The air genuinely feels cleaner here than lower elevation towns. The pace naturally slows down. The orchard lifestyle adds warm local character that tourism hasn't commercialized yet.When apple season arrives in September and October, the entire region transforms. Families work together picking fruit from sunrise to sunset.Trucks lined with wooden crates wait for daily loads. Small sorting sheds buzz with activity. The whole area smells like fresh apples mixed with pine. Children help sort apples by size after school. It's agricultural life at its most honest.Most locals here are originally from nearby villages and have been farming apples for generations. They know which varieties grow best at which altitude. They understand weather patterns from years of watching clouds. When you stay at homestays, hosts often share apple farming stories over dinner.Food is hearty and mountain style. Simple thalis with dal, sabzi, rice, and fresh rotis. Thick parathas stuffed with seasonal vegetables or potatoes. Rajma chawal that tastes better at high altitude.Comforting warm meals that hit perfectly on cold evenings. Homestay aunties make siddu, the local steamed bread, if you ask ahead. Some places serve apple dishes during harvest season: apple chutney, apple halwa, even apple pakoras.In the hills, food isn't about fancy menus or Instagram presentations. It's about warmth, freshness made with care, and a peaceful table where conversation happens naturally. The best meals here are ones eaten slowly while watching mist roll through valleys outside your window.
