    This is such a beautiful community living. each family takes care of the other to celebrate so that no family is deprived of happiness. Its good of the lamas too to reduce their fees so that all families can have the opportunity to perform the rituals.. Extremely thoughtful gestures. This feels like another world altogether.

    Attending a Sunchok is now on my bucketlist, thanks to you! :-)
    And since it is an autumn festival, the temperatures in Pin Valley shouldn't be too low or uncomfortable.
    Already talking to my local friends from Dhansar and Tabo to see if I can attend one in future.
    My friends are shocked to know that I want to attend a Sunchok, and say, "Aapko hamare ghar ka Sunchok attend karne aana hai!" :-)
    Amazing warm-hearted people of Spiti. Makes you want to leave everything and join their tribe.

    Sunchok looks like an expensive business. Inviting 100 lamas is not a joke. Jus few days ago we had 4 lamas invited for a puja at home. Look at the number difference. Having said that, 100 lamas seems no problem for these Villagers, and the best part is they have fixed a certain amount as offerings.Also what I found interesting is how the villagers come together to help harmoniously.when so much people gather, God knows they might be haviñg small arguments/ misunderstandings, but the way u have directed your video puts everybody in good space.. Helpful..cheerful..fun loving....!!!! Loved the culture n concept of Sunchok. I would like to get a Sunchok done too. And thanks to you for sharing!.
