How To Reach Sangla Valley
Via Air
Two airports exist that can enable travellers to go at least halfway between Delhi and Sangla Valley. The closest one is in Shimla, and the other is at Kullu, close to Manali. From Shimla or Kullu, take a bus or a private taxi to complete the remaining distance. There is also a different flying route that can be used because Rampur has a helipad, but doing so might put more strain on your finances. For anyone with limited time who would still like to see the amazing and uncharted Kinnaur in Himachal Pradesh, I would recommend flying as the best mode of transportation to get to Sangla Valley from Delhi.
Via Train
There aren't any direct trains available to Sangla Valley, which is 8,530 feet above sea level and still under development, so this is a sad fact. However, there is still some distance that may be covered by train from Delhi to Sangla Valley. From New Delhi, there are numerous trains that stop at interchanges on their way to Shimla. The train ride takes about 6 hours to get from Delhi to Kalka, which serves as a hub. There is a toy train that runs between Kalka and Shimla; it travels at an average speed of 18 km/h, so it will take about 5 hours to reach Shimla. After arriving in Shimla, you have the option of taking a bus or reserving a private vehicle to get you to Sangla Valley. Although cars are the best option, if I had to choose a comfortable way to go to Sangla Valley with the benefit of stunning vistas,.
Via Road
When someone asks me the best method to get to Sangla Valley from Delhi, I always say that driving is one of the options. Despite Google's claims to the contrary, the road trip from Delhi takes about 16 hours. Delhi, Chandigarh, Shimla, Kufri, Narkanda, Rampur, Karcham, and Sangla are all stops along the route. Another possible route may be to substitute Manali for Shimla, although doing so would present its own set of challenges because Rohtang Pass would be involved. The Manali-Sangla Valley route is not the best option if you want to go from Delhi to Sangla Valley in the winter because the Rohtang Pass is also closed during that time.
Best Time To Visit Sangla Valley
May to September is the best time to visit Sangla Valley because that is the time of year. You can enjoy the real colors of the fertility land of the Sangala Valley with the combination of blue skies. It is also a great time for the apple harvesting with enough safety and joy.
Summers in Sangla are short but definitely enjoyable; April to June is considered summer, but in reality it is really only May and June. The 40-kilometer road from Karcham to Chitkul is still open, so the entire Sangla Valley is accessible, as are all trek routes.
In general, monsoons are not thought to be the best times to visit the Himalayas because of the annual heavy rainfall that falls on the entire region surrounding Shimla, Kinnaur, and Manali; landslides caused by the constant rain become all too common during this time; road conditions deteriorate and occasionally it can rain nonstop, forcing you to stay indoors and ruining any sightseeing plans you may have; if you are planning to visit Sangla during monsoon, it would be best to first inquire about the weather forecast.
If you want to experience Sangla at its best, visit during the summer or monsoon. If you travel during the winter, though, be sure to pack warm clothes because the winters are very cold, with highs of 10 to -10 degrees Celsius.
