Someshwar Homestay Gangi - Vijay Singh Negi- 9557935280 India's Last Village - The Loan Village Gangi Nestled in the beautiful valleys of Uttarakhand is a village that once used to lend money. This may sound strange to you, but it's true. Located in Bhilangana, a border development block of Tehri district, lies a remarkable village with its own distinct cultural identity. The people of this village used to lend money to other valleys, with Kedarghati being a prominent area. Gangi village is located about 50 km from Ghansali. Situated at an altitude of approximately 2700 meters above sea level, Gangi has been blessed with precious treasures by nature. Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Make Gangi a Loan Village Gangi village is renowned for its farming and animal husbandry. Gangi is the only village in the entire Bhilangana valley with the largest cultivable land, and you'll find a large number of sheep, goats, cows, and buffaloes in every household. The ancestors of Gangi village used to live on a meager income. Gradually, they began lending money on interest, accumulating through savings. Gradually, this village evolved into a loan village. Gangi village is surrounded by precious forest wealth. Gangi village is nestled in the lap of the Himalayas. Surrounded by natural beauty and dense forests, this village is not only famous for potato, amaranth, and kidney bean cultivation, but the climate and cool Himalayan breezes make you feel like you're in a different world. The forest surrounding Gangi village is home to numerous tree species, including oak, rhododendron, kharsu, moru, thuner, pangar, rai, and murenda. This area is also a paradise for wildlife, with black bears, brown bears, Himalayan thar, musk deer, monal, bharal, sambar, and barasingha found in the forests. Furthermore, it holds a treasure trove of herbs. Cultivated land is not limited to Gangi village but also spreads across several hamlets. The residents of Gangi also cultivate in Reeh, Nalan, Devkhuri, and Lwani hamlets, and their farms are located there. Due to sheep rearing, they live here temporarily throughout the year, or rather, live a nomadic life. Highest Lending in Kedar Valley The people of Gangi village have lent the largest amount of money in the form of loans in Kedar Valley. From Kedarnath to markets like Gaurikund, Sonprayag, Trijuginarayan, Sitapur, and Guptkashi, many hotels, restaurants, horse and mule dealers, and small and large businesses have been borrowing from Gangi village. The lending process is also peculiar, with only Lord Someshwar as a witness. The people of this village have lent money not only in Kedar Valley but also in Gangotri and Bhilangana valleys. Gangi villagers say that after the Kedarnath tragedy, most people are now refusing to repay the money they borrowed on interest. Many people's money is stuck in various places. Gangi village has a centuries-old connection with Kedar Valley. There is still a walking route from Gangi village to Trijuginarayan and Kedarnath, and from Gangi, one can reach the Gangotri Valley via the Khatling Glacier. The villagers of Gangi also used to trade with Tibet in the past. No accounting, no written agreement, just... An ancient temple of Lord Someshwar is located in the center of the village. Before lending money, a lamp is lit in the courtyard of this temple and Lord Someshwar is considered a witness. Before the Kedarnath tragedy, everything was going well, but after that, the entire situation of this village changed. For years, our ancestors had lent money to the businessmen of Kedar Valley, but the earthquake destroyed many people's hotels, lodges, horses, and mules. Now, the principal and interest payments of Gangi's moneylenders have stopped. The moneylenders went to Kedar Valley several times to get their money, but they had to return empty-handed. After the devastation in Kedar Valley in 2013, the villagers of Gangi were also directly affected. It is said that the people of Gangi were already connected to Kedar Valley. Gangi was connected to that valley not only through business but also through social ties, but after the disaster, they too are reluctant to repay loans. website- www.hillvani.com Contact with Hillvani Sudarshan Singh Kaintura Mobile No. 7895183447 [email protected] Facebook Page- @hillvani Instagram- HillVani UK Twitter- @HillVani_UK Koo- @HillVani_UK If you would like to support us, please contact: SUDARSHAN SINGH KAINTURA BANK- ICICI BANK A/C - 695401504069 IFSC CODE- ICIC0006954 GOOGLE PAY NO. 7895183447 #uttarakhand #hillstation #homestay #lifestyle #culture #re...
