Chitkul, 250 km from Shimla, is the last inhabited village before the India-Tibet border in the Baspa valley of Kinnaur. At 3,450 m, it is surrounded by the Kinnaur Kailash range and the Baspa river. The route follows NH-5 to Rampur, then the Sangla–Chitkul road through the Baspa valley. Chitkul has traditional Kinnauri wooden-stone houses, the Kagyupa Temple, and is famous for having the cleanest air in India (per a 2018 study).
The road beyond Sangla is narrow and unpaved in sections. An SUV or Innova is recommended. The route is open from April/May to October. Indian citizens need to register at the ITBP check-post; foreign nationals need an Inner Line Permit.
