Also, have you ever had the urges to shift to the mountains or Manali? (like me) :P If yes, where?
Kufri in summer ,Radhanagar beach in winter .
Anywhere in Himalayas
Chitkul for rest of my life 😔
Had the fortune to stay in a village in himachal for a few days. However the feeling i had for those few days is hard to explain. That simple life with simple people was an experience. I felt content with whatever basic I had in terms of food, amenities etc. Didn't feel the need for a big car, fancy holidays etc. maybe the feeling was temporary..I throughly enjoyed the experience and felt calm and content for those few days.
Hahaha every day even before u started having ones , and it isn't that far away either , Very soon!
Nature is love. Close to nature is automatically made your life happy and you can meditate easily
I am a native of the mountains,and I am amazed that these city people finding even walking for their necessities hard whereas it is a way of life for us ,it's basic for human beings to walk, so city people are inhuman mechanical.
True.. Agree with you.. I come from a city though. I really didn't like how the lady is pointing out as if she has come from some foreign country.
Walking 300mt. for necessities is pretty normal but if you need walk for 2 or 3 km that is not normal. YesI agree in mountain its not always possible to build that level of infrastructure , so that happens. In max part of our country basic necessities are not available. It not something of glory ..its because our country is underdeveloped. So kindly don't justify everything as normal.
They crib about everything.
I remember as a kid waking for kms(more than 3) , running an errand, going to school from one part of the mountains to the other. And a fact I lived in a town ( like Manali) with all basic facilities. But still we had to travel by foot for kms, on a pretty awesome asphalt road.The terrain was so hard that you could not cut mountains to build roads. I’m living in Himachal and before pre corona days walking 5-8 kms everyday was pretty normal to us.
See they are not used to the hard pahadi life, so may be that’s the problem she was addressing, she had to face.
Ask a pahadi , and it’s normal to them. And development has got nothing to do with it.
It’s the strong pahadi mindset.
@@srimantamukherjee5434 pl don't be a city weakling. 2-3 kms is quite normal in hills unless you are somewhat 80+.
I used to walk 3 kms daily just attending office before lockdown.
@@RightOne1 💯
I am from Mumbai and I also wanted to stay near mountains fed-up with the city life
Tathaastu....
Let’s all make a group of 5-6 genuine families n shift we too fed up of Bangalore
Good idea
A realistic, balanced portrayal of life on the mountains... commendable!
There is babukka in manali who is from kerala stays there for years taking land in lease and doing farming there. He is a doctor by profession and married too.. but he left everything and is peacefully living in manali. If you get a chance to meet him go and meet. He is such a gem
where exactly in manali ?
This was so insightful. I think the video answered most of the queries I had in regards to wanting to shift to the mountains. Thank you for putting in so much effort and bringing this story to us. Really looking forward to the second part :)
Sorry about the audio quality in this one, my mic decided not to work at the wrong time :( (but please increase the volume) However, here's a super inspiring story of a lady who moved from Bangalore to Manali 4 years back! Being a mountain enthusiast myself, had an extremely long chat which also answers the questions that comes in ones mind while taking one such decision. Feel free to refer the markers put in the bottom of the video to know about the aspect you'd be interested in. And do let me know how you liked the video! 💜
nice, where is the part -2?
Yes. Currently i am searching duch place somewhere in uttrakhand or himachal.
I always wanted to settle in a calm place. For me Tosh in himachal and Kund village in Uttrakhand is something beyond imagination.
My parents have also moved to Manali...they too hv an interesting story..they run a homestay in shanag village in manali...idyllicinn...and they are very happy..check out their story
@@Loveyouzindagibysaloni great, it's a great place
I am already blessed 😂 born himachali❤️
Always wanted to live in mountains I told my wife once to leave the city life and get settled in HP...she told me to see a psychiatrist..also it's not fisible for people like us who are rooted to family business where there are huge responsibility on us..I wish I could do it someday ..
I told my husband the same thing. He reacted the same way your wife did. I am a good wife but I know I will never be a happy person
How ridiculous and sad! .. Hope your spouse understands someday..
It's so connect ed to me am living in mountain for two years I was living in dubai for 10 years and after tht I got bored I was always had a feeling for go and stay in mountains..once I moved to India I just started to search a place in mountain .. finally I got a small place to settle myself .
Wht mountain teach a better person,our conconscious had hightened,
More balanced ,always feels the mothernature..
Nature se vdiya kuch nhi hota ..... Life around nature is like life in heaven ❤️
So true! :)
Thanks 😊👍🙏
I am a 22 years old guy just starting my career & due to my love for spirituality, mountains always attract me even though i do not get to visit them as much. I plan to stay & work from there for a while in the future hopefully & your videos are soo helpful!! Thank you sooo much for all of it!
This is not himalayan or mountain life. It is just living with the mirror image of your city life in the backdrop of mountains. अपनी बोरियत को दूर करने के लिए पहाडो का सहारा लेती जवानी और वहा अपने शहर की convenience को तलाशता उनका मन। असल मे पहाड का जीवन पहाड जैसा है। This is just a growing trend to attain enlightenment or happiness in the lapse of mountains by their money which will conclude to nothing in reality.
Pahad brbad ho rahe hai inke enlightenment se
Perfect
@@badlad2001 pahad ko barbad logh bhi kudh bhi kar rahe pahle jo ghar local tradition Jaise aur environment ki kadhar karte thein par abh pahadi logh kudh apna ghar Delhi model jaisa banah rahe hain aur environment ko bhi nukshan karte hain main kudh pahadi hun
She is not into spirituality, just wants to spend in the mountains, both scenarios are different.
Technology has made to enjoy what we like. It might be either mountain, rural simple folks, no excess desire and on the top make life to progress with satisfaction. Sharing views is the result of the same. Keep enjoying good luck.
"The only Zen you can find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there."

👌👌👌 Yeah... Absolutely true
“It's the sides of the mountain which sustain life, not the top.” ~ Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values :) One of my favourite books.
I love the way you describe each and every single thing in a detailed manner . Love watching your videos ❤️
Hey Visha, thanks for making this video. I can relate to it so much since i am also planning to move to mountains and videos wiht people who have already done it gives a lot of perspective.... Kudos!!
This is great! Thanks Visha.
Awaiting Part 2.
Her words are so inspiring
In city's while taking coffee we think abt tomorrow wt have to do
Now she lives in mountains, but her mood sometimes for beaches/sea
Very honest answer
Amazing. Loved watching it 👌. Waiting for the Next part 😀.
Perfectly filmed for the layman to understand the nitty-gritties of staying in the hills
City life is sort of empty, mountains is real living and connecting to nature
Yes its not easy. Its like a beautiful nature but with its harsh reality. I stayed in mountains and in different parts for 16 plus years. Now I am settled in city area... but I miss those days and nature
Blessed to be born in himachal...love mountains..❤️
You are asking good questions with proper context, nice 👍
Very inspiring Amshu, ನಿಮ್ಮ ತಪಸ್ಸಿನ ಫಲ ಸಿಹಿ ಆಗಿರಲಿ. Excellent Video !
1st time watching your channel. Very few people have that inherent quality to hook the audience without even once getting them bored- very engaging watch. 👍brave lady who settled here & found innovative ways to make a living. 👏
I'm glad you made this video. This is a fact staying even in Manali is not fancy if you have been in city, even for 2 years. You have to do all by yourself.
This is who you call an actually empowered woman. More power to you, may women like you grow in number so that we have an emancipated society soon.
Really a very nice, genuine & ever memorable, great motivational feedback.
I'm a mountain girl too...mountains and rivers gives inner peace ✌️ love this video so much ❤️
💛
It did answered some of my questions. Thank you for the story.
Btw I could see real struggle making the video and this is why youtubers or bloggers are real champ not those insta people.
As this is making a difference in someone’s life. Kudos to you Visha. These are my morning words. 😁
Thanks for bringing up the videos like this which gives us the clear vision of every perspective!! Waiting for the part - 2!!
Glad you think so! Part-2 coming this Saturday! Stay tuned :D

@@VishaKhandelwal really a very nice, genuine & ever memorable, great motivational feedback.
@@VishaKhandelwal where is the second part?
Really enjoyed your conversation, I was born in Shimla and have spent my early years there, The winters were really tough then (50 years back). But love the mountains and the life there, thank you helping people (farmers in particular) in my home state. Would be keen and happy to contribute in anyway. Best regards and wishes
Truly inspiring,, the conversation was so pleasant to hear and covering all the basics,, the best video i come across so far, the whole conversation was pretty calm and composed and thoughtful too,, thanks a ton for sharing and making this vlog.. thousand cheers

This was a fun video. From finding her house to the authentic filter coffee and unfiltered conversations. Can't wait for part 2!
Glad you liked it Eashita! Thanks for being a part of it
@@VishaKhandelwal Wow! What a very nice, genuine & ever memorable, great motivational reply.
Really a very nice, genuine, real fact & ever memorable, great motivational compliment.
I have seen immense people making a cottage in mountains but not living in there for long....u can live in their only if u love the culture
I've spent my 2-3 months in mountains. Never felt bored.

Hehe, me too :D
🙋Me too

Its beautiful story of a beautiful place...and also helpful to understand the ground level reality of moving to ⛰
Read apprenticed to a himalayan master by sri M(muntaz ali khan)
This interview was a great idea, such beautiful conversation! 💜
Glad you liked it, Sneha❤️
Population already ruined half of himachal and purity of its culture . Population~homes~deforestration~concrete jungle~burden on resources~culture . Nahan land of 9 lakes now a concrete jungle lakes were eacuated to adjust migrated population deforestration to construct homes.

Wow! What a very nice, genuine, real fact & ever memorable, great motivational compliment.
@@VishaKhandelwal very nice, genuine & ever memorable, great motivational reply.
हमारे देवभूमि की इस भूमि शुद्धि और देव-परम्पराओं का सम्मान करें, अगर यहां रहना हो !!
क्योंकि हमने बहुत देखा है कि अधिक्तर यहां बाहरी आ कर अपने बाहरी विचार थोप कर रहते है, जिसे देख कर बहुत बुरा लगता है !!
और क्या ही कहें 1000 में से कोई 2 होते है जो समझते है बाकि तो शङ्कर महाराज ही रक्षा करें !!
After a very long time, I am glad to have come across someone your energy
Eagerly waiting for part 2
Ohh you r from Bangalore not delhi ..h
Got to knw here😀..u r living dream life..always follow ur heart dearie❤️👍
metro cities chdke himachl uttarakhand jake uska bhi haal metro jaise mat karn velgarity in the name of modernity they are last places which still carry the tradition culture of india.
All the best ladies! You both are doing good. ☺️🙏🏻
Yes i have also experienced to live in mountain for two years,in Shillong,its really safe....for a woman,but at the same time its challenging too,for every small stuff you have to run yourself otherwise its nice
Still much to learn from the mountains including me... good clip
Lovely❤❤❤
Thanks for asking real life questions.
Hope she stays put even after years! Warm video ❤. Best wishes.
Addicted to your vlog 👍 keep it up
Worth it for mountains
planned to start the next phase of my life from the Himalayan range. never thought about the consequences, will never do that. I know communication will hit me, but gonna adapt it. Let's what happens
waiting for this day
Wow ❤️
You actually living in the Heaven ❤️❤️👍👍
Only two concerns stop me from moving to the mountains.... Income source and medical facilities....
Income source is truly a concern
Th@ts really a concern....me too from jnk but moved to Delhi for not so many job options there
@@akankshakalra7708 just think of this , if there are no dearth of opportunities for sustaining life in Himachal or in any hill station, then why the people of that state are moving out in search of work in other parts of the country . Being a Himachali all my friends are working in other states because there are no jobs for the skills they/we have.
@@akankshakalra7708 if one wants big income that is surely a concern but investing in some business and making good amount is not difficult. I know people who are living posh life in Bandra but want to go to
New york to make more money. Pesa kamana mushkil nahi hai bahut sara pesa kamana mushkil hai

Love the improved quality of audio 🎉🎉🎉
Happy to see a Kannadathi in Himalaya!
Waiting for the next stories..and Visha whenever you plan to shift and settle in Manali, please let me know..I want to join 😀(On a lighter note❤️)
Very soon! And haha, for sure :D
@@VishaKhandelwal very nice, genuine & ever memorable, great motivational reply.
Ur vibe is awesome in any f ur videos
We honestly are welcoming to every tourist. But damn how badly our environment and landscape has changed over the years because of this over commercialisation ! Somewhere we want this to be stopped ! Especially the over construction of guest houses/ airbnbs. Flats for outsiders who barely stay for a few weeks here ! At this pace Himachal will be nothing more than a mountain of concrete jungle ! Shimla being a good example !
money is not everything finally all of us are realizing this.
I was born 300 kms from manali it is easy for me to live there as compared to city folks.
Awesome
Thanks thapasu .......love,honour for you.from ban
My grand father migrated from Himachil pardaish. I have special love for the place

How To Live In Harmony With Nature And Reduce Pollution
1. Many Production Which We Do Not Need Actually For Human Beings Has To Be Stopped
We manufacture so many products and it is creating pollution. So if we minimise our products, pollution would be less.
We produce so many things which we do not need, like cold drinks, leather products, potato wafers, chips, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc.
Cold drinks, fruit juices, pickles, ice creams, etc. Should be cooked at home only.
If we stopped producing this things which are not required for humans, so much pollution could be reduced.
If we colour the clothes pollution occurs. So if we don't colour our clothes, the pollution resulting from colouring the clothes can be stopped. Let everything remain in natural colour.
2. We Should Cook Foods In Its Natural Form
We can cook rice and wheat in our homes and eat it. Rice and Wheat is produced in farms. Then it is packed and transported to big warehouses, then wholesalers buy from them and supply to retail shops.
But if a manufacturing company makes bread from rice and wheat, then to make bread a manufacturing company has to be set up, machines and working staffs are needed. When a company is built many other things are also needed. Then at last a plastic pack is required to pack the breads.
So if we start cooking eatable things in its natural form then we do not need many companies like bread manufacturing company, tomato ketchup, noodles, fruit jam, pizza, burger, etc., the things required for the company and the plastic pack, paper box pack and glass bottles. If done like this, so many companies will not be required and hence less pollution for the world.
Also we could save our money like this. If you buy a packet of bread, it would cost you more money than if you cook wheat and rice in home.
Previously before industrial revolution, we didn't have technology, but our foods were rich with nutrients. Now we have technology, but technology is polluting our foods and our foods are not rich with nutrients, and because of that also we have health problems.
If this is done, then many jobs would be lost. For that many peoples should do farming and they should be given loans if they do not have enough money to start farming on their own.
Food, Medicines, Surgeries and Education's should be made free to the world till the world settles down with farming. After that food, medicines, surgeries and education's should be stopped free to the world.
Many people should study botany subject so that they have knowledge of plants and they should do farming.
Is their any another solution, that humans won't lose jobs and also pollution would decrease. Humans have to take this step certainly instead of going on polluting the earth, making wildlife extinct and also mass extinctions of humans in future.
3. Electricity Pollution
We create electricity from many types of sources like coal, water, etc., but it creates pollution. If electricity created from windmill and solar energy then no pollution occurs in the creation process. But still to manufacture windmill and solar machines pollution would occur.
As I previously said that if we shut down many manufacturing companies which are producing things which are not needed for humans, then the world would not require so much electricity. If less electricity required, then less pollution generated.
4. Could We Stop Drinking Cow's and Buffalo's Milk
Whatever vitamins and nutrients we get from milk, if we can get it from other eatable things, then we can stop drinking cow's and buffalo's milk. As milk has to be packed in glass bottles and plastic packs and then transported to places. All of this can be stopped.
For infants whose mother's have died or mother's who cannot breast feed their infants, only for them cow's and buffalo's milk should be given. We use milk in tea and coffee. Instead of milk we must use lime with tea and coffee or just plain tea and coffee. A lime should be cut into a few pieces and cooked with tea and coffee or something else can be used instead of lime.
5. How Much Should Be The World's Population
Every place should have a single house. No buildings, everything ground floor. If we do this and the whole lands of our planet earth would be occupied one day with homes, farms, forests, schools, hospitals, etc., then we would come to know how much our planet earth can have maximum population.
Once the population is determined, then we have to maintain that population. For example if our earth can have a population of 10 billion peoples, then when the population reaches 10 billion, then everyone should have only one child till the population reaches 9 billion peoples. As if we have only one child then the population decreases. When population is 9 billion peoples, then everyone should have 2 children's till the population reaches 10 billion peoples. After that again we should have only one child. In this way population can be maintained.
Who decides which piece of land you can build on? How much do you pay on average? What’s the minimum outlay ($/rupees) to pay for materials, to be transported , people to design /build on the land, etc. ?
I am born and brought up in Shimla. I can't imagine living elsewhere in India
wow very nice vlog didi........
Thank you! :D
First like and view
Thanks for this support! I appreciate it :D
Himachal is best state to travel across India
Vry inspiring

Which place is this and how far from Manali ...?
Two beautiful ladies and a beautiful conversation.
English is the national language of india
There is no national language. Seventeen languages are listed in the constitution. You can say English is lingua franca.
Nice🙏🙏🙏❤️
you talk good... nice voice n way you speak.
