Malari Uttarakhand: World Heritage Village

Malari Uttarakhand, though a very tiny and remote place in Uttarakhand, is surrounded by lush green mountains that are stunning and overpowering in their beauty. The green riverside valley with its own share of the roaring waterfall makes it the perfect destination for travelers who love nature & solitude.
The village is named after the small stream that flows by the village. The stream is called Malari Uttarakhand and the name of the village is Malari Uttarakhand. The village is now home to a select few people who have chosen to remain in the beautiful mountains of Uttarakhand.

This isolation also leads to the unavailability of basic amenities such as medical facilities for a few months during this period but local people have learned to manage and improvise by moving forward into villages close to Rishikesh where medical help can be sought till spring arrives again in Malari.

Natives of Malari Uttarakhand

The residents of Malari are the Indo-Mongolian tribes known as Bhotia (the scheduled tribes of Uttarakhand). Interestingly, the quaint village with its few homes has fairly well-to-do inhabitants. The natives depend on survival by cultivating medicinal herbs that are sold to pharmaceutical companies.
