Beyond Khajjiar: Himalayan village where tradition shapes tourism

Away from the crowded meadows, hotels and commercial bustle of Khajjiar, a short trek leads visitors to a mountain settlement where the pace of life is slower and the rhythms of a Himalayan village remain closely tied to tradition. Bhaloli, now known as "Mystic Village", is a community-led tourism destination situated on a mountaintop near Khajjiar.
