To catch the full 4-day Faguli Festival, the ideal arrival in the valley is March 1st or 2nd, 2026. Our package is designed to get you there on the morning of the festivities so you don't miss the main "mask dance" and color play.
No. Unlike the commercial Holi parties in cities, Sangla Holi is a deeply spiritual and cultural event. It involves traditional Kinnauri music (Drums and Bugles), folk dances (Nati), and rituals at the Bering Nag Temple. It is an immersive experience, not a loud DJ party.
There is a very high probability! Sangla and Chitkul often receive fresh snowfall in late February and early March. Be prepared for a "White Holi" where colors are played against a snowy landscape.
The temperature can drop to -5°C at night. You must carry:
Heavy down jackets and thermals.
Waterproof trekking shoes (essential for snow).
An old set of clothes for Holi (dry colors may stain).
Woolen caps, gloves, and at least 3 pairs of socks.
Absolutely. Sangla is known for its exceptionally warm and respectful local community. Our group tours are led by experienced Trip Captains who ensure a safe, inclusive, and comfortable environment for everyone.
Network: Only Airtel and BSNL work reliably. Expect Jio and others to have limited or no service.
Cash: While there is an ATM in Sangla, it often runs out of cash during festivals. We strongly recommend carrying enough cash from Shimla or Rampur.
Himalayan weather is unpredictable. If heavy snow blocks the road to Chitkul or Sangla, our Trip Lead will modify the itinerary to the nearest safe scenic point (like Kalpa or Reckong Peo). Your safety is our #1 priority.
Totu: A sacred prasad made of roasted barley flour and buttermilk distributed during the festival.
Phasur: A traditional local beverage shared by the community during the fair.
Experience Holi Like Never Before — In the Heart of the Himalayas
Sangla Holi isn’t just another colour festival — it’s a deeply rooted cultural celebration set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Baspa Valley in Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh. This Holi is part of the traditional Faguli Festival, a multi-day community ritual that blends music, folklore, local customs, and spiritual observance with colour play.
Unlike urban Holi events focused on loud DJs and commercial parties, Sangla presents a soulful and authentic experience where travellers can participate respectfully with locals, enjoy organic colours, and witness vibrant folk dances and music that represent centuries-old Himalayan traditions.
Here, the festival unfolds gradually over several days — beginning with traditional prayers at local temples and culminating in the main celebration where villagers and visitors play Holi with organic, eco-friendly colours made from natural ingredients.
You’ll discover that Holi in Sangla is:
Community-driven — focused on togetherness, shared meals, and traditional rituals rather than loud entertainment.
Respectful and spiritual — often beginning in temple grounds with blessings before colour festivities.
Colourful yet meaningful — the colours symbolise blessings and renewal rather than chaos.
Sangla Valley’s dramatic landscapes — snow-capped peaks, Baspa River, terraced orchards, and charming Kinnauri villages — make this Holi celebration not just an event but a complete Himalayan travel experience.
Expect:
Holi in Sangla typically falls in late February to early March during early spring, when the weather transitions from chilly mountain days to mild afternoons — perfect for daytime celebrations and cool nights by the fire.
During this period:
Respect local customs: Temple spaces and religious ceremonies are sacred — always follow guidance from your tour guide and locals.
Dress for the weather: Layered clothing is essential; evenings can be cold even in March.
Photography etiquette: Ask permission before photographing individuals during cultural rituals.
Eco-friendly participation: Use organic colours only to protect local soil and water bodies.
This package is ideal for:
Culture lovers wanting a meaningful Holi beyond mainstream party scenes
Nature lovers seeking dramatic Himalayan landscapes
Small groups and families (local celebrations are safe and welcoming)
Photographers looking for vibrant traditions and scenic beauty
By combining festival immersion, cultural depth, breathtaking views, and curated travel support, this Sangla Holi package delivers an experience that’s both enriching and unforgettable — far beyond a regular holiday getaway.
Weather: Extremely cold (down to -5°C). Mandatory: Carry heavy woollens and waterproof shoes.
Holi Policy: We use Organic Dry Colours only. Chemicals and water balloons are strictly prohibited.
Connectivity: Only Airtel & BSNL work reliably. Be prepared fora limited mobile network.
Cash: Carry enough cash from Shimla/Rampur. ATMs in the valley are often out of service.
