Himachal Pradesh, literally means "in the lap of Himalayas". This Northern state of India, is surrounded by the most awestruck mountains one can lie eyes on.
This state is situated in the Western Himalayas, and surrounded by states like Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab in its borders. Himachal Pradesh is also known as Land of the Gods or Deva Bhoomi.
There are Innumerous stories and tales that have been told for centuries in this land.
Some of these folk tales are absurd and bone chilling.
One such folk tale is that of a 70 year old man, who is said to have blindly skied through the most strenuous slopes in the Western Himalayas. It is said that he has been skiing since the age of 20 years old and there is no pictorial evidence of him skiing or being up in the mountains yet this old man is said to be still out there chasing the thrill of skiing these rough mountains.
When you travel to our
resort in Himachal Pradesh, you might happen to come across the Jakhoo temple situated on the Jakhoo Hills. This temple holds the deity of Lord Hanuman and true to his origin, a large set of monkeys is said to protect this temple and snatch all the food from tourists. It is truly absurd how the Monkey God residing in the temple still is able to form his army of monkeys in this present time and guard the temple.
