We were in Sarahan and today’s plan was to visit Bhimakali Temple in the morning followed by hotel check-out and proceed towards Narkanda as a stop-over before moving towards Delhi next day.
But around 9 AM, our hotel owner from Sangla sent some whatsapp images of today’s weather and view in Sangla, which was simply unbelievable. Sky was clear with no clouds, rain or snowfall and the shining sun was making everything majestic.
We were tempted to see those beautiful scenes. Since we already covered most of the places in Sangla, so we decided to visit Kalpa (5 km above Reckong Peo) again.
Soon we got confirmation from the owner of the hotel in Reckong Peo (where we stayed) about clear sky. But with a little warning that there will be lot of snow on the roads in the higher regions of Kalpa. We planned two spots: “Suicide Point” and “Kinner Kailash View Point“.
After discussing within us, we decided to hire a local vehicle for travel today as we do not wanted to stuck in snow in higher regions of Kalpa (with no help). We booked a Mahindra Scorpio in 5000 rupees for full day with the help of hotel staff (which later turned out to be a very good decision).
But first thing to do today was to visit temple in Sarahan. Around 10:00 AM, we reached the temple which was at walking distance from hotel. The place was literally empty due to Covid scare.
This BhimaKali Temple is dedicated to the mother goddess Bhimakali, which was the presiding deity of the rulers of the former Bushahr State. This temple is also one of the 51 Shakti Peethas.
