Reckong Peo, often referred to as Peo by the locals, serves as the headquarters of the Kinnaur district in Himachal Pradesh, India. Situated at an altitude of 2,290 meters above sea level, this town offers breathtaking views of the Kinnaur Kailash mountain range, a sacred peak in Hindu mythology that's said to be the winter home of Lord Shiva. Kinnaur's rich cultural heritage is reflected in Reckong Peo's temples, language, attire, and festivals. The town is a confluence of Buddhism and Hinduism, with influences visible in the local architecture and religious practices. Visitors can explore apple orchards or take part in treks and other outdoor activities. Despite its remote location, Reckong Peo is well-connected by road and is a gateway to other tourist spots in Kinnaur like Kalpa, Sangla Valley, and Chitkul. Reckong Peo also acts as the commercial and cultural center for the region with local markets offering handwoven shawls, Kinnauri caps, and other handicrafts.
