  • This is a story very close to my heart. The story of a village that gave me refuge after a snowstorm. The story of a family that took me in and made me one of their own. The story of a culture changing rapidly with time while also staying true to its roots. The story of one of the most beautiful, harshest places in our country. This is the story of Todnam. The little village with a big heart.

    Personally, I feel that places such as Todnam should remain pure and untouched by tourism. But the villagers feel otherwise and feel left out of the tourism boom that places like Mudh experience. It is not really my place to stand in the way of their aspirations.
    If you like to visit Todnam then please get in touch with my friend Nawang Tanzin. It is his dream to open the first homestay in the village. His number is 94186 02537. This is the most I can do and I feel guilty for doing this. Please do not comment/message me asking for more details about the village.

We are really mesmerized by the amount of efforts you are putting in narrating the story through this documentary. You are truly living a life that is mostly imagined by the people of this fashionable and hollow society.

      Thank you Tanzin. Yes it is very important to save your culture. I'm afraid it is going to be very difficult with the introduction of Jio. The next generation will get more and more distracted about 'modern' things and will not care about their traditions. This is what happened to me as well when i was growing up.
