Bansuli Sera Lagga Rauderi Cho Village
Pauri Garhwal,
Uttarakhand
If you want to see Uttarakhand in its uncooked, peaceful form, Bansuli Sera Lagga Rauderi Cho is one of these small hamlets that quietly sit at the hillsides of Dhumakot tehsil in
Pauri Garhwal. It’s a village that doesn’t make noise, doesn’t rush, and doesn’t attempt to be a traveller destination, and maybe that’s why it feels so refreshing.
The agreement is small, spread over only some hectares, with around 14 households and fewer than 60 people. It’s the form of location wherein all people are aware of every other, where everyday lifestyles follow the rhythm of farming, forests, and mountain climate.
Arriving in the Village
The avenue to the village curves through pine and is very well forested. As you climb higher, the air gets cooler, the winds softer, and the arena quieter. When you finally step into Bansuli Sera Lagga Rauderi Cho, you see narrow pathways, simple homes, and terraced fields stretching across slopes.
Morning mist often hugs the ridges here. Birds call from the bushes. Someone is lighting fixtures in a wood-fired chulha, and the odour of smoke mixes with soil and pine. You’ll listen to cowbells and faint voices from nearby homes, and from time to time, nothing in any respect, just silence that feels pure.
Afternoons carry warm sunlight to the terraces. Evenings flip the hills golden, and nights are starry and calm. It’s the sort of quiet that remains with you.

Local Life & Culture
People here rely upon small-scale farming. You’ll see fields of seasonal grains, patches of green veggies, and farm animals grazing quietly. Food is straightforward and healthy: daal-chawal, rotis made from nearby grains, village-grown sabzi, and chai made on a timber fireside.
Conversations show up in Garhwali and Hindi. Neighbours greet each other warmly. Evenings are spent outside; kids play at the slopes, and elders share memories because the sky darkens.
