Kinnaur



Kinnaur, also referred to as "Land of God" is about 235 Km from Shimla and is understood for its serenity and wonder of the luxurious green and rocky mountainscape having Satluj, Baspa and Spiti river meandering through it. A brotherly fusion of Hinduism and Buddhism at one place reflects the existence of a culture of a special sort which is well preserved by its people during this era of modernization. Hindus visit Kinnaur to ascertain the famous Kinner Kailash, believed to be the house of Lord Shiva and therefore the Shivaling rocks, the stories of Pandavas and their link with Kinnaur is a great attraction. There also are old Buddhist monasteries and temples within the vicinity which hold special importance and are revered by Buddhists. Apart from religion, Kinnaur also features a vast scope in adventure sports like trekking and skiing. There are about nine known routes for trekking and a few which are five days or six-day trips. Kinnaur is documented for its delicious apples, Chilgoza, handlooms and handicrafts materials. Slight traces of modernization are often seen within the town, its cultures and other people but the world still be pristine, pure and magnificently beautiful.
