My trip to Kalpa in Himachal Pradesh was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the heart of the Kinnaur district, this quaint little village offered a perfect escape from the chaos of city life.
One of the highlights of my visit was discovering the world-famous Kinnauri apples — crisp, juicy, and bursting with flavor, they truly lived up to their reputation. As I walked through the lush orchards, I could see why these apples are so cherished.
But what truly took my breath away was the mesmerizing view of the majestic Kinner Kailash range. Watching the sun rise over its snow-draped peaks, painting the sky in shades of pink and gold, was a moment I’ll never forget. The serene atmosphere, combined with the natural beauty and local warmth, made Kalpa a destination that touched my soul.
