Description

Malana is an ancient village in Himachal Pradesh, it is located on a remote plateau behind mountain passes at an altitude of approximately 2650 m above sea level and is isolated from the rest of the world. The inhabitants of Malana have preserved their traditions and way of life and strictly adhere to it. The villagers speak their own language kanashi. There are about 1700 native speakers of this language.

The residents of Malana believe that they are descendants of the Greek soldiers of the army of Alexander the Great, who invaded these places in 326-325 BC. The appearance of the villagers really differs from the typical appearance of a resident of Himachal Pradesh.

Visiting Malana you should strictly follow the local rules: do not touch anyone, including children, do not touch the homes and property of local residents. Do not go into the temple or the store. The locals consider it a desecration to touch a white person, and if you break their rules, you will face a large fine, which will go to buy a goat to sacrifice it and thereby purify theirselves.
