Kinnaur with all its beauty and splendor fell from the clouds to take its place in the Himalayas The strikingly beautiful Kinnaur is bounded to the north by the Zanskar range and to the south, the greater Himalaya . The journey through Kinnaur is not just merely a visual experience but an intensely spiritual voyage too.In the olden times the traditional Kinner Kailash Parikarama was a long journey on foot, over 200kms. Starting from the Buddhist temple of Powari in the Lower Kinnaur, the route wound along the bank of the Satluj, into the Tedong valley, over the charang pass, and back to Powari again. But, now motor roads have cut down the walk to a five day trek from Thangi in the Tedong valley to Chitkul, the last village in the Baspa valley. During the Janam Ashtami (Birth day of Lord Krishna) Festival, which usually falls in the Month of August there is a traditional festival when all the pilgrims from adjoining villages gather at the Village of Charang and embark on the onward yatra of Kinner Kailash.
