Local Culture and Handicrafts of Mana Village

Standing tall at 3,200 meters in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, Mana Village has the distinction of being India’s first village on the Indo-Tibet border. Apart from its picturesque Himalayan landscape, Mana is a living museum of heritage. When you’re there, you don’t merely gaze at mountains—you encounter humans who preserve ancient weaving techniques, wool craft, and affectionate practices alive.
