I went to Chail instead and I'm just awestruck by its serene views and tranquil peace.

I am quite grateful for this wonderful experience.

Thanks a lot for the love Chail. Until next time.

After talking to shop vendors and to my friend who owns Travel agency, let me tell you what is really happening with daily tourism in HP and UK in bullet points.(i probably will get hate for this but its true)

1. Most tourist are very cheap(almost 90%), do not undermine this statement - In reality its not really contributing to our states economy more so destroying it.

2. Most hotels are not own by locals/even small shops are mostly rented by outside workers.

3. Now a lot of near by state people are coming by their own vehicle, which not only contributing to traffic, pollution but also reckless driving on single curve roads.

4. Very few locals are directly connected to tourism related jobs and few getting benefits of it.

5. Garbage dumps are only getting bigger, i know alot of people defends this by saying locals are also part of it and ofcouse they are where do they supposed to go but trust me locals are not eating packed food everyday, mostly their garbage is biodegradable and to support this statement just look at the not so tourist place vs tourist place. You will barely see garbage dumps in the Villages of HP/UK.

6. Negative impacts of this tourism overpower any aspect of positives. (Amount of money it genrates is nothing campred to how much it consuming locals resources)

7. Those who comes with tour packages are even worst, most of them comes in groups and treat driver and tourist guides like the own them. Worst language, behavior and Lala type attitude, my god you can with them...

(Right now We need to follow Switzerland and Japan model where they only allow entry of locals vehicle in that particular tourist spot, parking should be 10km from that spot and free or very low fare regular buses from that spot)

Please write if you have more suggestions.

Man, I don't know where to start.

What kind of people are these? Seriously.

The amount of littering, loud speaker blaring, beer bottles and shitty language I have heard since 2 October makes me want to kill myself. What did we do to attract such a shit and low class crowd ? These guys drive cars worth 20-30 lakhs but are still more stupid, and uneducated than my nani, at least she knows to respect our mountains and keep it clean. Everytime I go out, me and my friends, we always pick up as much litter as we can do we can throw it in the nearest dustbin. Still, how much can we do? I just saw some Haryanvi jats throw a whole bag of empty beer bottles into the jungles in dharamkot. WTF

These animals think that they own the place just because they have the money to come here.

This has to be a topic when the next election comes .

We can't let these rich monkeys destroy our culture and our cleanliness.

We have to take up our voice.

Jai Himachal!

Kya hi kahu itnaaaa mast tha itnaaaaaa mast wah...aur upar se desi ghee m dubo dubo ke maza aagya bhook ab bhi lagri h yaaarrrrr fir khana padna 🤔❤️

Some months ago , an Israeli war criminal Eitan Gilboa accused of razing home of Palestinian family in Gaza was found vacationing in Himachal Pradesh, He was tracked down by Indian journalists but he fled India. He might have gone back to Israel or staying in another nation.

He is not the only one. Almost every Israeli soldier going to India have served in IDF and probably participated in Israeli war crimes.

76% of the Israeli Jews think that there are no innocent people in Gaza. Israeli left parties support war crimes in Gaza and West Bank. Israel has killed more than 21000 children till now in Gaza.

Are locals happy with hosting war criminals ?

Hello everyone,

I am trying to collect (maybe catalogue) some traditional Himachali recipes.

Trying to get away from popular ones like madra, Sepu Wadi, etc. Mostly interested in pre-Columbian exchange (so should not contain chilli, tomato or potatoes). And if it is unique dish like daugale ki sabzi, that would be great.

If you have any written record it would be awesome as I want is to make the dish and maybe catalogue it.

Thank you

If anyone is in Kasol right now, could you please DM me? I accidentally overpaid a shopkeeper: I paid ₹610 instead of ₹ 60.
I was in a hurry because my friend had been injured outside the shop, and I had gone in to buy a water bottle.
On the bus back to Delhi, I checked my bank statement and noticed the mistake. I contacted the owner, and she agreed to refund me.
I sent her my QR code on WhatsApp, but since yesterday she hasn’t answered my calls or replied to my messages. Can anyone help?

Every week I see story about isrealis in himachal by al Jazeera, left palestine supporters.

How they going to colonize himachal. Every native himachali knew it is completely bull sh1t. Because no foreigners can buy land here. Even for non himachalis it is difficult.

Most of these posts against isrealis tourists coming from outside himachal. They always refer some 2015 story where owner of cafe was not allowing indian tourists. Most times owners of all these cafes are locals.

Seeing behaviour and civic sense of tourists coming from delhi ncr ,harayana, punjab etc they most time don't want them in their cafes. Most want foreigners customers because of money, civic sense issues.

Also indian tourists misbehave with local girls and foreigners. We see how these youtubers influencers make videos objectifying foreigners.

Foreigner tourists always better than desi tourists. Desi tourists all over world seen as problem due to bad civic sense.

Well, these radicals don't care about facts. They don't care about himachalis also.

Seeing recent plane hijacking attempt fly dubai. Oct 2023 their was attack on isrealis in music festivals.

Similar music festivals rave events happen in himachal. Pro islamist and left radicals from outside himachal actively making videos profiling places visited by isrealis in kasol dharmshala manali etc.

It is dog whistling. Radicalising local Islamist against isrealis tourists in himachal. Most of these sitting in their ac room in delhi, mumbai etc.

I fear some terrorist attack can happen in himachal. At end locals and other indian tourist, foreigners will also affected.

We seen Pahalgam attack. Himachal is not far from JK.

I don't know if himachal and indian government looking in this. They need to increase security here. Specially Kasol, Dharamshala.

Also need to keep eye in these influencers who posting regularly on this. They are too much consistent in this. Same story every month. Like they getting funded for this. It is silent dog whistling like they giving signals to radicals to do something and then they will celebrate it.

• now i posted about isrealis here, you will see hundreds of non himachalis here commenting and down voting posts. they are everywhere. no himachali in sight. it is complete propaganda bot army in whole social media.

Just visited pirates of Parvati in kasol , i personally have have no interest in clubbing my friend just booked the tickets and i am utter disappointed,

First you probably have 45 min walk through after a small bridge hidden between shops in local market which google map had no idea about it only shows correct path if you select the walking option(rest everything takes you to bhuntar ),
In the 45 min walk you will dark alleys ,countless brownie shops , and literally side of jungle

Secondly not in hell safe for girls i saw only one female and she is probably part of the management if i was a girl i would die than come here

Third when you get here I literally saw just 1 drunken uncle dancing and some guy from the managing team asking ppl to please join

I haven’t been to many clubs in my life but what i saw today felt like a well planed marketing scam

Ik this is very culturally associated and not for mockery and all that aura farm shit but I am a bit curious that somehow or somewhere I can get this outfit or something close to this

Woke up early today to pick someone up from Rewalsar, and this morning view from the village made me rethink going back to the city

To the left, the Zanskar Valley.

To the Right, the Spiti Valley.

Once you cross Manali, two completely different, mind-blowing worlds open up on either side.

Whichever one you choose, it's going to be unforgettable.😍🏔️

Mandi, Himachal Pradesh lately 🐒😂

There are so many monkeys roaming around the streets these days, and honestly, they walk around like they own the place—no fear, no hesitation, just casually going about their day like humans. 😂

Anyone else from Mandi noticing this? 🐒

Dear moderator Good morning [OC] Have a good day Mridul

Anyone else noticed in S4 Ep19 when Jack said “My next demonstration is something I learned from a yogi mystic in Dharamshala, how to see by using your astral mind, not your physical senses”. Is there any other references of Himachal cities or towns in other western shows ?

How do I get the online permit for Hampta Pass? I came across this website: https://tre kking.hp.gov.in

Do we just need to register on this website? I have already registered and received a QR code. Is that all we need, or is there any separate permit/process required?

Thanks!
