Chitkul is famous for its wooden houses with slate roofs and fertile lands dotted with orchards and crops, lending it a serene beauty. This region experiences heavy snowfall, causing it to remain cut off during winter. The village is part of the Baspa Valley, also known as the Sangla Valley, and is renowned for its picturesque landscape and apple orchards. It's a perfect retreat for travelers seeking tranquility away from the bustling city life. The Kagyupa Temple, with its unique architecture and divine aura is a spiritual highlight.
