- The old Hindustan-Tibet road passes through the Kinnaur valley along the bank of river Sutlej and finally enters Tibet at Shipki La Pass.
- Kinnaur is one of the smallest districts in India by population. It is famous for the Kinnaur Kailash, a mountain sacred to Hindus, close to the Tibetan border.
- The staple food is wheat, ogla, phafra and barley which are local produce. Besides these kankani, cheena, maize, chollair and bathu are also taken.
- Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism are the main religions in the district, although Bön is also practised.
- Here is also the Beautiful Nako lake and three famous wild life sanctuaries.
