Nako Village: Attractions, Best time to Visit & Travel tips

Nako Village, located at 3,600 meters on the Indo-Tibetan border in Himachal Pradesh’s Kinnaur District, is a hidden gem surrounded by dense greenery and wildlife. It’s the first village you’ll encounter if you’re traveling from Spiti Valley, and its quietness makes it feel like a peaceful escape from the world.

Foreign tourists need an Inner Line Permit to visit Nako Village due to its location in a restricted area. The permit costs Rs. 400 at Reckong Peo or Rs. 300 at Kaza or Shimla, and it’s valid for 14 days. Indian travelers, however, do not need a permit.

A major attraction here is the beautiful Nako Lake, set against rocky hills. Around the lake, you’ll find four ancient Buddhist monasteries and an interesting footprint-like mark on the rocks, which have been part of local legends for centuries.

Nako is incredibly quiet, especially between 11 am and 3 pm when it almost feels empty. Many travelers stop here on their way to Tabo Village or Dhankar Monastery in Spiti Valley, but it’s worth taking the time to explore.

So If you’re planning a Spiti trip with our Spiti Tour Packages, make sure to add Nako Village to your itinerary for a peaceful Spiti experience.
