Niti Valley tour is a tour to less explored destination and full of beautiful attractions and landscapes. Niti valley also known as Ladakh of Uttarakhand. Niti Valley is a valley located in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand state of India. This valley is close to the Chinese border and is the last village in India before the Niti Pass and it has been a center of handloom textiles. The rock cut roads like in kinnuar valley and Dhouli Ganga river makes this jouney beautiful. Winter season is heavy snowfall here so people sift to Joshimath, Gopeswar, Chamoli during this season and again summer season they sift to here. There are so many places to explore in this valley but some places restricted due to border area with China, we need to get pass from District administration to visit last border area.

Niti Valley

The villagers of Malari and Niti are traditional craftsmen and their economy is largely dependent on the production of handloom textiles. But, due to the young generation turning away from sheep rearing, this traditional industry is now shrinking. Apart from this, the villagers do agriculture. Mainly potato, kidney beans, amaranth, fafar etc. crops are produced, but due to the long distance to the market and high freight, they do not get enough profit from them. There is a holy cave in Niti Valley named Holy Cave Timmarsain Mahadev, it is exactly like Amarnath Shivling, devotees come here in large numbers, it is close to Niti village and access after trekking 1Km.

Malari is the largest village in the Niti Valley, which is located at an altitude of 10,200 feet above sea level. To reach this village, one has to cover a distance of 63 km on the Malari-Niti highway from Joshimath, the main stop on the Badrinath Yatra route. Sumna and Barahoti areas located on the China border are just 60 km from here. Currently, around 400 families live here, whose population is around 1,800. The sun of hope has now started shining in Malari and Niti of Niti Valley. There is a lot of potential for tourism in the area but the influx of tourists is very low. Work is being done to revive the village.
