Jadung Village (Nelong Valley) and Ongoing Homestay Construction
Located in Uttarkashi, around 16 km from Nelong Valley, Jadung village (3,834 m) was once home to the Jadh Bhotiya community. Even today, ruins of old houses can still be seen.
Currently, GMVN is building a few homestays in Jadung, which are expected to be completed by August. It is being said that these homestays may later be handed over to local residents, possibly on a lease basis.
Nelong Valley has been accessible to the public for the past few years, and visitors are required to obtain an Inner Line Permit to enter the valley. This year, Jadung has also been opened to tourists, and an Inner Line Permit is required there as well.
Both Jadung and Nelong are located within Gangotri National Park. Every year, the park usually remains closed from November 30 to April 1.
However, this year the government is planning to keep the valleys open during winters as well. During the winter season, entry will remain regulated, with only 20 vehicles and 100 tourists allowed inside the park per day.
Let's see how the local tourism department will preserve the valley and improve the livelihoods of Jadh bhotiyas.

Suggest me and please help me .
Hey everyone,
I’m a Garhwali looking for suggestions for genuinely offbeat places in Uttarakhand where I can spend some time away from crowds and noisy tourist spots.
Suggest me places with:
- beautiful mountain views
- rivers/streams to sit or bathe near
- forests and nearby bugyals/meadows
- authentic village life
- small local markets
- warm locals and peaceful atmosphere
- low tourism/commercialization
Not looking for cafés, resorts, or crowded hill stations. I’d rather experience real mountain life, explore hidden places, stay around locals for a few days, and disconnect from city routine.
Please suggest hidden villages/areas in Kumaon or remote Garhwal that match this vibe.
Also, if possible, do share contacts of trustworthy locals who can help with stay/guidance, or connect me with any young local who’d be open to showing nearby rivers, bugyals, trails, villages, etc. 🙏

Harshil Valley or Dharmkot/ MacLeodganj
It’ll be my first trip with friends, which feels mildly historic because I’ve only ever travelled with family before. I’m also really exhausted right now, so I’m looking for a place where I can explore as well as rest. So far we’ve narrowed it down to two options: Harsil Valley or Dharmkot, since both are roughly the same distance from Delhi.
Can you guys pleaseee suggest which one would be better?
