our camping ride to “Chitkul” & Kalpa

About Chhitkul

Chitkul is a village in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. During winters, the place mostly remains covered with the snow and the inhabitants move to lower regions of Himachal. Chitkul, a village located on right bank of Baspa River, is the last village of the Baspa Valley and the last village on the old Hindustan-Tibet trade route. It is also the last point in India one can travel to without a permit. According to a recent study by Centre of Atmospheric Sciences at IIT Delhi, Chitkul has the cleanest air in India. particular interest at Chitkul are its houses with either slate or wooden plank roofs, a Buddhist temple and a small tower. However, there has been an increased use of tin-roofs, especially the high school and the army/ITBP barracks. The Kagyupa temple has a highly valued old image of the Shakyamuni Buddha, a Wheel of Life mandala and four Directional Kings on either side of the door. Chitkul is practically the last point of the famous Kinner Kailash Parikrama as one can hitch a hike from here onwards.

Epic Ride to Shinkula Pass

It is tale of an adventurous story of Most Beautiful, Most Dangerous, Most Difficult & Toughest Roads…which Leads to SHINKULA PASS .

About Shinkula Pass

Shinkula , Shinkhunla or Singola is one of tough pass & we climbed this pass in the month of February , so in other words we can say it is Winter expedition to Shinkula pass .It is a mountain pass in India, on the border between Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh. There is a shallow lake or pool 20m below the pass.

This pass is gateway to Zanskar valley via Lahual / Spiti .A rudimentary road to Shingo La was first constructed in 2016. The road was extended to Lakong above the Kurgiakh-Chu in 2017 and a very rough extension to the village of Kurgiakh was made by bulldozers and towed dump trucks in 2018. As of the summers of 2018 and 2019, the road from Lakong to Kurgiakh was routed within the waters of the Kurgiakh-Chu river and was impassible to all but tracked or large wheeled offroad construction vehicles.There is a shallow lake or pool 20m below the pass. The pass is on a long-distance footpath linking Zanskar and Lahaul, used often by locals and trekkers alike.

Ride To Pul Kanjari : “Indo-Pak Border”

Pul Kanjri is a historical site situated 35 km away from Amritsar on Amritsar-Lahore road, near the villages of Dhanoa Khurd and Dhanoa Kalan on the Wagah border. It is one of the heritage sites built by Maharaja Ranjit Singh, where he used to rest while travelling with his troops. During his reign, Pul Kanjari was an important trading centre. The legend has it when Maharaja Ranjit Singh married Begum Gul Bahar, on their way to Lahore they had to cross this canal on Ravi river. People used to cross the canal by foot but Begum Gul Bahar refused to do so. Since Maharaja Ranjit Singh was deeply in love with Begum Gul Bahar, he had a small bridge built for her. Some part of the bridge still exists. It was named Pul Kanjri. It was greatly in news during 1971 war. This fortress also contains a bathing pool, a temple, a Gurudwara and a mosque.

People used to come to Pul Kanjri from far-flung areas, including Amritsar and Lahore, for shopping. The town was inhabited by Arora Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus who lived together until the partition of India. The historical town has been reduced to a tiny village now. The area is located on the present day border of the two states and it was briefly occupied by Pakistan in 1965 and 1971. However, the area was later returned to India as a part of peace treaty between the countries.

UNFORGETTABLE RIDE TO CHANSHAL PASS

(Nomad Rajdeep Singh)

The Chanshal Pass, or Chanshal Valley,which at 4,520 meters is the highest peak in the Shimla district links Dodrakwaar and Rohru in the Shimla district of the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh ,it offers enthralling panoramic views of the valley. Covering many of the mountain passes howsoever high or remote Chanshal Pass was always in my bucket list and on one fine lucky month of November I have done the most treacherousChanshal Pass of Shimla District (Himachal Pradesh) on 16 November 2019 after Read many Travelogues on chanshal Pass by some fellow riders/Travellers, gave me the initial push to decide about visiting Chanshal pass & Finally ,decided my next destination as Chanshal pass I have start my journey on 15th morning .My route was Ludhiana- zirakpur-Shimla- kufri-throg -Rohru- chirgaon-ShilaDesh (Chirgaon) – Chanshal and back via same route by driving nonstop 15 hours from Chanshal pass to Ludhiana. Total duration of trip was approximately 24to 26 hours & total distance approximately 750 kilometers.

There was hardly any traffic till Himalayan Expressway. Going was very smooth & crossed Shimla too without any heavy traffic as it was off season .I have to take right turn from theog to take route of rohru , road till rohru is smooth fresh black tarmac. Finally by 8 pm me arrived at Village Shiladesh(after Chirgaon) with many lunch/Tea breaks , Yes If anyone is Momo lover there is a guy who sells very delicious veg momo with vegitable soup on way to chirgaon.I have booked my stay at Khanan Homestay & Restaurant (shelaDesh-Chirgaon) .

Its newly built home stay with clean toilets & good food . Next morning I have started my journeytowards Chanshal Pass necxt morning and real fun/adventure starts because road till chanshal pass is in really really in bad shape and totally offroadas it rained in night road became with full muddy& slushy, after few km road due to fresh snowfall I have to encounter black snow too and it was real challenge to ride on black snow so reduced my tyre pressure and rode till pass without any fall . It was one of the most toughest ride I had because of bad road condition caused due to rain , mud, slush and snow/black snow but vista along with mountain pass road is matchless.

I have wandered for an hour or so.at top It was quite windy and very cold at the top & I was feeling hungry, there was no bhaba due to off season I always carry Butane stove with me so cooked Maggie & Tea for myself & started my journey back home non stop from Pass to Ludhiana.

This ride was most memorable ride in my riding carrier due to bad road conditions but vistas of Pabbar valley & Pabber riveralong with road side is matchless.

I hope this travel story help rider to prepare their ride to Chanshal Pass .
