This is the scenic place, where we can get a really close and splendid view of the 'Snow Mountains'. The Monk Retreat at Kalpa is specially recommended because of the location. You can clearly see, on reaching Kalpa, that it is the last outpost and at the outermost edge of Village. This is just before the mountain side plunges to... More

Had a amazing time staying in "The Monk", Kalpa. The approach road to kalpa from Simla is really bad after Rampur. Had really bad back problems reaching to Kalpa. BUT after reaching the location.... its worth it. Facing the Kinner Kailash mountains, the resorts is really a heaven experience. Basic in comforts, but best of view and location. We (me... More

The view was mesmerizing and the service was wonderful. Best Experience: Madan Rawat took extremely good care of us and was very courteous & polite. He is a great asset to the... More

We stayed in the outdoor tents area with awesome service by the attendant Rawat who cooked delicious food from simple ingredients. A storm and issues with not having inner-line permit prevented us from going further into Lahaul and Spiti valley, but our continued stay at Monk, Kalpa more than made up for it. Mr. Gopal Negi helped me with my... More

We, two families of Amritsar University Teachers, on way to Tabo, Kaza and Kie Monasteries, stayed at The Monk at Kalpa, because we could not manage booking in the HPTDC Hotel, which we got on the return journey. But we missed The Monk - its location, its view, and its willing service. Although, they could do with some additional staff,... More
