This is a very interesting trip where you will be observing the worldliness of two contrasting yet gorgeous villages of Uttarakhand. Bagori village consists of the Bhotia tribes who are originally from Tibet. This village has been awarded as the cleanest village in India. Once you enter the village, you will be amazed by its stature and aura. Although it is a Tibetain village, the people have also adapted some part of the Garhwali culture.


4 - 5 kms away from Bagori is the village of Mukhwa, which is known for being the second home for the idol of the Divine Goddess Ganga. It is rich for its priests and religious practices. The idol of Goddess Ganga travels from Gangotri to Mukhwa and stays there for 6 months - from Diwali to Akshaya Tritiya (auspicious day of prosperity and wealth for the Hindus). It is also a habitat for the traditional wooden houses typical to mountainous regions. It comprises the most beautiful houses.
