In a bid to promote tourism in the hill State, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Tuesday (June 10, 2025) launched border tourism activities at Shipki-La, a motorable mountain pass situated at an altitude of 3,930 meters, bordering India and China in tribal district of Kinnaur.
“We have eased restrictions for the tourists to enjoy the beauty of Shipki-La and the tourism activities here would strengthen the economy of the local people along with boosting tourism in the region. The State government had requested the Ministry of Defence to grant permission for starting tourism activities in the border areas of Lepcha, Shipki-La, Giu and Rani Kanda. After the approval for the same, the border tourism initiative has been launched,” he said, addressing a public gathering.
