WHAT TO SEE

A temple known as Bering Nag dedicated to Jagas God and a Buddhist monastery is worth a visit. Famous Fair Fulaich is celebrated every year in the month of August-September over here.

A Trout farm has been established at Sangla by Fisheries Department and the river has plenty of trouts. The tourists can obtain license for fishing from the Fisheries Officer.

The village houses are unique examples of wooden architecture. About a kilometer short of Sangla, there is a Saffron Farm. Tibetan wood carving Centre also exists here. The quaint little houses, temples, gompas, and the people of Sangla Valley conjure up a perfect image of Shangri-La. Thousands years old monasteries still exists in the adjoining area. Both the Buddhists and Hindus live in perfect harmony symbolizing the traditional brotherhood and friendship.

But what fills up the senses in Sangla Valley are the exploratory treks or nature walks into the adjoining forests and villages. It, of course, goes without saying that Sangla Valley is home to some rare herbs and spices including the exotic black cumin seed, flora (chilgoza orchards besides apples) and fauna and the best cider this side of Suez. Batseri and Rakcham, the two nearby villages, so untouched yet by the outer world, are showcases for uncomplicated lives and lifestyles.

The valley is also connected with Garhwal by several passes situated along the southern ridge of the valley. The Shinka, Kimlay and Borsu Passes lead to the famous Har Ki Doon Valley. The trail over Lamkhaga pass descends to Harsil (2,620m) near Gangotri on the banks of the Bhagirathi River. Another trail branches off at the base of Lamkhaga Pass, climbs up to a 5,151m high pass, and joins the main trail on the western side of the pass, which meets the Harsil road-head near Gangotri.
