MALANA-civilization untouched by normal men

MALANA-a small village in the himachal which is a part of india but doesnt follow the indian governing laws........
Hey this is something interesting.when i was travelling in manali,i happened to go to this interesting village called MALANA...........it was a two day trek from a beautiful place called nagar.me and an israeli girl started the trek by ourselves without hiring a guide.i just made friends with a villager who drew the directions in a paper and we were set for this two day tough trek with that.

we started off by getting a lift from some local transport vehicle carrying wood.we were sitting on the logs at the back.they dropped us at the starting point of the trail path.we started walking along the apple and pear archids.occationaly we would pluck an apple or the local fruit called pitu.

We started in the by 3 in the afternoon and wnt on like that till nite 9 .thats when we realise both of us were lost and we dont have a tent to stay or food.
trust me it was damn scary inside the forest with wolfs howling and stuff.
after searching for an hour we saw a small light at adistance.
wow a tent and there were two locals in there.
they gave us food and we stayed in the tent for the nite.



the next morning we got up and saw the view from near the tent.that when i decided though in life i am on the "highway to hell",i am already on this heaven for now .u see the photo and decide for ur self.


"i would prefer if heaven were like this"












then we started treking throuh this steep climb for a few hours ,we reached the great chandrakani pass.
then there was this steep valley we need to climb down to reach malana.
finally we reached malana in the evening after my friend had some struggle with the downclimb and stuff.
wow malana what a weird village........
u r not supposed to touch either the villagers or anything including houses in that village.
sounds weird ...but thats how it is.they have the worlds oldest democracy......true.their own govening system.
they call themselves the descendents of the troups of alexander and hence they consider themselves equivalent to god.so no outsider can go near or touch or shake hands with them.
they have two houses outside the village where travellers should stay.yes no outsider is allowed to stay in the village.
the people of malana look kinda like the greeks(their face )check the photos if u dont believe me......



kids in malana.....










whatever said its definitely a place worth a visit.........its a weird place and a different experience for me.i can talk about it for hours.but i am kindof lazy to type down everything........




the valley we need to cross to reach malana.
