Ok there is an option of catching a semi deluxe bus from chandigarh at 6 which is bound for Rekong Peo. Please opt for this book and not for the ordinary one for the sake of 100 rupees as the ordinary bus will give you one hell of pain. Early in the morning get down at Rakcham near the dam from where you can easily catch a bus bound for Sangla and Chitkul.
