India’s Last Village Chitkul – Migrant Musings & Co.

INDIA'S LAST VILLAGE: CHITKUL (WITH SANGLA!)

Dates: April 17th - 21st

SNEAK PEAK

The Chitkul expedition is for the travellers who like to go a notch above, who leave the regular routes for the road less taken. We’re taking you to Narkanda, Chitkul and Sangla! First at Narkanda the Hatu Peak awaits. At 3,400m the trek offers you the sight of a panoramic Himalayan mountain range right before your eyes! (Optional: 4 x 4 jeep ride). Let’s get adventurous, let’s crack jokes, let’s make memories as we head to the top together.

Then we’ll proceed to Chitkul – known as India’s last village! Just our arrival itself at the Himachali town will greet you with massive mountains enveloping you in between. To add to the prettiness and rustic charm there’s the blue green river, the pine trees, the wooden huts where the locals live and of course, “Hindustan ka aankhri dhaba”! We’ll even visit Sangla which is tucked in Baspa Valley with meadows and a 1,000 year old fort in distinctive Himachali architecture.

This trip is for the mythical tales, for the views of tall towering peaks, for the sounds of the river, for uniting with the simple pleasures of life, for road trips and for doing it all with a new gang of friends you’ll make along the way 😀

Visit, Kamru Fort – a short hike brings us to this 1,000 year old structure made of wood and stone. The peace here will tug at your inner self. Evening, back to Chitkul for madness and laughter with the ganggg! O/N Chitkul

Day 4, Sunday: April 21st, Sunday: We believe in making last days memorable. Dip your feet in the Baspa river, let your heart have quiet talks as you watch the peaks, eat at India’s “Aankhri Dhaba!”.
