Rajgundha Valley

If you go to this valley via Billing then you reached Rajgundha placed first then after Kukkar Gundha Comes. If you go via Barot Valley then your first destination will be Kukkar Gundha. Because the peoples of these villages spend here 7 to 8 months and other months they spend in their second location.

Because there is a lot of snowfall happening in the winter season so it’s tough to survive because they also need to take care of their animals like cows, goats, sheep, etc. They will start visiting here again after the winter ends. The main crops here growing are Kidney Beans(Rajmah), Potato, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Peas, Raddish, Red Cabbage, etc. The main source of income for the Rajgundha people is agriculture and wages. All people of Rajgundha are very hard-working, friendly, and honest.
