A Trip to Parvati Valley - Kasol | Tosh

Image
  This is Why I Love Kasol Kasol is an interesting little town in Himachal arranged along the banks of the waterway Parvati. Regularly known as the 'Amsterdam of India', Kasol is a vacation destination that is quickly acquiring notoriety as a famous center point for adventurers, explorers, and nature darlings. Kasol is arranged 23 kms from Bhuntar and close to the strict town of Manikaran and is perhaps the best spot in the nation just to pause for a moment and chill in the scene of snow-clad mountains, pine trees and murmuring stream.  Kasol is popular for its traveling trails, which incorporate trips to Kheerganga, Yanker Pass, Sar Pass, and Pin Parbati Pass. To get a genuine vibe of the way of life around here, go on a visit to the town of Malana. Found a couple of kilometers from Kasol, Malana is a small villa possessed by individuals living in self inflicted disengagement.

I'd say I love living on the heights(who doesn't). I have been staying in the plains for past 3-4 years. Pandemic hit and I got to reconnect with my birth place. HOW MOUNTAINS SPEAK TO ME? Life is not like an endless plain with no ups and downs. There are happy times and sad times, and there is one God above all. To live in harmony and peace, you do not need to have a big bank balance. (Don't be proud of your money as it will never satisfy you) The smile of a village child simply playing with sticks and stones, The joy and happiness reflected from their faces is truly beautiful. PROS AND CONS OF LIVING IN MOUNTAINS Sometimes I feel so privileged to have that new gadget in my han

Apple Progressive Farming

APPLE PRODUCTION IN HIMACHAL PRADESH I am sitting under an Apple tree in my orchard looking at the crispy red fruits hanging up there. It's late June and the Apple season is around the corner in Himachal Pradesh. A time when Apple cultivators harvest their crops and fill their pockets after a full year of hard work.  Apple production is one of the main and growing traditional businesses in many parts of the elevated state. Shimla accounts for the highest cultivated area followed by district Kinnaur, Kullu, and Mandi. Around 80 percent of Himachal Pradesh's fruit economy comes from Apple. INCEPTION ON APPLE CULTIVATION IN HIMACHAL PRADESH Apple cultivation in Himachal Pradesh is attributed to the colonial legacy like many other things in Shimla. In the late 1880s, a few Apple trees were planted by the British in Mashobra , a village 10kms away from Shimla, then the summer capital of British India. Later on an American missionary named Samuel Evans Stokes , introduced commercial
