There is a place in Himachal, in the valley of Sutlej River, enway to Spiti valley, called 'Recong Peo'. I really don't know why it is named how it is named, but its an interesting name....
As you travel upwards from Recong Peo, at the feet of Kinnaur Kailash snow capped peaks, is a tiny hamlet called 'Kalpa'. And when you enter this place, you pretty much forget everything else.
It's a world of it's own, ironical and beautiful - sleepy livewire people, buddhist hinduism followers, rows of neat emptiness, monateries followed by nagini temple.
The place enthralls, the apple and peach orchards hold you captive. The walks on the narrow lanes with small water streams of pure and ice-cold crytalline waters, gushing out from unsuspecting corners, are all stuff memories are made of.
I am in love with the mountains and this place makes me go - Mea culpa, Kyrie eleison .....Aha!!

At a monastery cum School in Rekong Peo (do you notice how big is the Buddha Statue...)
Inegenious ways to go to class.
The Kinnaur Kailash
Near the orchards
On the roads
Buddha looks at me
And thats the main monastery of Kalpa
