Last Village Of Indo – Tibet Border
After a small exploration in the local village, we departed from Chitkul on Day 4. On returning we stopped at Sangla had our breakfast at Sangla restaurant, upstairs to the first floor made completely out of wood, Having breakfast there and glancing out of the window at the mountains gives a different feeling. We ordered maggie, parantha, and omelette with chutney, which I never tasted before and was so mouthwatering. We also did some small shopping in the local shops and I must say it was cheaper for the woollen cloths compared to the metro cities. Then we departed and after Karcham diverted towards Kalpa. Just before reaching Peo there we found a fuel station to fill the tank once again, as the next one will be at Kaza only. We skipped going to Reckong Peo (or Kalpa), as we need to divert from the highway and then accent to reach Peo.
So we continued our journey and stopped for lunch in a roadside Punjabi dhaba at a place called, Skibba. After lunch, we departed from there. We crossed a wire suspension bridge over the Satluj river with a wooden base and only one vehicle could pass at one time through it. Soon after crossing the bridge, we were stopped by security check post to register our vehicle.
We have planned to reach Nako this day, but when we reached Pooh, we decided to stay here and not to go further so we can spend some time and get relaxed, instead of being in a hurry to Nako. So we diverted from the highway and ascended to Pooh village. Reaching Pooh, we found a guest house there, which is cheaper and peaceful. And the view from the balcony was breathtaking and we witnessed a beautiful sunset. Pooh gave us a different feeling and we also witnessed a local traditional marriage function there.
