Julley Everyone,
I hope all of you are doing well as here it was a beautiful wonderful day here in the Himalayas when I decided to do something different rather than just climbing a mountain or exploring hidden place I thought why not ! Something that goes towards the culture and the ancient architecture which was here in the Himalayas from the Past hundred and thousand years ago.
Though with time as it passes by does the culture of a place too but I finally decided to go a bit off beat in a location and in ancient village of Himalayas around Manali which I was successful in discovering such a hidden peaceful place here in the Himalayas where I found these ancient Katth kuni architecture emerged in houses.
In this blog post I will be taking you on a journey when I tried a bit hard hiked a lot and finally found such peaceful places on earth that I wanted to share it with you guys through this post!
So guys the journey begins something just like this as hair I got to know about this hidden Village somewhat around 14 km is before Manali and around 5 kms in the deep valley somewhere closer to Hallan mountain. I found this village which was beyond Baragran village called Sokhni Village
Only very few people knew about this place so did I as I got to know about this place by doing a bit of research and finding the ancient places that still has the ancient himalayan culture in practice even though no one lives in these houses but I finally made it out to just explore and wonder around the ancient himalayan culture.
All of the people I don't know why instead of leaving peace just came closer to the main highway and started living in the newly constructing houses rather than just forgetting about their roots in which I will be taking you to a journey with me through this post.
It was around 11 AM in the morning when I finally reached at this particular spot where I found this single house constructed in the ancient structure and mainly are just constructed of rocks, woods and mud that's it and it's constructed in the most peaceful paradise like location. The isolated house I would say in the Earth with such magical views.
Just imagine guys waking up to such a view and in such a beautiful house which was built by hands no machines at all each and every single family member had their contribution in construction of such a beautiful masterpiece that is still in shape even after more than 300 years I would say roughly it could even be more older than that.
The balcony of the house looked something just like this as it was protruding right in front of the wall and it provided a beautiful wonderful spot to sit and relax.
We could easily figure out the construction of the materials and the way how these houses were built. You could easily see all of the materials that constructed this house right from each and every single particle, we could see the wood as the mud has been fallen off as per the time. Still I think it required a bit of a plastering of mud rest this house was all in a good shape.
There were these beautiful views of Jodo peak which could be seen right in front of this particular spot even this Mountain Peak was really very less known to all of the people as I got to know about when I was this at particular moment I searched about the mountain peaks which were visible right in front of me.
Guys I tried going closer to the house and tried capturing each and every single beauty of it as the balcony looked something just like this.
After getting closer to the house I found out another house just built by the side of it, it was a bit smaller as compare to the other one but this will look more prettier to me as it was a single story house and the entrance was just right through the middle.
Another thing that amazed me when I saw this particular house was its staircase it was completely just a single piece of wood through which there were holes constructed by hands and the steps were made.
It was really a wonderful masterpiece guys as you guys can see in this picture that I tried to capture it on my mobile phone so that even you guys could get to know about clear vision and clear picture about the same.
Guys I have tried capturing all of the pictures in different angles so that even you guys could experience the beauty and this masterpiece ancient artworks that still lies strong here in the Himalayas and the most isolated houses in the mountains.
I stayed at the place quite a while and when I was relaxing over here I was thinking that I could spend my rest of the life here living in such a natural house built of rocks and stones and the mud rather than the concrete and house which is totally smart enough with all the functionality that we call Smart home rather than just living in a real house that we call living peacefully here in the mountains was something that I always wished off!!
Guys after staying at that particular moment for quite a while when I came closer to the village I saw that slowly and slowly when I was getting down the houses were getting modern and modern, This house was not that much modern but it had a bit of vibe of the ancient house that I came across just at the moment.
Views from here were truly insane they were really very beautiful and pretty views. Whole place had a lot of vibe and peacefulness in the air and breeze as right from here we could see the snowcapped mountains filled up with snow. Just imagine guys waking up to such a beautiful view it was something that truly was amazing.
I was coming down closer to the village I saw this tiny little spot maybe a pathway to an underground house when I tried looking inside I saw the deep portion was not able to find out that what was this, but I could see water flowing inside maybe it was a water tank and it was an entrance to the water tank which used to be in the ancient times.
After walking for quite awhile I finally figured out that it was the spring water portions that were used in the ancient times in order to collect the water which was the natural spring water.
So guys that's all for today I hope you liked it.
Thanks for your precious time. 🙏
Love from the Himalayas.❤️
