Chhitkul

Reviewed By sandy_tofly - Chandigarh, India

Post pandemic and lockdowns.. We decided to move out of city and spend some time in mountains and work from there.. Chitkul was always on our mind.. But due to limited connectivity we choose weekend to visit our wish.. Surprisingly connectivity has really improved but limited to BSNL... Approach was difficult but totally worth it. The pictures available online does no justice to The beauty the place offers.. The serenity is unmatched.. We stayed at Samaa Resorts and that was the best choice.. We felt very safe there as they adapted all safety measures required due to corona.. Walking around.. Sitting by the river and admiring the mountains around ...is the memory that is etched in our hearts and we definitely want to visit the place again..!

Sangla Buddhist Monastery

Reviewed By Arunverma - Amritsar, India

Both my wife and myself visited this monastery. This monastery is attractive and situated at the top of the hill. People have to walk a lot upwards to reach there. People in monastery offer 'prasad' (apple, almond, etc. even biscuit) to tourist. The famous Sangla Buddhist Monastery is located near Reckong Peo in Brelengi Thus, and is also known as Brelengi Gompa, in Sangla. The monastery was founded in 1992 by the Mahabodhi Society to assist the Dalai Lama to perform the Kalachakra ceremony. It is one of the best and most popular places nearby Sangla, where large number of tourists visit everyday. The monastery displays modern Buddhist edifice and near to the monastery is a 10 meter high statue of standing Buddha, which looks majestic. The Sangla valley has a strong influence of Buddhism and so, the monasteries here attract a lot of tourists who come here to enjoy the astounding beauty of the place as well as to see the monastery. The wooden walls and the roof of this amazing monastery are intricately designed to give a great experience to the visitors who adore the Tibetan culture selflessly. Reaching the Buddhist Monastery is easy as there are regular buses that connect Sangla to major cities like Shimla and Delhi.

A beautiful village which looks just out of cartoon movies in which you see the starting of all stories. You will hardly see a soul around but the whole entrance setting is amazing.
