Shakti Maror trek of GHNP

View of Raktiser area from Gugnadhar

Shakti and Maror are the remotest villages of Kullu District . Shakti is around 17 km and Maror about 24 km from road head . Due to their isolation a distinct culture has been developed in the area . Devta ( Local deity ) is very powerful and govern almost all the aspects of local people's life.

Entire 17 km trek from Niharni to Shakti passes through dense forest along the Sainj river ( Great Himalayan National Park and Sainj Wildlife Sanctuary )

Area is also heaven for bird watchers , we recorded more than 40 bird species along the trek .

Dhale peak in Rainbow ....

Different kinds of Rainbow - During my recent tour of Sainj valley, I met with an old lady of about 100 years old . But she was full of life with any physical inability. She was like a lively rainbow full of colors . It reminds me that a true rainbow is not in the sky , it is in your heart , share it with others and it will burst with vivid colours in the sky.

Shangarh area of Sainj Valley .....

Recently I visited Shangarh village of Sainj Valley . At present this place is not connected with proper road ( there is one forest road but it is very risky ) and after trekking 7-8 km when one reaches at Shangarh a spectacular view of nature awaits him .
