INTRODUCING A BEAUTIFUL PLACE- CHURAH (HP)

As a part of the course offered by Professor Anil Gupta with Prof. Navdeep Mathur at IIM Ahmadabad named as Shodh Yatra, some of the PGP2s along with 2 FPM students visited one of the remotest places of Himachal Pradesh(Aug 27-Sept 3, 2018). This was Churah Valley in Chamba. 
More than one of the beautiful places of Himachal, it was a different experience altogether for me there. It was not just the natural beauty that inspired me but the inner beauty of people there touched my heart. The innocence, the respect and love they had for all of us made me question our own living styles in the cities with all the amenities.
The 4 teachers that our professor described in the course were actually my real companion to understand the deeper aspects of life and our larger goal to be a part of this beautiful world.
There were many learning from the course and from one of the most amazing unexplored places to visit (Churah Valley).
The local traditional music, their dance forms, the variety of food they eat and the clothing they have, talented kids(Ideation sessions we did in schools there) along with the medical natural treatments they cure their problems with (Local vaid) were all very amazing to know.  But above all this, the place had many unattended problems/hardships that people face over the years like access to proper medical services, different types or varieties of food we have in cities, transportation roads(not well built, risk of landslides) etc. These issues made me realize the importance of various resources we have access to and they do not. I feel luckier to have a more resourceful life, but I am sure that the people in Churah are rather more lucky than anyone of us to wake up every morning with a beautiful weather with bunch of majestic beautiful mountains surrounding them!

A place with beautiful beings
A place with rich biodiversity
A place with Majestic Mountains
A place with profound Serenity
A place like heaven
Makes you feel YOU
Makes you Breakthrough......

Really made me fall in love with all of what I saw there and all of what I could feel but will never be able to tell it in words!!

Churah Valley – Witness Nature in Its Pristine Form

Churah valley is located a remote corner north of Chamba district in Himachal Pradesh. It is one of the few places which has maintained the nature in its pristine form. The place shows us the stunning view of the majestic Himalayas which cannot be captured by any camera. It is a 6 to 7 hour drive from Pathankot which is the nearest railway station connecting the valley. The valley has the following key attractions which will be present in the bucket lists of people when it comes to tourist places.
