A personal note from Dilip Karar,
Owner, Geetanjali Travels

Many of you have travelled with us to the beautiful valleys of Kashmir, and I thank you for your trust. Today, I want to invite you on a different kind of journey. This is a journey for the soul that yearns for something deeper, for vistas that are not just beautiful, but truly divine. I am talking about the sacred land of Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh.
The path to Kinnaur is a legendary one, an expedition into the heart of the mighty Himalayas. It's a land of myths, where the air feels charged with spirituality and every mountain peak has a story to tell. And on this special journey, I am delighted to share that you will be welcomed not just by Geetanjali Travels, but by my own family.
The Majestic Drive to a Different World
The journey into the Kinnaur valley, primarily along the famed Hindustan-Tibet highway, is an experience in itself. As you leave the gentle plains behind, the landscape
transforms into a dramatic tapestry of deep gorges, roaring rivers, and towering cliffs. With our seasoned, expert drivers at the wheel of our comfortable vehicles, you can simply sit back and witness the grandeur unfold. The mighty Sutlej river will be your constant companion, carving its way through the mountains with timeless power. We plan our journey with carefully chosen stops, ensuring the drive is as comfortable as it is breathtaking.
Kalpa: Your Balcony to the Heavens
Arriving in Kalpa feels like stepping into a celestial amphitheatre. The air is crisp with the scent of pine and apple orchards. But what will truly capture your heart is the sight that greets you: a direct, unobscured, and utterly magnificent view of the Kinner Kailash range. Watching the first rays of the sun touch the sacred peak, painting it in hues of gold and crimson, is a moment of pure, unadulterated magic.
And here, I am proud to say, you will find a home away from home. My brother, Mr. Sandip Karar, is the proprietor of Hotel Akash, one of Kalpa’s most cherished properties. He has ensured that every room offers warmth, comfort, and of course, that spellbinding view. To be welcomed at Hotel Akash is to be welcomed by family, with warm hospitality that makes your stay truly special.
Chitkul: A Walk into a Living Postcard
Our journey continues to the enchanting village of Chitkul, famously known as the last inhabited village on this Indo-Tibetan border route. Visiting Chitkul is like stepping back in time. You will see charming houses with slate or wooden plank roofs, rolling green meadows dotted with wildflowers, and the pristine Baspa river flowing with crystal-clear water.
The serenity here is absolute. It is a place for gentle walks along the riverbank, for conversations with the warm and friendly Kinnauri people, and for quiet contemplation. And in this remote paradise, my brother Sandip has created another haven of comfort: Sehensha Resort. Thoughtfully designed to blend with the rustic beauty of the village, the resort provides all the modern comforts you need to relax and rejuvenate after a day of exploration. It is the perfect base from which to soak in the untouched beauty of Chitkul.
The Geetanjali and Karar Family Promise
When you travel with us to Kinnaur, you are more than just a tourist; you are a cherished guest of our family. We understand this land, we respect its challenges, and we know how to share its beauty in the safest and most comfortable way.
With Geetanjali Travels, and with the personal care of my brother at Hotel Akash and Sehensha Resort, your journey to this heavenly abode will be seamless and filled with moments of wonder.
