Access to Sangla valley has always been
elusive. Hundreds of years ago, the heroes
of the epic Mahabharata hid here during
the last year of their exile. Much later
the valley was closed for strategic reasons.
The Indo-Tibet border is only 20 kms. away.
Sangla valley has a timeless heritage :
Polyandry, Hinduism, Buddhism, Oracles and
the Bhojpatra - a rare tree bark finer than
the finest of papers. Ancient Indian scriptures
were written on them. At the Baspa banks
you can loll in a hammock in the neighbouring
woods. The aroma, the humming wind, and
the fallen leaves which crackle beneath
the feet are an experience which you will
always cherish. As is the siesta by the
brook called Baspa. It boasts of the best
trout in India.
Besides our hospitality, you will love the
hot baths, alfresco breakfasts, bar-be-cue,
and the recreational facilities. And should
you lose a game of croquet, m'sieur, you can
put our boomerang to fitting use.
