Most of you are already familiar with Sangla Valley. Often described as the most beautiful of the Himachal valleys, Rakchham and Chitkul are the two old villages in this picturesque part of Himalayas and after them is named the heavenly Rakchham-Chitkul Wildlife Sanctuary.

For visiting Sangla (or Rakchham Chitkul Wildlife Sanctuary) you need to take a detour from the National Highway that goes to Kinnaur. At a place called Karchham, an iron bridge crosses over to the Left bank of river Sutlej and takes one along the river Baspa to the valley of Sangla. Sangla, Batseri, Rakchham, Chitkul are some of the villages in the valley. The sanctuary itself is located on upper reaches of the side-mountains.
