Chitkool, On The Edge (2011)

Chitkul, in Kinnaur Valley is just 80 km from theborder; it is the perfect fruit and nut village, if ever there was one. Sitting astride the gurgling Baspa river, Chitkul groans under the weight of apricots, almonds, apples, cherry, chilgoza, walnuts and other assorted hill fruits and nuts. We stay the night on the banks of the Baspa and have our fill of the fruits plucked right off the boughs. Next day, we retrace our way back along the Baspa until Karcham-Wangtoo to get back to the Sutlej Basin.
