The evenings are colder, and so we will return to our homestay by sunset. After dinner, rest for the night and gear up for the trek that follows the next day.

After breakfast, we start to the last inhabited village of India – Chitkul, which is 215 km from Jibhi. We will finally reach the magical Chitkul. Snow-clad mountains, green-red apple orchards, deodar trees, and the gurgling Baspa river contribute to the beauty. 

Mathi Temple and Chitkul Fort are sightseeing locations and of religious and historical significance. Take a halt at India’s Akhiri Dhaba in Chitkul and sprawl through the beautiful Sangla Valley.
