Punchmukhi Mahadev Temple and Raata Bugiyal : (Altitude 2800mtrs. 5kms round trip)

Now it is re-built somewhat differently, and features a 19th c. statue of lord Shiva and Parvati, which is carved from the solid native rock which existed always on-site, and is therefore immovable. It is surrounded by charming nature - an apple orchard with spectacular views of Harsil village, and the magnificent Ganga Valley. Here is a clean and tranquil spot for meditation. The trek continues towards Raata, gradually uphill for about 1km through apple orchards, fields, and a forest of deodar to arrive in Raata. Here are beautiful alpine meadows surrounded by forests and spectacular views of many unnamed mountains of the high Himalayas near the Tibet border - a gorgeous landscape. The downhill trek home follows a different route.

Here is the only village in the Harsil Valley which has not been destroyed by fire. Dharali village, all of wooden houses, burned three times, due to people storing dry grass winter food for their animals. Any little mistake would cause a disastrous fire. It was same story for the all the surrounding villages. Mukhva village is called "Mother village of Ganga Bhagirathi" as every year Gangotri temple closes for the winter season on the day of Deewali - the famous Hindu festival, when Gangotri's sacred statue is moved to Mukva for winter worship.

Trek to Bagori Tribal village : (Altitude 2450mtrs. 6kms round trip)

This village, established here in 1962 after the war with China, is a "Jad community". These people used to inhabit the Nelong Valley in their village, Jadung, close to Tibet China border. They are not Tibetien, but, before 1962, along with local people from Harsil Valley, they traded with the Tibetian people. Since that time, the Indian Government migrated them to Harsil village, and their Jadung village was occupied by Indian Army - all trade being closed off with Tibet. Their communities are famous for their woolen cloth, because the folks were all shepherds. Also they make a powerful local wine as source of income. As designated "Tribal People" they receive a reservation from the Government of India for jobs and education. Now more than 60% have good jobs and modern life style, and have moved away from this village, But still some poorer people remain, doing their tradition work. They follow both the Hindu and Budhist religions - and visiting them is quite interesting.
