NEED OF PROJECT( SITE VALIDATION)

Princely state of Mandi was founded by Bahu Sen in 1200 AD. But Ajbar Sen was the one who founded historical city of Mandi in 1526 AD. Janjehli village located around
98.4km from Mandi is loved by trekker and nature lover alike. The valley adorned by snow during winters, is no less than heaven on the earth. The art lovers must have
glimpses of traditional wood carving and metal work. Visit to Janjehli is not complete without having blessing of Shikari Mata. Budha Kedar is situated at an altitude of
9000 feet Budha Kedar can be visited by trekking a distance of 4 Kms from HPTDC Trekker’s Hostel at Kataroo near Janjehli. The place is endowed with natural beauty.
Deodar trees, streams of crystal clear water attract the tourists.

At present, Janjehli and Thunag areas lack proper hotels, infrastructure and community facilities needed to encourage the tourists to visit the area. Only few small Hotels
and Home stay facilities are available in area mostly concentrated around Janjehli.

The present road is being upgraded and widened. With the completion of road widening more tourists are expected to visit the area. The area is bestowed with abundant
natural beauty and acts as base station of Trekkers.

It serves the local people of mandi district.
