So this time finally the dream of
the members of MOTORISTA group came true. The dream to conquer the mightiest “SAACH
PASS” which connects district Chamba, Himachal Pradesh with Pangi Valley.
The journey started last summer
during our School holidays as we both are teachers by profession. The incident which
we are going describe now actually happened while coming from Saach Pass. On the
way while coming down we surprised to witness large group of sheep along with their
guardian called as Gaddi in native language.
We were in a dilemma that in such a far place
from the city of Punjab whether we will get good response, whether we should speak
to them? Our hearts shouted that the people of Himachal are of a divine soul. So,
we stopped and started interacting with them.
Chatar Singh, the head of the tribe
who was cooking some bread made of corn which is called DODHA in local language,
spoke to us and offer us some food. We were hungry and accepted the offer
without giving it another thought.
One person went to get some fresh
goat milk and other kept a utensil on the fire. After few minutes a jug filled
of goat milk was kept in front of us. The leader of the tribe poured some milk
in a glass and asked us to drink. We tasted this for the very first time in our
life. A soup was made with the same goat milk and was offered to us with corn
bread. Some soya chunks were fried along with the soup. The taste was good but
the innocence which was reflecting in their eyes made the food delicious
The meeting with the local guy
named Satpal lead to another journey to one the most remote village of the
world. Keep reading……………………
