Chitkul

A small yet impressive village located near the town of Sarahan in Himachal Pradesh, Chitkul is famous for its gorgeous panoramic view in the backdrop of the snow-decked mountain ranges. Dubbed as the Apple Orchards, Chitkul is the final point in India, up to where you can travel without a permit. The tiny settlement of Chitkul has numerous attractions. Tourists generally visit the Kagayupa Temple the most. Here, the Shakyamuni Buddha statue and four Directional Kings on other side of the door astound visitors. One of the most interesting elements in the temple is the ‘Wheel of Life Mandala’ that defines the stages humans have to undergo in their life. The Kumru Village, located close to Chitkul village is a famous nearby sightseeing option here. The enthralling settlement is environed by orchards and fields. Other than this village, the lovely valley of Sangla is the finest nearby attraction.
