Are you looking for place where you can find snow capped peaks, silent pine forests and villages that seem to be frozen in time? Then you must explore Kalpa. Located in the majestic folds of Kalpa Valley, this lesser known destination in Himachal Pradesh is everything a traveller dreams of—raw, untouched and soul soothing.

But where exactly is Kalpa and how do you get there?

Kalpa is a small but gorgeous village in Kinnaur, a district located in Himachal Pradesh, located at an altitude of around 9,700 feet. This village is situated in the shadow of the huge Kinner Kailash ranges whose snowy peaks seem to appear magically close on clear days. Unlike the crowded tourist hubs of Shimla or Manali, Kalpa village offers peace, and moreover crisp mountain air with kind of silence you only find when you’re far from the city noise.

How to Reach Kalpa?

If you’re planning to come from Delhi then you’re in for an adventure. The Delhi to Kalpa distance is approximately 565 km and takes around 14-16 hours by road. This might be slightly long journey but definitely a scenic one. But if you just want to ...
... visit with worrying about all the management then you can book Himachal Tour Packages that include a trip to Kalpa and its nearby places also.

The road winds through major Himachal towns like Shimla and Rampur offering the best and changing landscapes. If you’re not keen on self driving then there are options like a bus on rent in Delhi perfect for groups. Local buses are also available but travelling together in whole bus is different kind of fun.
From Shimla to Kalpa the distance is roughly 224 kilometers. Though it may seem short but the hilly roads mean a drive of about 7-8 hours depending on weather and road conditions. But every minute is worth it—expect dramatic valleys, apple orchards and sleepy hamlets all the way.

What Makes Kalpa Special?

Kalpa isn’t just another hill station—it’s an experience. With ancient monasteries, wooden houses and clear skies dotted with stars it’s easy to fall in love with the place. In winter the whole village is blanketed in snow while in summer it comes alive with blooming orchards and vibrant festivals.Nearby villages like Roghi offer cliff side views that are not for the faint hearted.

The region is also part of many popular Himachal packages like the Kinnaur Chitkul Narkanda Tour Package which combines adventure with scenic beauty. From Kalpa you can also plan visits to Chitkul—the last village before the Indo-Tibetan border—and experience life in India’s highest inhabited villages.

So if you’re done with mainstream hill stations and looking for a fresh escape pack your bags for Kalpa Himachal. The journey is long, the roads winding but the rewards—priceless. Let the mountains call and this time follow them to Kalpa Kinnaur.
