Reckong Peo

Day 1

The journey from Delhi to Peo is not as easy as it takes 18 hours to reach Kinnaur. But the journey is really worth it You will find only local buses here and not Volvo which means you will have to carry a quilt or blanket As it gets very cold at night and you won’t be able to sleep But as these are ordinary buses they are very cheap. So we have finally reached Reckong Peo.

Reckong Peo bus stand is the main bus stand of Kinnaur So whenever you are coming to Kinnar you will come to Reckong Peo for sure That is Kinner Kailash behind me. People have gone there trekking and they pray to Kinner Kailash. After reaching there you can stay at Peo which is Kinnaur’s main market. Or are you can head to Kalpa which is very beautiful.

That I have been here so many times. I was lucky enough to explore really special things about Kinnaur, For example, Sangla’s Holi It’s a three-day festival And I haven’t seen the Holi which is as colorful vibrant unique, and culturally rich as this one. The snow-clad mountains surrounding the colors make this festival very unique.

Independent India’s first voter

In Kalpa, we met independent India’s first voter. Whose name is Shyam Saran Negi There were 3 schools in Kinnaur? That also the only primary We defeated the British and got our freedom We voted happily. After we received freedom voting was done in 1952. But here it happened in 1951

Why did it happen?

It happened 6 months before But why did it happen 6 months before As it snows here a lot, voting was not possible during that time. That’s why voting occurred here 6 months before, in October 1951 voted 6 months and 6 hours before others.

Festival from Kinnaur

We was very lucky to have explored Kinnaur with a local family for over a month

As a result, they showed me the places which are not even available and have no sign on Google Maps

A very vibrant festival Which is celebrated with full energy and colors.
