Pulga.

Manikaran, 16-04-1994. Like in Vashisht there is quite a chilam and charras culture in Manikaran. The beautiful trek to Pulga, a small village full with long term visitors and 14 km. from Manikaran was very nice and took me through some wild and rugged parts of Parvati Valley-as they call this valley. A small village, the ocasional bunch of small kids, a few local women in ragged clothes that were suposed to be tradional i believe, looking after their cattle, goats and sheep and strong looking but not very tall, black cows and bulls were all i saw on my trek to Pulga. Did see some rhesus macaque and Hanuman monkeys but they were much more shy as in other parts of India.
