For six months every year,
the Himalayan valleys of Kinnaur and Spiti emerge from a
thick cloak of snow to reveal a different, secret world to
man. Your discovery of the lesser-known Himalayas can
begin at the Banjara Camp in the Sangla Valley. At a
height of 2,700 mts the Banjara Camp is surrounded by
towering mountains on all sides and is set on the banks of
the Baspa river that surges through the valley. Long
walks to discover the amazing fauna and flora of the
valley, treks to view snow covered Himalayan peaks,
angling for trout, experiencing some of the local culture
and traditions, rock climbing, rappelling and river
crossing are only some of the delights that are on offer.
The Camp is an ideal setting for total relaxation with
cosy Swiss-style tents that have attached bathrooms, a
well-equipped kitchen and evening bonfires that keep the
chill away. There is no experience more calmer and
relaxing than sitting around the bonfire, beside the
gurgling Baspa river, feeding the senses with the sweet
sounds of the fresh mountain air while also feeding the
stomach from a scrumptious barbeque.
Best time to visit The Sangla Valley Camp stays open from April to October.
However, temperatures vary with the seasons. May to
September have pleasant days (light woolens) and cold
nights while April & October have pleasant days. The night
temperature may dip to 5 degrees.
