City Map of Kinnaur - Himachal Pradesh
The delightfully pleasant District of Kinnaur is located on the Indo Tibetan border, surrounded by Tibet to the east, and the Garhwal Himalyan to the south.
Famous for being the land of fairy tales and fantasies, Kinnaur was a part of the Rampur Bushar state which ruled the area for a long time. It was first known as the Chini Tehsil of Mahasu, and later became a district along with the development of the state of Himachal Pradesh in 1960.
About 200 km from Shimla is the strikingly beautiful Kinnaur where the River Satluj carves deep gorges through the high mountains. The drive is picturesque and the lush greens that dot the horizon and the constant change of the topography are absolutely fascinating.
