Things to Do questions
Do I need a permit to visit Chitkul?
Indian and foreign visitors can generally reach Chitkul itself without an Inner Line Permit. Areas beyond the village toward the frontier are restricted and off-limits. We confirm the current position before travel, as border-area rules can change.
How cold does it get, and is it safe at altitude?
Nights are cold even in summer and freezing in the shoulder seasons, so warm layers are essential. At around 3,450 m, mild altitude effects are possible; we acclimatise gradually via Sangla and keep the pace gentle.
Can I visit Chitkul in winter?
Usually not by road, heavy snow typically closes the upper Baspa route from around November to April and the village largely empties. We plan Chitkul for the May to October window and buffer for weather.
