Renting out your home in Sangla

Our advice for Sangla

Apple country with a short season

Apples are the valley's main cash crop, and many families own orchards with traditional houses of stone and wood. Visitors come mainly from spring to autumn: blossom in spring, a green valley and a roaring river in summer, harvest colours in autumn. Winters are cold, with temperatures falling to around minus 15°C, and upper villages empty as residents move lower.

Who books

• Road-trippers doing the Kinnaur–Spiti circuit, often for one or two nights.
• Families from Chandigarh and Delhi on a longer summer break.
• Photographers and walkers exploring the Baspa, the Kamru temple and the forests above.
• Bikers who need secure parking and somewhere to dry their gear.

The road is the real risk

Kinnaur's highways cut through unstable slopes, and landslides and rockfall can close them, especially during the monsoon. Guests may arrive a day late or be forced to leave early. A clear, fair policy on weather-related changes, and someone who answers the phone, matter more than any amenity.
