Chhitkul, a serene village in Himachal Pradesh's Kinnaur district, is the last inhabited settlement near the Indo-Tibetan border, perched at 11,320 feet above sea level.
Untouched by commercialization, it's an ideal escape for nature lovers seeking peace and raw beauty. Surrounded by snow-covered peaks, pine forests, and the Baspa River, Chhitkul offers a mix of natural charm and cultural depth.
The village lies beneath the majestic Kinner Kailash, with scenic wooden homes and apple orchards enhancing its appeal.
Chhitkul is also a haven for adventure enthusiasts. Popular treks include the short 4 km trail to Nagashi ITBP post and the longer 10 km route to Ranikanda Meadows, extending toward Lamkhaga Pass.
