Rakchham is a hidden Paradise in Sangla Valley, Himachal Pradesh on the bank of river "BASPA".
it is just 10kms before Chitkul Village.
I went there in winters when it was snowing like heaven and temperature was (-15°C ) . This is very small village with high glacier Mountains. if you find a place to traveling solo, this is the best option.
Winters are very harsh there. I was keen to see how people lived in the extreme cold. But I guess as my experience says winters are the best season to see there local's life, How they live, how they servive.
if they, why not we?
You can explore this valley in 2-3 days with beautiful different-different nature views, Can camping there, Hike around the valley in Winters, Meet Locals, sit around Frozen Baspa River sides. It is a picturesque Kinda place.
