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 neighboring 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.
