The edge of the map. Where the road ends and the border begins.
Himachal Pradesh
Last village on Indo-Tibet border via Kinnaur. The road literally ends here.

Mana village near Badrinath — last village on Indo-China border via Uttarakhand. Vyas Gufa, Saraswati river origin.
Milam village beyond Munsiyari — last inhabited settlement before the Tibetan plateau in Kumaon.
Jammu & Kashmir
Dawar and surrounding hamlets — last villages before the LoC. Army checkpoints, zero tourism infrastructure.
