Chitkul is a village in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. It is the last inhabited village near the Indo-China border. The Indian road ends here.It is the last Indian village bordering Tibet. This village is situated on the right of the river Baspa. A short 1.5km walk from Chitkul is Nagasti which is the last civilian point on the Tibet border. the place mostly remains covered with the snow and the inhabitants move to lower regions of Himachal pradesh. Beyond this, habitation is almost close to nil. Being a remote area has preserved the virginity and spectacular beauty of this place where you can travel without permit. Of particular interest at Chitkul are its houses with either slate or wooden plank roofs.
