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.
