Kinnaur Valley
The Kinnaur Kailash Parikrama is one of the most sacred and demanding treks in the Indian Himalayas, encircling the holy Kinnaur Kailash mountain (6,050 m). Pilgrims and trekkers walk together through dense forests, high-altitude pastures, and ancient villages of the Kinnaur tribe. The trail passes the famous Shivling-shaped rock pillar revered by both Hindus and Buddhists — a genuinely spine-tingling sight.
Obtain required permits from the SDM office in Reckong Peo before the trek. The route crosses restricted Inner Line Permit zones.
