Industrialist Anand Mahindra is known for his love of travel, culture, and offbeat places across India. Recently, he shared a photo of Chitkul — a small village in Himachal Pradesh — calling it “a place that makes you pause and reflect.” The post quickly went viral, and it’s easy to see why.

Chitkul is often referred to as “India’s last village” near the Indo-Tibetan border in the Kinnaur district. It sits at an altitude of over 11,000 feet and offers postcard-like views of the snow-covered Himalayas, wooden houses, and peaceful trails. The village lies along the banks of the Baspa River, where the scenery is so serene that even photographs struggle to do justice.

Mahindra’s post featured a striking photo — snow-capped peaks, sunlight spilling over rooftops, and a ribbon of a path winding through the quiet village. His caption praised not only the beauty of the landscape but the calm it evokes — something many of us crave in our fast-paced lives.

What’s special about Chitkul is how untouched it feels. There are no luxury hotels, no packed tourist spots, and no traffic jams. It’s a place where mobile networks fade, and time slows down. Whether you’re a traveler seeking solitude, a trekker aiming for new trails, or someone who simply wants a digital detox — Chitkul offers a rare kind of stillness.

Thanks to Anand Mahindra’s post, more people are now discovering this peaceful Himalayan gem.
