The village connects with the world with just one phone

Located between two long passes and in a northern Indian state, Bara Bangal is the most remote village in the Himalayas when only contacted outside with a satellite phone.

Bara Bangal is an Indian village completely isolated from the world because it lies at 4,800 m altitude between two Kalihani and Thamsar passes, slopes along the mountain and Ravi river.People here have to build a small stone bridge to cross streams to form Ravi river.

The walking here is very difficult, due to the extreme weather with many sudden strong winds and blizzards.In the picture is the situation of snow covering the Kalihani Pass toward the Bara Bangal village.

A Gaddi citizen (the people who live mainly in Himachal Pradesh) is taking a break in the middle of a goat by smoking.He sat in the cave door and waited for the sky to be cloudy.

A small group of Gaddi people are paving the way for a group of sheep to move in the middle of the white snow.

This is the view of the village of Bara Bangal when viewed from afar.The roofed houses on the left of the photo are the first area to form the village, while the right is the additional building to complete because the population here is increasing.

There are many different stories about the village, but the most interesting and interesting is the village founded by soldiers who served Alexander the Great.

The antiquity of Bara Bangal is shown everywhere, from huts, trails, to stone walls that embrace the cliff.In the picture are two women talking through the stone wall and those mountains may be where their husbands are grazing the cattle.

No matter where you are, welcome with smiles, tea invitations and lunch.A man in the village shared: "It is a tradition. We will feel hurt when guests are invited without staying with the people."He is pouring swig arrack (an Indian wine) to invite guests to drink.

Today, horses are the main means of transportation for people in the summer.They mostly communicate only with the outside world through a phone (using satellite waves installed by the government) in emergencies.

The CNN reporters said that after a short stay in Bara Bangal, it took 4 days to complete the journey through the Thamsar Pass to Dharamshala city.This place brings people to an ice cave.

Sanju, a man the reporter met, went from Bara Bangal to the suburb of Dharamshala to rest his cattle after a journey through the Thamsar Pass.
