If you’ve already ticked off Shimla & Manali from your Himachal bucket list, it’s time to level up with the Kinnaur tour package, the real Hidden Himachal. This 6N/7D Himalayan road trip kicks off from Chandigarh, rolls through Shimla to Kinnaur, and drops you into valleys where snow peaks and apple orchards go hand-in-hand. Spend your mornings in Sangla Valley, one of the prettiest offbeat spots in the Himalayas, and stroll through Chitkul – the last Indian village before Tibet.
Walk around the historic Kamru Fort and soak in the local Kinnauri culture. Then, visit Kalpa village, where the legendary Kinner Kailash peaks glow with every sunrise, and orchards spill with apples and chilgoza pine nuts. From ancient Narayan Nagini temples to Buddhist gompas and local pahadi life at Roghi Village, this tour isn’t just scenic, it’s cultural, spiritual, and adventure-packed all at once. If you’re planning a solo travel Himachal escape, or looking for an offbeat Himachal tour with family, this trip is all about hidden valleys, mountain roads, and stories that stay with you long after the ride.
