It is placed at a jaw-dropping height of 8500 ft. It is a village that practically utilises the mother nature to its limits and gives it back in the same amount as taken. As you can find chairs and tables made here by rough wood instead of the normal plywood and people also take care of mother nature here as their own mother!

This village is covered by paddy fields all around it and it also has the sweet scent that is released by wet mud after the first rain falls on it. It is a truly magical place.

It is a place where you can literally feel that the earth is not a sphere in shape, as this place shows you so many cliffhangers that it will defy your knowledge itself.
