Day 1: Chandigarh to Narkanda
Drive through Shimla and climb to Narkanda (about 8,900 ft), roughly 6 to 7 hours away. The slow ascent helps your body start adjusting to altitude. Spend the evening walking through the apple orchards and pine forests, and rest well.
Day 2: Narkanda to Sangla
Follow the Sutlej river into the Kinnaur region. The road passes Rampur and Karcham before turning into the Baspa Valley. Sangla is green and gentle, with wooden houses and apple trees. Visit the Kamru Fort and enjoy a relaxed evening.
Day 3: Sangla to Chitkul and Kalpa
Start with Chitkul, the last village on the old India-Tibet route, set beside the Baspa river. Then continue to Kalpa, where the evening light on the Kinner Kailash peaks is a highlight. Keep your camera handy.
