Snow Drive To Chitkul
Blue sky, clouds hanging overs the snowy towering peaks of Kinnaur-Garhwal Himalayan ranges, and surreal excitement of discovering the last village on Indo-Tibetan border – driving on snow covered Sangla-Chitkul road in winters leaves one startled and pleasantly surprised.
On day 4, after exploring Sangla and surrounding places, we’ll head towards the last frontier village, Chitkul. After driving for about 20kms, we’ll get to see the first glimpses of Chitkul village. The whole Baspa valley usually receives heavy snowfall during the winter season. The snow clearing operation is carried out by local administration and ITBP personnel of Mastrang camp. During long continuous days of snowfall, it takes a few days to clear snow from the road and to resume road connectivity. The drive to Chitkul may not be doable under such circumstances.
Chitkul greets one with soft sounds of gurgling water and Buddhist flags fluttering in the air. The shops, hotels and home stays get closed there during the harsh winter season. Some places worth visiting in Chitkul are Mathi temple, Chitkul fort, bridge over Baspa River and Nagasti ITBP camp.
