I had visited Kalpa whilst a student of GC Shimla in 1975. I have been out of Shimla for a very long period and now when Iam in US, I would like to see/get more information/pictures of the city and its surroundings to refresh my college trekking tour as I really don’t carry any picture with me right now. The Sutluj fascinates me all the times.
