When I get asked about my favorite hill station, my answer always is Chitkul. It has been over a decade since I first visited here and since then it has remained on top of my \u201cmost scenic places\u201d list. This\u00a0 tiny hamlet hidden in the remote hills of Himalayas looks like a picture straight out of a painting. Surrounded by hills from three sides; a road leading up to it and then ending at the village; a river flowing down from up the mountains with sun rising in the backdrop; yes that is Chitkul for you. A place that you used to see in paintings and wallpapers and then suddenly arrived there yourself.<\/p>\n
Chitkul is blessed with natural beauty and that is its primary attraction. The entire route from Karcham to Chitkul takes you through a paradisiacal landscape and you will find it hard to not stop at every turn and click hundreds of pictures. The road ends at Chitkul, making it the last village on the border. After that, it is just the mighty mountains in front of you and beyond that, Tibet.<\/p>\n
Chitkul usually gets included in the itinerary by people who are out traveling on the Spiti circuit<\/a><\/strong>; or covering the entire Kinnaur Valley<\/a><\/strong>. But if you have a few days in hand and wanted to visit a scenic but lesser-known destination then Chitkul would perfectly serve the purpose. How you can plan your journey here is what I will provide details on in this article.<\/p>\n
