Didna Village Houses, Uttarakhand

Remote from markets that could supply building materials, the villages in the mountainous tracts of the Himalayas resort to locally available material for buildings and other purposes. The video here shows some of the stone and mud built houses from the village of Didna, situated on the slopes of the Himalayan foothills in the Chamoli district of the State of Uttarakhand, India.

The Himalayan village of Didna is passed by trekkers on their way to destinations higher in the Himalayan mountain range like Roopkhund (a mountain lake), Junargali Pass and Ronti Saddle.
