Legend has it that Kalpa was the winter home of Lord Shiva. The imposing Kinner Kailash peak (6,050m) changes colors throughout the day. Kalpa is also famous for its high-quality apples and Chilgoza (pine nuts). A walk to the 'Suicide Point' offers vertiginous views of the Sutlej river miles below.
