Kinnaur, The tribal District of Himachal Pradesh, has houses built of local architecture and the scenic beauty added to it by snow ranges and flowing Sutlej and its tributaries makes it one of the Districts high on the list of visitor to the State. Closer to the border with Tibet, foreigners have to register their entry into the district that is done immediately.
Apple, apricot, walnut orchards around picturesque hamlets are eye catchers. Chilgoza or Neoza, kernal of Pine, is the dry fruit linked with Kinnaur. To be eaten raw or baked, it is a rewarding time-pass.
Both Hinduism and Buddhism are practiced here and every village has its own village diety. The national highway completed in 1960's is the life-line of Kinnaur because it joins with Shimla.
