Traditional Horse Herding in Pin Valley/Spiti | Story of Todnam - 5/6

The Chamurti is a small mountain pony almost exclusively found in Pin Valley. Also known as the Spiti Pony, it is one of the 6 recognised horse breeds of India. What makes the Chamurti special is that it is one of the few natural “pacers” in the horse world. It trots side to side on its laterals rather than diagonals enabling the rider to sit comfortably for hours at a time.
Almost every family in Pin Valley is involved in the Chamurti business. The villagers work together as a community to raise these horses in typical Pin valley fashion.

Personally, I feel that places such as Todnam should remain pure and untouched by tourism. But the villagers feel otherwise and feel left out of the tourism boom that places like Mudh experience. It is not really my place to stand in the way of their aspirations.
If you like to visit Todnam then please get in touch with my friend Nawang Tanzin. It is his dream to open the first homestay in the village. His number is 94186 02537. This is the most I can do and I feel guilty for doing this. Please do not comment/message me asking for more details about the village.

    These videos have limited appeal. Even for the run of the mill travellers. So im not surprised that the channel hasn't taken off like I hoped it will. Also I need to keep working on the quality of my videos and make them more engaging. Even this video, I uploaded 2 versions of it as I felt that the first version dragged a bit too long. I need to avoid such mistakes and get it right the first time.
