Away from the Crowds: A Day in Kingal and Kotla

Hello hive family. I hope you all are healthy.

my granny's house

Today I go to Kingal although it is not a tourist place. I like such places where there is less human habitation.

I take a bus from Narkand in the morning. I prefer to travel mostly in public transport. The distance from Narkanda to Kingal is 43 kilometers.

After reaching Kingal, I go to Kotla. My grandmother's house is in Kotla. This is a small house where no one lives. Kingal to Kotla is a three kilometer walk. While walking, I rest on a high peak and wait for my uncle's son. The view looks very beautiful from here. Kingal Bazaar is completely visible from here. The Himalayan Mountains and Sutlej River are visible in front.

Just then my maternal uncle's son arrives and we head towards my grandmother's house. We drink tea as soon as we reach home. After drinking tea, I go for a walk in the fields. Because we have to sow peas here tomorrow, I will also see which field will be suitable for sowing. After that I take some photographs at this place and go to the nearby village to buy pea seeds.

After purchasing the seeds, we carry the digging machine to the field with difficulty because of the narrow roads in the mountains, this is a difficult task. Somehow we took the machine to the field. As soon as it is evening, we collect wood and burn it in the stove and start cooking.

I found a mat in this house which was made of namkeen wrappers. Earlier people used garbage to make mats and today people spread garbage anywhere. We don't know how to use things.
