Rakcham, Sangla Valley, Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh, India

The view of the Baspa/Sangla Valley as seen from Chitkul, Himachal Pradesh. Chitkul is undeniably beautiful and I look forward to revisiting it time and again at different times of the year. This is very close to the scene that I'd draw when I was a kid

View over Mathi temple dedicated to the goddess of Chitkul and said to be the oldest in the valley, with Kinnaur Kailash mountain range in the background. Chitkul (3,450m) is the last Indian frontier village before Tibet with no motorable road beyond it.
