Overview

A gem of a discovery and an undiscovered tourist spot, Kinnaur Valley is considered one of the smallest districts in our country, population-wise. The forbidden place is a treasure for adventure junkies as it connects India and Tibet very closely. The road trips to Kinnaur valley are breathtaking, covering snow-clad mountains and gushing rivers. Being at a higher altitude, you can witness points covered in snow during the year. The main attraction of Kinnaur Valley is the Kinnar Kailash Mountain, a holy lord Shiva mountain close to the Tibetan border. A fun trivia says that Kinnaur valley has the cleanest air in the country. So if you are looking for fresh air and want to escape from city pollution, Kinnaur Valley is your perfect gateway.

Travelers can visit the Sangla valley with its vast fruit orchards, calm and beautiful Kalpa on the Sutlej river, Nako Village (land of fairy tales), and Chitkul, which is the last village of India. Winters are long in the Kinnaur Valley, and several roads are closed at that time as it is dangerous owing to thick snow and extreme weather conditions. The best time to visit would be in early winter and summer. Owing to a higher elevation, Kinnaur Valley is a delightful and picturesque vacation spot to be seen once in a lifetime.
