Abandoned Himalayan villages of Johar Valley for BBC

September 6, 2016 Travel

After the Sino-Indian war of 1962, a remote valley of Uttarakhand was abandoned and so was the ancient silk route to Tibet.
Read more about it in my latest photo story.

Special thanks to Ellie Cobb and Anne Banas for refining it.

    Hey, how can i get into Johar Valley? I don-t find anything in Lonely planet.
    Thanks, love your work.

    Hi Sara!
    Thanks a lot.
    It won’t be on Lonely Planet, its not that famous among tourists, you need to get to Munsiyari and walk from there. Also, you need permits that can be arranged by some travel agent there.
