Tripoto

Beautiful villages at northern most region of India. They are still so virgin and unexploited by human civilization. These villages remains under snow for more than 6 months in a year. They becomes accessible from mid of June and roads gets blocked from December. The inhabitants store their food for the winter through out the summer season as in winter they can not even step out from their home. One will hardly find any information regarding these places even doing Google search. People mostly speak Shina language rather than Kashmiri. The inhabitants suffer highly from availing basic services like school, colleges, medical facilities, jobs and even with transportation system, but still they are so welcoming with pretty smile on their face when they see any strangers.
