Why to visit Take a Walk in Nako Village
Nako village is located on the Indo-Tibetan border, 360 metres above sea level, in the Kinnaur District of Himachal Pradesh's Himalayan range. Nako Village is the final stop on the way to the famous Nalling Mullah and serves as a rest stop for tourists on their way there.
Because Nako is so close to the Tibetan border, visitors must have an Inner Line permit to enter and stay in any part of this remote village. Because of the small size of this beautiful remote village, all of the major attractions can be explored on foot.
That's why it is recommended to take a walk in the village as all of the places can be explored without any help of the vehicles.

- Chitkul: Chitkul is the last place where tourists can go without a permit.
