A white Maruti Suzuki Gypsy car passes through a narrow road in Solang Valley in Himachal Pradesh. A Dhaba can be seen along side the road. Himachali people along with a flock of sheep and Himalayan goats walk on a hilly road. Human migration based on seasons is common in agricultural circles. In many cases, humans along with their cattle or sheep move to lower /higher elevations based on the seasons. A prime example of this migration in our country are the Gaddi Shepherds. Located at a distance of 13 km from Manali, Solang Valley lies between Solang village and Beas Kund. It offers a beautiful view of glaciers and snow capped mountains. Since the valley has fine ski slopes, it is a perfect place for skiing. The guest house of the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Mountaineering and Allie
