Kinnaur is a place like no other in Himachal Pradesh. The land of Apples, Kinnaur provides much more in terms of views and experiences. From Chitkul to Sangla, from the stunning flow of the Baspa river to the magical snow covered mountain tips – Kinnaur has it all. Experience nature in the lap of the hills and camp out to your heart’s desire.
Kinnaur and happiness
Best time to Visit
As with the rest of Himachal Pradesh – the best time to visit Kinnaur is pre-monsoon months of April-June. The weather is amazing, there is a lot to explore and you can easily camp out without the fear of landslides. However, if you’re a thrill-seeker – then winter months also make for some magical times. However, keep in mind that in order to camp out in the winters- you need to be a seasoned camper and understand the needs and skills required in the wild.
What to Pack?
If you’re new to the camping setup – don’t worry you can even plan by booking at certain campsites. However, ensure you pack sufficient clothes and prepare to dress in layers. Also, ensure you have all the safety equipment needed as well as a medicine kit at your disposal. Make sure your are trek worthy and you have a that is supportive. The most important thing is a proper . A good night’s sleep can make or break your experience and thus, I truly believe that this is one thing you should definitely invest in, if you’re planning on camping.
Bonus tip – Pack a Tarpauling Sheet (if in your own tents) and lay it down before setting up your tent. This will ensure a beauty sleep like no other!
Where can I pitch my tent in Kinnaur?
Anywhere really, but make sure you take precautions. Regular advice would be to pitch near villages or dhabas – unless you’re a pro at managing in the wilderness
You can pitch your tents in many places. However, you need to take care of planning prior to heading out – this will help in making the experience seamless.
near a river stream. This was you can ensure that the impact of the wind on your would be lesser. However, maintain some healthy distance from the river basin – just in case the water levels rise and you might be facing some sudden flash floods. However, this option should only be used if you’re visiting in non-monsoon months – and even then with caution.
Ensure you’re not camping in open fields. Same as above, this just helps in making sure the impact of the wind is lesser. Another good spot to avoid is on the edge of cliffs. Basically, use as much common sense as you in deciding the perfect location. Keep in mind that while, yes, it might be cool to wake up to stunning views – you need to factor in the risk levels to make the trip safe. Also, please ensure you fasten your properly!
Are there campsites available? Yes, you will find many campsites available in Kinnaur. In fact, you may schedule your trips according to the places you want to stay in. There are some stunning views that await you. As an added advantage – these campsites usually take care of all your needs – including all meals. Apart from that, you might be lucky enough to get some electricity availability depending on the luxury you choose for your campsites.
Do not camp out in sensitive zones. Ensure you follow all rules and limitations, if there are some, and adhere to the designated camping sites. Such rules are put in place to maintain the pristineness of the region along with your safety.
Beautiful Sangla Valley – Rakcham Village
Basic Camping tips
Do not leave out any food in the open. There are wild animals, especially in the lush green of Kinnaur Valley. And food makes it very easy to attract their attention. You do not want to get in a tight spot with not much to do when wild animals come around!
Let your loved ones know of your whereabouts before you become unavaiblae due to lack of connectivity. Don’t make them worry when you enjoy bliss!
Other things to keep in mind
If you light up a campfire – please ensure you put it off completely. Also, check the vicinity and ensure you’re not setting up a fire near a thatched roof. These might seem like obvious choices – but, these are the difference in saving disasters from happening
Stay warm, stay hydrated – even if you’re visiting in the peak summer months – the nights WILL be cold. So, ensure you are cozy in your bed before you head to sleep. Ensure you’re warm and dry for the night to have a pleasant experience. Also, throughout the day – ensure you’re keeping yourself hydrated. Given that you’re in pleasant weather –you might think you need lesser water. But, in hills, you’re exercising more and moving around a lot – the air is purer and you’ll digest quicker. Just ensure you have sufficient water in your system at all times. At night, do relive yourself before turning in – there is nothing worse than having to wake up in the middle of the night and getting out of your cozy sleeping bag.
don’t forget to explore – there is a lot of hills to cover. Especially in Kinnaur – heading out on day treks will lead you to the most magnificent views of high and mighty mountains and hidden waterfalls.
Try your hand at fishing. If you’re anywhere near the riverbed of the Baspa river – having fun in catching the most spectacular (and delicious) Himalayan trout! Grill them for a spectacular dinner which would make for the best memories.
Stunning hills and views
Conclusion
The Great need to be enjoyed by truly being in the lap of nature. If you’re anything like me and love connecting with your truest self – Kinnaur will not disappoint. Its beauty is incomparable, even with other Himachali destinations. The distance, the journey, the place, the people, the views all make for some of the most memorable experiences. Enjoy camping in Kinnaur to make the most of your journey. However, do ensure you leave nothing but footsteps in the hills and clean up after yourself. Clean travelling is travelling by love! See you out there, fellow hill-lovers!
Rajgarh lies on the Solan – Nahan route in the remote and highly unexplored Sirmour district of Himachal Pradesh. Home to some of the most beautiful nature-centric stays and adventure centric , Rajgarh is full of apple and peach orchards.
In fact, it is often known as the Peach Valley of Himachal Pradesh and has some of India’s finest stone fruits, including peaches, plums, and apricots. Perched at a comfortable height of 2170 meters, Rajgarh is a gem waiting to be explored.
You’ll be far enough from the world to feel the pristineness of nature, yet, close enough to travel comfortably and reach easily. Also, I must add that with considerable natural beauty, this tiny hamlet is also the base for several trek routes – including one that leads to the peak of Chur Dhar (Chur Chandni).
Let’s quickly dive into the details:
About Rajgarh
Situated in the Sirmour district, Rajgarh is a popular getaway ex-Chandigarh (105 km). Here camps offer guests walks, treks, and a range of adventure activities. Thus, making for positively a beautiful experience. You may choose to visit for a quick getaway, a long weekend destination, or even longer to enjoy the slow and steady pace of mother nature.

Rajgarh Weather
As with Himachali destinations, weather in Rajgarh experiences snow in the winter months of January to March, and the temperatures are usually close to freezing points during this time period. Thus, remember to pack up and layer your clothes when enjoying this winter wonderland.
Also, Summer months are beautiful and experience the Himalayan summer temperatures – however, it is still important to layer up. Weather in the hills can change quickly and just with a turn in the direction you might be away from the super warm sun into shady regions. Thus, it is imperative to keep at least a light jumper available with you at all times.

Best time to visit Rajgarh
As with most Himalayan destinations, the best time to visit is the pre-monsoon months if you’re looking to get in a lot of activities. Alternatively, winter months make for magical snowy days and will definitely be memories to remember.
However, at all times – it is usually advisable to avoid the monsoon months of May to July/August. While the hills are pretty and at their most luscious during this time – it is also a time when the hills are prone to landslides and you might get stuck.
How to reach Rajgarh
Rajgarh is situated on the Solan – Nahan route. While there are no direct airports or railway stations in the town itself, here are the details of the nearest stations.
By Air
The nearest airport to Rajgarh is Shimla, situated at 90 KMs from the town. However, the airport has exceptionally limited connectivity and you still have to travel a lot to get to Rajgarh.
Chandigarh Airport is situated 105 KMs from the town and experiences far better connectivity as compared to Shimla. Another alternative that can be considered is Dehradun, 180 km from Rajgarh, and takes the route from the Nahan side.
By Rail
The nearest railway station is Solan, situated 40 km from Rajgarh. However, again, the trains to Solan are limited. Kalka would be the best option if considering covering part of your journey by train. Kalka Railway Station is at a distance of 90 km and Chandigarh is 130 km away. If you are traveling on the Kalka Shimla toy train, you should get off at Solan and hail a bus/ cab to Rajgarh.
By Road
Chandigarh is 130 km, Delhi is at a distance of 374 km and Shimla lies 96 km away. From Chandigarh, it will take you approximately 3 hours to reach, including pit-stops. The journey is beautiful, yet uneventful. The roads are easily manageable for anyone who has some experience in the hills.
Things to do in Rajgarh
Being an integral, yet highly known, part of the beautiful state of Himachal Pradesh – you know you’ll not be disappointed by Rajgarh. Whether you’re inclined to explore nature and its many trails, calm your soul with the views or are into spiritual getaways – Rajgarh has you covered.
Rajgarh is one such place that charms its visitors with its natural beauty, the peaceful ambiance, and much more; it is a herculean task to describe its charming nature in words but it must be experienced.

Churi Chandni Dhar
Churi Chandni Dhar, translating literally to bangles of the snow ridge, is a peak considered to be the highest peak away from the Himalayan ranges of the state. And, Rajgarh is the base for this trek.
The trek to its summit begins with a steep and inclined hike through dense deodar forests, terraced farmlands, and pasture lands. The peak is located within 56 sq. km forest sanctuary which further adds on to its charm.
Haripur Dhar
Haripur Dhar situated 56 km away is famous for the ancient temple of Mata Bhangyani Devi, a god sister of Lord Shirgul, the I principal deity of the area, whose seat is at Churdhar. On way to Haripurdhar, Nohradhar is 28 km and is a base for to Churdhar.
There are many trek routes in the valley to Churdhar, like Sailpaw-Dhokhta~Churdhar (7km), Haripurdhar-Churdhar (17), Nohradhar-Churdhar (14km), Sarahan-Churdhar (7 km), Habban-Churdhar (15 km).
Baru Sahib
Baru Sahib is a Gurudwara and located about 26 km from Nalagarh. Situated in beautiful lush Shivalik, the calm tranquility of the region is a must!
Dolanji Bon Monastery
Dolanji Bon Monastery, also called the ‘Yungdrung Bon Monastery has situated around 28 km from Nalagarh. The monastery is run by the Yungdrung Bon Monastic Centre and was founded in 1969 by the Naoot Lungtog Tenpai Nyima. While the Monastery is simple – the peace it offers through its location and the Zen of spirituality is incomparable.
Lord Shiva Shrine
Situated at an altitude of 3640 m, there is a gorgeous 5000-year-old shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva. This place is often known as the Shirgul Maharaja and is a major draw of the region. Once you visit this place, you’re assumed to be washed off of your sins. Hence, it is no surprise that a lot of pilgrims visit the shrine yearly.
Stunning Hills and Beautiful Greens (Picture Credits – Vibhu)
Trails around the region
If you’re an explorer- you’ll be blessed here! One can easily spot many a waterfall every 10-20 Kms. However, views are to be earned when in the hills, they are not presented to you.
You’ll have to go out and explore – climb some hills and search across the hidden trails to be blessed with the views. I should mention here that the route from Rondi offers a series of waterfalls one after the other each one more attractive than the other.
Food Options
Hotels in the region have some hotels. And, this is also accompanied by a lot of dhabas as well along the roadside. However, one place I MUST recommend which is slightly out of the city (around 13 KMs) is the Chail Palace.
And, if you are heading in this direction – this is a place you won’t want to miss out on. Also, the yesteryear charm and the colonial feel from the British Raj is an experience all on its own. Do visit.
Stay Options
You’ll find all sorts of hotels here from luxury to budget. The Tourist Inn is a budget hotel and provides a great base for all your needs in exploring the cute quaint town of Rajgarh.
Also if you’re in the mood for camping then do try out the Peach camps with their comfy and a beautiful view!
Conclusion
Waiting to experience the wilderness? Of course, then this is the place for you to get the feel and thrill of being in a forest which is home to a wide range of flora and fauna.
Have a travel question?? You can and to ask your travel questions in a direct message on Instagram or comments on my YouTube videos. I also conduct a weekly Q&A session every Saturday evening on Instagram, so see you there.
