Kinnaur is a strikingly beautiful scenic spot with two large rivers - the Sutlej and the Spiti - racing through it. The place is full of fast flowing streams and picturesque hamlets. Two of the world's great mountain ranges - the Zanskar and the Greater Himalaya - are also in Kinnaur. It is also home to some of India's oldest legends, and the religion of its people is a remarkable mix of Hinduism and Buddhism. Nichar (2150 mts), Baspa valley (79 km from Nichar), Recong Peo (Kinnaur's district headquarters), Kalpa etc. are some of the places of tourist interest. There are several trek routes in these places and temples are famous for their fascinating architecture.
