Baspa River

The Chung Sakhago Pass lies at the dome of the valley. Originates from magnificent Baspa hills and combines with the Sutlej river, it is fed by the recurrent glaciers and shares the catchment zone with the Ganges. One of the quaintest rivers of the Himalayas, Baspa River offers breath-taking panoramas of Sangla valley, apple orchards, snow-attired mountains, and crystal clear streams. The valley is positioned adjoining to the river and is exquisitely covered with huge oak and pine jungles, making it a picture-perfect scenery. Although the lower side of the valley brags of green meadows and pastures, the upper territories have hypnotic snow-bounded mountains.
Also, labeled as an angler's heaven, the Baspa River is abode to a massive array of fishes including Brown and Rainbow Trouts.
