The Little Village with a Big Heart ♥️ | Story of Todnam, Pin Valley, Spiti - 1/6
This is a story very close to my heart. The story of a village that gave me refuge after a snowstorm. The story of a family that took me in and made me one of their own. The story of a culture changing rapidly with time while also staying true to its roots. The story of one of the most beautiful, harshest places in our country. This is the story of Todnam. The little village with a big heart.

Personally, I feel that places such as Todnam should remain pure and untouched by tourism. But the villagers feel otherwise and feel left out of the tourism boom that places like Mudh experience. It is not really my place to stand in the way of their aspirations.
If you like to visit Todnam then please get in touch with my friend Nawang Tanzin. It is his dream to open the first homestay in the village. His number is 94186 02537. This is the most I can do and I feel guilty for doing this. Please do not comment/message me asking for more details about the village.
The history will make you immortal for documenting these beautiful enclaves.
Thank you for the kind words
Yes.you are indeed chronicling the everyday life of these beautiful people.
@@indiainmotion yes these videos have made you immortal brother.!
True that !!!
Nice comments
In a world full of self obsessed vloggers you're an exception. It's still rare to find open minded and curious individuals like you.

Hello brother, you are a beautiful human being who is doing a beautiful work by telling these untold stories. We are really mesmerized by the amount of efforts you are putting in narrating the story through this documentary. You are truly living a life that is mostly imagined by the people of this fashionable and hollow society. Love and peace
Thanks for the kind words Raghav
This is amazing!!! thank you for introducing us to this beautiful culture and lovely ppl. Hard working and caring!!! Cheers!!
Hii
If only all the tourists and adventurers were like you, people might actually trust outsiders. People like you are always welcome in hills.
Thank you. I enjoyed watching almost all your videos. Such a refreshing insight into lives of those humble people living happily up there in mountains. I hope to travel there one day. That 💫 star lighted sky by night was mesmerising. Thank you all over again !
You are welcome Sonam
Everytime I watch these kind of videos I fall in love with those mountains and the people there over and over again. 💝
Had visited pin valley in 2015. Spiti itself is so beautiful and the route to pin valley is even more beautiful. Left my heart and soul in Spiti. Am dragging my body in city.
I can totally relate to this Rajul
Again thank you.. 💕 I learned a lesson today we should save our culture before it vanish, I noticed today how pure and natural it is tysm to you sir And how pin is the only area left with our typical culture lots of respect to pin and poeple of pin to save our culture till now Thnku to you too sir, M gonna share video to all my friends they will be happy too to see our land in this way
Thank you Tanzin. Yes it is very important to save your culture. I'm afraid it is going to be very difficult with the introduction of Jio. The next generation will get more and more distracted about 'modern' things and will not care about their traditions. This is what happened to me as well when i was growing up.
We young generations of spiti will save our tradition and sir u have inspire us lot to do this .In future I will really going to do sth for my beautiful valley and inspire lot to my younger generation to save our culture.💞🙏🙏
I could hardly even leave my bed when I was in Manali during winter season. I could not imagine how cold it is in that village. Nevertheless, amazing video ! -from Philippines

Thanks Bharti. Im now curious to know if you can sing as well as those ladies. I was amazed when I first heard them sing.

Awesome story, the people of Todnam village have a good heart...the folk song in the background is too good, the rustic voice of the lead female singer is amazing.
Spiti Valley remind me of Tibet. The culture and tradition of the people are similar to Tibet. These small small pocket places of Tibet became part of India after 1959. India did made a good deal with China. Thank you for covering the story.
India has not made any deal with China. this is himachal, indian land,
@@JoJo-kc6ko England
Tibet is illegally occupied by China
I’ve been to Spiti myself and it’s beautiful. Your story has so much heart and soul in it unlike most travel videos that are mainly about drone photography and editing. Thanks for sharing this with us.
