Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: The Himalayan Village (fig. 1) is situated in Kasol, at
the foothills of the famous Malana Village, the oldest democ-
racy in the world. It is just 10 km short of Manikaran, famous
for its hot water springs, right on the banks of the ice cold
River Parvati. The climate here is pleasant, mild and generally
warm and temperate with snow fall. (fig. 2) The valley is full
of adventurous treks through flower valleys, thick flora and
fauna, clear waterfalls, rivers in the serene Parvati valley, the
tapo bhoomi of Lord Shiv Shambhoo. Tourists are attracted
to the scenic valley for its untouched natural beauty, low pop-
ulation and great climate throughout the year. Kasol is also a
base for trekking to Sar Pass, Pin Parbati Pass and Khirigan-
ga. The village has a thick deodar forest as the crown and the
River Parvati at its foot. The mountains are made of craggy
black granite with snow-covered peaks. This forms an ideal
backdrop for nature lovers .
