Surrounded by mountains and glaciers, Sangla valley is
probably the prettiest region in Kinnaur and is absolutely gorgeous after the
monsoons when the valley spreads an array of colours, apples turn red and the
climate is pleasant. Amidst all this landscape is Roojoom Backpackers Guesthouse, one of the best places to stay in Sangla. Located a kilometer away from
Sangla bazaar on the way to Chitkul, the guest house is a lovely colourful place
with fluttering prayer flags, apple orchards in its backyard, a rooftop café and
spectacular views all around. They have five rooms, all with attached baths, basic amenities and face the mountains. What more can you ask for?.
What I loved:
Location: The views from the guest house are breathtakingly
beautiful. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides with the Baspa river flowing
way below.
Comfortable rooms: The rooms are spacious and well
maintained with comfortable beds and quilts.
Clean baths: All rooms come with clean attached baths. They
also provide hot water on request.
Café and common dining area: The roof top café might well be
a place you wouldn’t want to leave as the views are surreal. The café is open
to outsiders too. The common dining space on the ground floor is a nice place
to meet likeminded people and share travel experiences.
Joey and his staff: Joey from USA runs the guest house and both he
and his staff are very friendly and helpful.
Tariff: This is a good budget option in Sangla and is priced
at INR 600 per night for single occupancy and INR 700 per night for double
occupancy.
What I did not like:
Wifi: There is no wifi provided, however, most data networks
function well here.
Payment: They accept only cash.
Verdict: Excellent
Address:
Sangla Chitkul road, Sangla, Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh, India.
