This one's a long one for sure. Sit back, take your time. Took me a very long time to write, arrange, record and edit it. Like Months. But, I am not the only one who did the work. I actually have never visited Johar, so if you see a shot that made you go "Whoa!", almost certainly it was shot by this guy: www.youtube.com/@deepakbafila08 A massive thanks to Dr. Shekhar Pathak as well.

Thank you Harshit! Your videos continue to educate and inspire me. I really appreciate the time and effort invested in the research of our tribe and other videos in general. Please continue to make these amazing snippets of our Uttarakhand history. All the best 🙏
I am from Chamba, Himachal Pradesh and the "Gaddi" tribe of Chamba migrates with their flock from upper Chamba to Kangra, Himachal Pradesh or Lahaul Spiti.
Thank You Harshit !! As a Bhotiya ( A Rung from Darma ) i felt, you did justice to the whole Uttarakhandi Bhotiya Community by just one video on Shaukas! There were few more misnomers i would like to clarify in context to the Rungs, as the Rung from Darma are Darmaani ( not Darmiya ), Bangbani for Rungs in Chaudas and Byangpa for Rungs in Vyas also, People in Ralam Valley are also Rung. Thank You again !!
In context to other Bhotiyas of Uttarakhand, Tolchhas and Marchhas are collectively known as Rongpa and there is one more Community Khampa, From The Kham province of Tibet , some of them have been residing in uttarakhand during this Trade period, especially in the Khimling village of Darma Valley, today Khimling has been almost abandoned, Groups of Khampas are living in Dharchula, Almora etc.

I recently went to Munsyari and I was in awe for a month. There I heard about Milam trek.. After watching this masterpiece, I can't wait to go there again.. What a fabulous work🙌🙏
I'm from bageshwar... And yeah we do celebrate uttarayani every year (probly a day after makar sankranti). I was literally awestruck throughout the video... Keep up the good work mate.
बहुत बढ़िया जानकारी हर्षित रोतेला। यह जानकारी यदि पाठ्यक्रम में शामिल हो जाये तो हमारी आने पीढ़ी को अपने उत्तराखंड के इतिहास को आगे बढ़ाने में मदद मिल सकती है। आपको यह बताते हुए मुझे बहुत गर्व से कहना पड़ रहा है कि उत्तराखंड की दूसरी पीढ़ी जो यूरोपीय देशों में पैदा हुए हैं वह इस जानकारी को सुनकर काफ़ी प्रभावित होते हैं और उन्हें काफ़ी गर्व महसूस होता है कि उनके वंशज उत्तराखंड की पावन धरती से संबंधित हैं । जानकारी को शेयर करने के बहुत धन्यवाद🙏🏽
Too good… A drop of tear came in when Dr Shekar Pathak mentioned that the communities are not aware that they have lost a tradition even though many of them have got well settled. I just thought through the same, in the race of newer lives we are in race to move to Urban clusters losing our tradition and culture.
You got to the precise POINT... It's emotional and touching, but very few realize it, I can I have lived the whole of my life in a big and modern city.
I am from haldwani and like most my parents to migrated from pahad so to provide us better education and for better health care facilities, do you know in haldwani be have "Johar mahautsav" its celebrated by bhotiya people its like a cultural fair, they serve there traditional food and dance and everything all people are invited and are free to come, haldwani has all type of kumaoni communities from johar valley to almora every type of kumaoni person is here and we have good ammount of bohotiya settlement thanks to that i have many bhotoiya friends as well, even though we all miss our pahad dearly, sometimes i feel that Haldwani serves as a melting point of all kumaoni culture and all different communities become friends and get to know each other is one of the positive and delightful side of the coin, a thing which allows me to see positive in this city when I sadly and angrily criticize govt for not developing our villages and distroying our culture the anger also become directed towards the city I myself am from
एक छोटा सा प्रयास लेकिन बहुत बड़ी विशालता को दिखाया है। आपने रौतेला जी, मैं भी उसी जोहार मुनस्यार घाटी का घुमंतू कुटुम्ब का सदस्य हूं। और वहा के इतिहास को आपने भली भांति तरीके से उकेरा है, और भी कई चीजे वहा के इतिहास में है जिससे अभी खुद भोटिया समाज अनभिज्ञ हैं। इतिहास को किसी ने पूर्णतः संकलित नही किया, और वो चीजें समाज के सामने आ नही पाई।
The line “it took many years to create but took only a year to stopped” was powerful…… even in Arunachal 1962 stopped many things which was aged old, between Arunachal and tibet, now we only hear stories about them. from west to east many tribes are special relation with tibet, that lost and cut off after that war….
Amazing., kai baate jo shayad hmare itihas m kho ke reh gai unke baare m sunna janna smjhna or istne sundar taraha se use ek video m ked karna koi aasan baat nhi hai … sach m beautifully aapne ise dikhaya ❤🎉

Thank you for making videos of Local communities their history, traditions , culture , life style . At present time when urbanisation has led to loss of cultural , historical identity of such local communities.
I have been to Munsyari several years ago and was extremely impressed with the people and places in that region. It was far different from what modern Uttarakand modern society is today.
Brother... I am highly thankful you let the world acquainted with history of our shauka tribe... people like you preserving the ancient and legendary legacy of uttarakhand...hats off man.
As a person from Shuaka community, I would like acknowledge it is the finest documentry on our tribe I came across. Well words put together! Also I would correct slight mistake that Ralam valley culturally and linguistically diffrent to Shuakas. The inhabitants of that valley are resisded by rung tribe. They share more similarities with Rungs from Darma and had high altitute trek routes that connected Darma valley. Also Ralam valley is not considerd as part of malla Johar valley. Besides Jad bhota, the Rung tribe has retain some form Buddhist and bon practises. They also have lamas and buddhist chapels. Although the numbers are miniscule but they still exists today. Few members of rung community have revived buddhist traditions.
Thankyou very much! And, while Ralam is culturally distinct from Johar as you mentioned, the village does come under Johar, at least administratively, because the access to the village is orders of magnitude easier from Johar valley than Darma, the physical barrier between Ralam and Darma is huge.
This just mesmerised me completely!!! I have been longing to go to milam for so many years but not been able to do it. I read a lot about Johar valley but this video opened a lot of areas for me to explore in the same valley. As always, Thank you so much Harshit for putting together this amazing video. Keep them coming.
Meri amma ne bataya tha ek baar mujhe ye sab, wo bolti thi hud Desh se aate the hudi saaman bhechne. So nice to know all this in detail. Amazing video Harshit ❤
Thank you harshit!! As a shauka I don't know much about my culture and origin I read several books but this video gives all the information about it. This video really helped me to understand about our origin and culture. Thanks again!!!
As a botiya from munsyari i really enjoyed learning about the history of our ancientors , how difficult and complex circumstances they must have had to live. Kudos to you for making such a nice video, keep progressing like this!! 😊😊
मेरे परदादा जी जब मैं बहुत छोटी थी तो हमे गीत के माध्यम से यह सुनाया करते थे, तिब्बत व्यापार यह सब की कहानी भी सुनते थे, मेरे डैडी ने सब कुछ वीडियो रिकॉर्डिंग करके रखी हुई हैं स्पेशली वीडियोग्राफर को बुलाकर। सच में हमने हमारी सांस्कृतिक धरोहर खो दिए, प्रकृति ने तो सब कुछ एक बनाया था, हम इंसानों ने उसमें सीमाएं बना दी, और अब उन सीमाओं के लिए लड़ते लड़ते हम अपनी संस्कृति को ही बंजार बना रहे हैं💔। आखिर लोगों को कब समझ में आएगा इंसान इंसानियत सबसे जरूरी है, सत्ता राजनीति तो आती जाती रहेगी। मैंने अपनी आंखों से देखा है जितना थोड़ा बहुत लिपुलेख का व्यापार होता था अभी कोरोना से पहले भी, जब से बंद हुआ है, वहां के लोगों को जीवन यापन के लिए भी इतनी कठिनाइयां हो रही है, जो लोग व्यापारी हुआ करते थे, आज के पोडर, मजदूरी आदि कर के अपनी जीविका चला रहे हैं। सरकार ने तो आदेश दे दिया, अब व्यापार बंद हो गया, लेकिन क्या इस बारे में सोचा कि व्यापार बंद होने के बाद, उन लोगों का क्या होगा जो इस व्यापार पर ही अपना घर चलाते थे?
New sub here, you answered a lot of questions I've always wanted to know. I'm 54 this year and finally found someone who explained the historical facts. Thank you
My mother very fondly tells me stories how when she was a kid , shaukas would come with large herd of goats,sheeps,horses & dogs and would stop by my mother's grandmother, they would sell salt,wollen dan,jadibuti and take pulses,oil etc with them as they descend to pithoragarh. Great video btw
My grandmother used to tell me same stories, now they don't come but in old days they used to come with their dogs and in their horses and sell all those stuff
I have been in Munsiyari in mid January 2024. I came across the details about this illustrious Shauka folks when visited Tribal Musuem there and also with some local guys to know more about Johar and Munsiyari. I am such fascinated with history and culture of this land that, not a single day pass when I dont read or search anything regarding Munsiyari,Milam,Darma. This video is best explaining the details of this land. Thanks and keep going. Best of Luck.
I'm from Maharashtra a Non Pahadian state & your videos really make me understand the beautiful culture, history, lifestyle of Pahadian people. And make fall in love with Himalaya & it's wonders. Waiting for more such amazing content from you!!
The way this man is promoting the roots of Uttarakhand and showing the real culture, their lifestyle, their issues,etc..that is commendable! Keep going Harshit. Really well work from you. Way to go ahead. Come soon with new projects!
The information you have provided through TH-cam about the ancient tribes of the Himalayas in such a short time is a very good and hard-working effort, but still a lot is missing about these ancient tribes of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. I have been thinking for many years that I will contact you soon
नमस्कार हर्षित भईया, आपने जिस तरह से भूटिया जनजाति की पूरी हिस्ट्री बताई वह बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है। जैसे जैसे आप हिस्ट्री बताई मैं उसमें खोता चला गया। देखने लगा ये भी एक उत्तराखंड था। वैसे मैं दुर्ग छत्तीसगढ़ से आपका विडियो देख रहा, मुझे बहुत कुछ सीखने को मिला। क्यूंकि हिस्ट्री जानने में मुझे भी थोड़ा बहुत ज्ञान है। एक बार आपको और आपके टीम ने बहुत ही बढ़िया से प्रस्तुति दी है। यह जानकारी उत्तराखंड के सभी वर्ग को देखना चाहिए, या फिर जानने का प्रयास करना चाहिए। हम सभी तक यह फिल्म पहुंचाने के लिए धन्यवाद🙏💓💐
This is most welcome important documentary stories to preserve and high time to pass on new generations. Thank you so much!!! I was a few still living Tibetans, originally from Taklakot , Tibet. We experienced terrible hardships of refugee lives in early sixties in a camp called SANDEO near by Didihat. Appreciate if you could kindly provide some such stories books. Thank you again.
हर बार की तरह जानदार शानदार और जानकारी से भरा एपिसोड। शेखर पाठक जी और भाई को बहुत बहुत आभार। एक एपिसोड चन्द राजाओं को राजधानी चम्पावत पर भी बन जाता तो बहुत ही बढ़िया हो जाता।
आपने बहुत सही जानकारी दी है। कुछ लोग तो गलत लिखते है ।जिसे पढ़कर हमैं अच्छा नहीं लगता है। हम लोग राजपूत है और कुमाऊँनी संस्कृति वाले है। बोली भी लगभग कुमाऊँनी है। सही जानकारी के लिए धन्यवाद। 🙏🏻
True , shaukas are more close to kumaonis, we are kumaoni ,even language is same just a little different dialect , culture, rituals in marriage is same as typical kumaoni the only difference is that we have mongoloid look ❤
I only recently travelled extensively in those regions because of my best friend being a Shauka Toliya. Haven’t done the trek through the valley yet but have visited Munsiyari multiple times. Heard a lot of stories about the culture but this documentary just explained everything in a crystal clear manner. Beautifully made! Thank You for sharing and explaining this beautifully rare cultural heritage to us non-Uttarakhandis. Stunning and mysterious are two words that come to my mind when I think of that region. Hope to do the trek to Milam this year. Keep up the good work brother.
I'm from Kerala and learnt about magnificent Uttarkhand from your detailed yet compact TH-cam videos, Harshit ji. As #utopiadream242 has posted, it takes a lot of effort, persistence and patience to compile something like this. Thanks for giving me a better understanding of Uttarkhand. I'm very grateful that my curiosity was answered in such a splendid fashion 🙏🏾
Bro, I am Andhra Pradesh, thank you so much for sharing the unknown History of our mighty India. Your narration in Hindi is too good n I hope you have invested great deal of time n effort in your research.Keep up the good work. God Bless You. Jai Hind

Johar Valley in Munsiyari is a scenic and culturally rich place. It is known for its stunning landscapes, quaint villages and the vibrant culture of the Johari people. The valley offers a mesmerizing backdrop with snow-clad peaks, lush green meadows and Milam Glacier that adds to its charm. Thank you so much for describing the Johar Valley (Bhotiya tribe) so beautifully. If you have specific questions or need more information, feel free to ask 🤗 LOVe From Munsyari Hills 🙏
प्रिय अनुज हर्षित रोतेला जी आपका प्रस्तुतीकरण सबसे ज्यादा प्रभावशाली है ईश्वर आपको सपरिवार सदैव सुखी और आनंदित रखें आपने पूरे देश को अनमोल जानकारी दी है
Can’t Thankyou enough for this video. Your voice alone represents the whole uttrakhand. I am Martoliya and heard little stories from my grandfather but not that detailed. Can’t wait to show this video to my parents❤
Amzing video! being from uttrakhand it makes me realise that our genetic, economic and social history is different than rest of india and what we read in ncerts during school. Your insightful videos will be important source of information for those interested in history of uttrakhand for years to come. keep up with the ggod work :)
Amazing work bhaiya, My father is also from bhotiya tribe but since I've been brought up in Rajasthan, I always felt disconnected from my roots, watching your videos give me immense sense of pride in my tribe and community. Hopefully you'll make a video for the Tolchha Bhotiyas soon too ☺️
Thanks to Shekhar ji & Harshit ji for this highly informative video. Let me add a bit more. Highest village in the world was Luwa, about 19K feet in altitude. Mr. Netra Singh Rawat the famous journalist from the village worked with famous Hindi Political magazine Dinmaan in 1970s and 80s.
Wow, Very mesmerizing presentation ❤ a lot of valuable information are given in this video. Hats off to your hard work harshit i truly appreciate your work
Kudos! Harshit Simply Excellent 👌🏽 तुम्हारी मेहनत को सलाम है। महीनों तक इतनी जटिल रिसर्च कर के क्या ख़ूब सरलता से पेश किया है। And I am not saying this, because I belong to Johar valley. I am a big fan, especially of the objective approach you carry. One Man Army More power to you ❤ Dr. Pathak's concern is also noteworthy. & beautiful picturization by Mr. Bafila. 🎉🎉 Looking forward to more such masterpieces.
Re-watching this again because I still can't get over how well researched and well documented this video is. Kudos you and your team once again!🎉 Looking forward to more such videos about Uttarakhand and more areas of interest of yours. 🧡
Thank you very much. You have made a very informative video. I feel very happy to know so much about Jauhar community and their 1000 years trade culture. Thanks once again. Keep it up.👍
Hello 🙏🏻🌿🌿✨ I totally admire your work. When we study History in schools, the Northern mountain people history is not taught. I'm sure very less percentage of Indians know the History of Northern mountains. It's a great effort that We come to know about such facts of Himachal and Uttarakhand history. I'll always look forward for more such topics. GREAT WORK 👍🏻👍🏻✨✨🙏🏻
storytelling , history , documentation , authenticity , cinematography ,research, bgm - 100% on point.... your hard work and artistic vision absolutely mind blowing...beautiful beautiful content brother !!!

As a Bhotiya ( A Rung from Darma ) i felt, you did justice to the whole Uttarakhandi Bhotiya Community by just one video on Shaukas!
There were few more misnomers i would like to clarify in context to the Rungs, as the Rung from Darma are Darmaani ( not Darmiya ), Bangbani for Rungs in Chaudas and Byangpa for Rungs in Vyas
also, People in Ralam Valley are also Rung.
Thank You again !!
In context to other Bhotiyas of Uttarakhand, Tolchhas and Marchhas are collectively known as Rongpa
and there is one more Community Khampa, From The Kham province of Tibet , some of them have been residing in uttarakhand during this Trade period, especially in the Khimling village of Darma Valley, today Khimling has been almost abandoned, Groups of Khampas are living in Dharchula, Almora etc.

नमस्कार हर्षित भईया, आपने जिस तरह से भूटिया जनजाति की पूरी हिस्ट्री बताई वह बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है। जैसे जैसे आप हिस्ट्री बताई मैं उसमें खोता चला गया। देखने लगा ये भी एक उत्तराखंड था। वैसे मैं दुर्ग छत्तीसगढ़ से आपका विडियो देख रहा, मुझे बहुत कुछ सीखने को मिला। क्यूंकि हिस्ट्री जानने में मुझे भी थोड़ा बहुत ज्ञान है। एक बार आपको और आपके टीम ने बहुत ही बढ़िया से प्रस्तुति दी है। यह जानकारी उत्तराखंड के सभी वर्ग को देखना चाहिए, या फिर जानने का प्रयास करना चाहिए। हम सभी तक यह फिल्म पहुंचाने के लिए धन्यवाद🙏💓💐
This is soo beautiful and immersive.. very simple and elegant... Great work 👏
This is most welcome important documentary stories to preserve and high time to pass on new generations.
Thank you so much!!!
I was a few still living Tibetans, originally from Taklakot , Tibet. We experienced terrible hardships of refugee lives in early sixties in a camp called SANDEO near by Didihat.
Appreciate if you could kindly provide some such stories books.
Thank you again.
Plz document your parent's memories 🙏🏻
पहाड़ी जनजातीय लोगों के बारे में बहुत अच्छी जानकारी उपलब्ध करवाने के लिए धन्यवाद।
Born and brought up in Pithoragarh, I had lot of bhotiya friends but I didn't know the history. Thanks for enlightening us. Hats off
Too good, haven't watch such beautiful & well narrated with ton of information
हर बार की तरह जानदार शानदार और जानकारी से भरा एपिसोड। शेखर पाठक जी और भाई को बहुत बहुत आभार। एक एपिसोड चन्द राजाओं को राजधानी चम्पावत पर भी बन जाता तो बहुत ही बढ़िया हो जाता।
आपने बहुत सही जानकारी दी है। कुछ लोग तो गलत लिखते है ।जिसे पढ़कर हमैं अच्छा नहीं लगता है। हम लोग राजपूत है और कुमाऊँनी संस्कृति वाले है। बोली भी लगभग कुमाऊँनी है। सही जानकारी के लिए धन्यवाद। 🙏🏻
Rajput ka matlab ye nahi ke aap bahar se aaye ho. Uttarakhand ke khas log hamesa se kashtriya mane jate the
Rajput hamare purvaj the hm nahi
True , shaukas are more close to kumaonis, we are kumaoni ,even language is same just a little different dialect , culture, rituals in marriage is same as typical kumaoni
the only difference is that we have mongoloid look ❤
I only recently travelled extensively in those regions because of my best friend being a Shauka Toliya. Haven’t done the trek through the valley yet but have visited Munsiyari multiple times. Heard a lot of stories about the culture but this documentary just explained everything in a crystal clear manner. Beautifully made! Thank You for sharing and explaining this beautifully rare cultural heritage to us non-Uttarakhandis. Stunning and mysterious are two words that come to my mind when I think of that region. Hope to do the trek to Milam this year. Keep up the good work brother.
Thanks
I'm from Kerala and learnt about magnificent Uttarkhand from your detailed yet compact TH-cam videos, Harshit ji. As #utopiadream242 has posted, it takes a lot of effort, persistence and patience to compile something like this. Thanks for giving me a better understanding of Uttarkhand. I'm very grateful that my curiosity was answered in such a splendid fashion 🙏🏾
प्रो शेखर पाठक ने उच्च हिमालय को पैदल यात्रा से अध्धयन में पूरा जीवन लगा रखा है सादर
अब याद आया अस्कोट से आराकोट की पैदल यात्रा उस का विस्तृत वर्णन किया गया था
Wow so beautiful video very nice from fiji island

Johar Valley in Munsiyari is a scenic and culturally rich place. It is known for its stunning landscapes, quaint villages and the vibrant culture of the Johari people. The valley offers a mesmerizing backdrop with snow-clad peaks, lush green meadows and Milam Glacier that adds to its charm. Thank you so much for describing the Johar Valley (Bhotiya tribe) so beautifully. If you have specific questions or need more information, feel free to ask 🤗 LOVe From Munsyari Hills 🙏

Amazing work bhaiya, My father is also from bhotiya tribe but since I've been brought up in Rajasthan, I always felt disconnected from my roots, watching your videos give me immense sense of pride in my tribe and community. Hopefully you'll make a video for the Tolchha Bhotiyas soon too ☺️
In hinni RONGPA 😊😊
Harshit only one thing to say.
No matter what happens, don't stop posting these videos..
It's a request..

Thanks to Shekhar ji & Harshit ji for this highly informative video. Let me add a bit more.
Highest village in the world was Luwa, about 19K feet in altitude. Mr. Netra Singh Rawat the famous journalist from the village worked with famous Hindi Political magazine Dinmaan in 1970s and 80s.

तुम्हारी मेहनत को सलाम है। महीनों तक इतनी जटिल रिसर्च कर के क्या ख़ूब सरलता से पेश किया है।
And I am not saying this, because I belong to Johar valley.
I am a big fan, especially of the objective approach you carry.
One Man Army

Wow, thank you! Again.
Thank you very much. You have made a very informative video. I feel very happy to know so much about Jauhar community and their 1000 years trade culture. Thanks once again. Keep it up.👍
Hello 🙏🏻🌿🌿✨ I totally admire your work. When we study History in schools, the Northern mountain people history is not taught. I'm sure very less percentage of Indians know the History of Northern mountains. It's a great effort that We come to know about such facts of Himachal and Uttarakhand history. I'll always look forward for more such topics. GREAT WORK 👍🏻👍🏻✨✨🙏🏻
Thankyou!
storytelling , history , documentation , authenticity , cinematography ,research, bgm - 100% on point.... your hard work and artistic vision absolutely mind blowing...beautiful beautiful content brother !!!
🙌
The way he used to tell the story and capture the attention of the viewers through the subtle visual storytelling techniques. Hats off brother
Thanks
