Himachal is a part of India.
Where there are still some remote and incredibly beautiful villages today
It feels as if you've gone back in time.
And today I have come to experience that kind of life in a village like this.
Wherever there are meadows filled with lush green grass
So somewhere, a house made of wood, so beautifully crafted
And when you go outside from that house
What appears to be a Himalayas vista, as if it has stepped out of a frame
The people of Hihang remain connected to their roots to this day.
Where, at short intervals, such magnificent temples come into view
People making shawls outside houses somewhere
Far behind the pace of cities in the Sangla Valley of Himachal Pradesh
This is a very beautiful village, Shangad.
Sangla Valley is about 130 kilometers from Manali.
Yet, despite this, it remains one of the places in Himachal Pradesh.
Where very few people still go today
And perhaps the simple reason is the poor roads here.
The roads here are so bad that reaching the valley itself becomes very difficult.
But in the mountains, rough roads often lead to the most beautiful destinations.
And this statement perfectly applies to San Jose Valley.
As we moved forward into this valley, it kept becoming increasingly beautiful.
The paths where we had been finding only stones and mud suddenly became filled with flowers.
So we are currently on the way, and this is the valley flower road.
I mean, where I'm standing right now, you people should be able to see it clearly—this entire floor is filled with white color and pink color.
There is one more thing that fills this valley, and that is clouds.
Right now, clouds are drifting through this valley; the cumulus clouds are piled up and slowly floating, which may be making it extremely beautiful.
We have come here, cloud-bound, so the cloud is good; I begin the mountain ascent, but your cloud also burdens me, and I would like to say that the cloud over Saien Valley reaches its peak.
It felt as if I were walking through a very deep valley.
Sometimes we walked alongside the river, and sometimes through these dense forests of Devdhar.
But one thing that Throughout this valley was showing us was the beautiful villagers of Saij Valley.
These houses made of mud and stone, built in Himachali architecture, amidst these green fields.
They were adding a unique charm to the beauty of the hills.
And then we arrive at another beautiful village in this valley, called Shangkand.
Before moving forward in the video, a quick note that you folks often ask me.
Bro, how do you manage just one expense when traveling so much?
Onisli's income as a creator is seasonal.
That's why I realized it's not just about making money.
Putting those funds to work is also important.
Because if the money is just sitting in the bank account, neither it is working nor am I.
So the question is, if money works, then what should one do?
Now there is an investment opportunity that is somewhat less talked about.
Bonds.
Hearing bonds reminded me of some boring chapter in school.
It's not that complicated.
Basically, when you invest in bonds
So, with terms being searched, you immediately get the information.
What is fixed deterrence structure, and when is repayment expected?
You already get plenty of important details even before the investment.
How long are you investing for?
What is Fixed Deposit, what is the structure, and what is the risk?
This part seems to me the most interesting.
Because for travel planning, I do exactly the same thing.
How many days to stay, and how much is the hotel?
How much will the expense be, and how much is the flight?
The only difference is that I spend money when I go on a trip.
And in investment, I invest money to make it grow.
Yes, brother, I've done the same with someone else, so I'm suggesting it.
Investment can be started from INR ten thousand.
Fixed returns on listed bonds can range from 9% to 12%.
But an important question: does this mean bonds are risk-free?
Investing without considering risk is never a smart move, no matter how attractive the return may seem.
Therefore, before investing, carefully check the bond's document, issuer, tenure, expected return structure, risk, and disclaimer.
And most importantly, make your decisions according to your financial goals and risk appetite.
In travel, impulsive decisions prevail, but in investment, one must look at what actually happens, which can be costly.

So we have now arrived at Shangar, this is our room.
It was a bit tricky to get here because the road was somewhat damaged.
Yet here we are, and as soon as we step out of the room, right in front of me is the view for which I came to Shangar.
Here is beautiful fur, a picture-perfect view below, with fields beneath and mountains behind; you'll also see the entire mountain covered in clouds, and those clouds are completely serene.
Shangar, at around 6,500 feet, is a village in the Sangj Valley.
But what sets this apart from the rebel village are these fields here.
And to be honest, it's a good village within its own village.
On one side, these colorful houses in the village come into view, while on the other side, these fields are seen.
And the entire area is surrounded on all sides by dense deodar forests.
Now, without wasting any time, we move forward toward the ridge.
So my little friend took me along with him to the field, from where he went off to school, and I ended up in this deodar forest.
I was just heading toward the meadow, and there are very tall trees here, but among them all, I spotted a truly amazing thing.
There is a deodar tree here from which two trees are growing.
And after a beautiful Vogue, we enter Shangar Mendo.
We have just arrived at Shangar Mendo, and you should be able to see us right here in the middle.
It's in the middle of the valley, whether I wear it or not, it would be there.
That is the meadow, the clouds floating among the mountains behind, and in the midst of the meadow, all are houses of some kind of hut.
A picture-perfect view that speaks for itself—so incredibly cozy and delightful.
Now that Himachal is called Dev Bhumi, this story of Maedo is also related to it.
There isn't even a small stone in this entire mountain.
And the locals believe that the Pandavas came here during their exile, and it was they who shaped this meadow in this manner.
There is also a temple in the corner of this madh.
There is a temple visible at the corner of this large cave, dedicated to a particular Shiva deity.
This is one of Lord Shiva's forms, and the local people believe that this deity safeguards the entire Bugyal region.
It is not a large cave, but rather a narrow passage, showing very old architecture in the winter.
After seeing the meadows of Shangar, I now read the village like a meadow, and just as beautiful and peaceful those meadows were, so too is this village.
Away from cities, there were no vehicles here, no noise at all—just the pure sounds of nature, which nowadays can only be seen on YouTube as sound effects.
The machine you are seeing here is used to make shawls, known locally as "Pattu."
Here, people construct the entire machine using wood, and you'll most likely find this machine in almost every household.
Alright, alright, do you make one for yourself too?
Just as we wear wedding attire, just as women in cities wear sarees, we also wear these colorful garments.
While wandering around this village, I once again arrived in front of this magnificent billboarding.
And if you people also feel that I am being biased or favoring someone, let me tell you clearly that this is not bias at all, but rather a temple located here.
And what a breathtaking temple this is! Whether you look at its walls made of wood and stone, or the exquisite wood carving on the entablature, it's simply magnificent.
Because this design seems a bit too big to me.
After looking at our Arkaar, we set off toward another place called Vunderik Lake.
So right now we are heading from Shangarh to Pundarik Lake, and brother, the road there is extremely steep—entirely a dirt road—and very rough.
It was so isolated that even on Google Maps, there was no route to this place.
We keep asking people, just like this, moving forward.
And after all that struggle, when we finally reached there, not even the field was worth it.
So now we have reached Pundarik Lake.
You must be seeing me behind you.
This lake is somewhat different because whereas at Amthorp Lake there is water on the lake.
You can see grass on this lake.
There is also water in it, very deep water, by choice.
But the ground above it is covered with grass.
You will also see water here and there, in every corner.
Hide the leaves in the folds
The rest of this grass looks very beautiful on top.
The sheets are of different colors; they belong to that grass.
And dense forests of sandalwood surround it on all sides.
And in the middle, what's there is a lake.
Right now, we don't have any alavaya at all.
Here, right now, there's only the sound of crickets.
Peace is in October.
