Kinnaur - still a far away country for trekkers
Not much trekkers visit and accept challenge as Kinnaur is not that popular. But I have read and seen some images of Kinner Kailash Circuit and can guess that it is challenging trail and should be taken seriously. Mostof the tourist knows about Kinnaur for Sangla valley only and they come back after visiting SANGLA and CHITKUL.
