The Ganga Flows Through Himachal & We Snow Hiked to the Origin!

- We decided to explore the south eastern edge of Himachal known as the Upper Shimla Area in January 2024.
First up we visited the grand Darbargarh of Kotkhai which is a stunning feat of Himachali Architecture. We then drove from Village Kiari to Kharapathar via Deorighat. While driving on this completely off road trail we experienced the first snowfall of the season which was completely unexpected!
The next day we met up with Pranav Rawat, a mountaineer and an apple farmer, and drove up to the temples of Giri Ganga and hiked up in snow to the meadows of Kuppad/Kuppar where the source of the Giri Ganga river is.

Hi Ronnie and Barty, namaste ji...Absolute marvel presentation,cinematography, narration,background music, skills to use camera...I am a bit doggy why people have not seen your work. Truely amazing ....keep up the good work couple, hope to see people see what you do..
*dodgy...sorry for typo🤣...didn't meant doggy literally..... laughing now
Ur watching and we truly appreciate it and that’s more than enough for us 😃🙏🏼
Hey guy amazing work
You guys come up with a good story and even the unexplored places.
Keep going ✨
Amazing work, when will you upload the chanshal visit, I am very curious to see my place in your videos 💙💙
I'm 21M and I'm so into trekking and hiking, that's why I watch foreign youtubers just to get that bliss before sleeping but I just found out your channel and its so mesmerizing to watch the scenic beauty of our own country. The tranquillity is just so relaxing. Love it. Thanks for showing it. :D
It's so pleasant to see how Barty has caught that Himachali twang. The journey of that over the years has been so blissful to watch and to listen.
It's unfortunate that despite good roads leading all the way to Kharapatthar, and despite it being as close to Shimla as it is, this part still hasn't got its due attention.
Beautifully crafted video narrative as always, R&B. Thanks for making yet another morning for us viewers and followers.
I consider it a good fortune that the tourism hasn't reached this beautiful place yet in the way it has reached Manali. I spent 7 years in Manali and the pace of destruction of nature in that place due to tourism is nothing to be happy or feel fortunate about.
Not only the Manali urban areas where non-stop construction is going on but also the upper parts of Manali are heavily affected due to tourism. The tree poachers have literally wiped out entire areas of forests and where there used to be dense, beautiful forests not too long ago now stand hundreds and hundreds of slaughtered tree trunks. From the outside and from a distance, it appears there still are beautiful forests up there but entering the forests is a different story altogether.
There are way more selfish and greedy people than there are people who actually love nature and the government is asleep about it. I didn't know about this place before but seeing how beautiful it is, I pray tourism never reaches it the way it has reached and destroyed other beautiful natural places.
I meant it only on the lines that tourism also is a boon to some locals who can monetise their properties and improve their own standard of living. Yes, the way irresponsible tourism ruins towns and the ecology around is a whole other debate, and not one I'm getting into here. Cheers.
Even European tourist destinations like Italy and Amsterdam are affected by over tourism today. What’s the solution?
Greetings!! Ronnie and barty ... I'm literally thankfull to you guys for covering my hometown and tranquill places across Kotkhai (my hometown ❤). While sitting in Delhi i got to know things about my own place that even i wasn't much aware. Trust me guys you both are lucky enough to explore this area during snowfall, this is the best time to travel here. I wish i could meet you😞. Literally i felt so nostalgic and I'm grateful to you guys. This area is still unexplored because sad thing is that locals don't promote own culture and area ( I've experienced this). It is not only the area but culture and tradition of the area is also as beautiful as the locus. Genuinely you, Mr. Rawat and your entire team deserves a salute 🫡
Thankyou 🥹
Great views and an insight into my birth state which nobody shows. Thanks Ronnie and Barty for all the things you do and bring us such lovely and astounding beauties!
Glad you enjoyed it 😃👍
Well... Another exhilarating experience through the videos..
But the best part for me was when I heard some pahadi accent through barty in her expressions.. and it was just too subtle and natural.. also picking up some slang like "dekhi jayegi" and apprehended with some fabulous camera work as well.
I certainly do feel a connection as an artist.
God bless you both.
Ronie and Barty
Aap dono ko Andaja bhi nai hai ki log aapse kitna pyar karte hain.
Thanks for visiting our city
Love from Shimla ❤
so happy to see you guys in my hometown. I am from Purag, Kotkhai. He is right there isn't much tourism here. Most of the people from the plains don't even know what exists beyond Kufri. And it is good in a way that the nature is still intact here. There are so many hidden gems: camping sites, trek trails, rivulets, springs and what not. Hope to see more of the Upper Shimla Area in your vlogs !
It is great to see that people are exploring places in our hometown... Kupper is a great place..... Loved your video... Please keep posting videos frequently we are always excited to watch 🕉
Perfect way to start a cold Friday morning with tea and your video 🙌
Thank you Ronnie & Barty for showing us the unexplored path of India. I've been watching your videos for the last two and half years and I'm glad that I found you so early.
I love mountains and filmmaking. One of my dreams is to work with you guys on a project and I'm focusing on reaching that level. Thank you for motivating so many people. Love you 💗
Hi guys, I'm from Jubbal (neighboring place to Kotkhai), it feels soo good to see you both exploring this area. Way to go guys, still alot more to explore here. To see our region from your camera and perspective is just 🤌🏼.
Guys it feel so good to know that you people were able to feel what it is truly like to be in real mountains, i'm native to this place, and all of these mountains and valley's are so nostalgic. ❤😊
Watching these videos from Ronnie & Barty takes me to the Himalayas and I promise myself that I'll come to visit Himalayas this year again. Simply stunning
🏔🏔🏔
Lovely video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bharti’s giri ganga story narration was super cute 😂
I spent my childhood in Kothkhai and Khadapathar used to be our picnic spot over weekends. You reminded me of all my childhood memories with your beautiful story ❤ See we are connected somehow 😊😇
Thankyou for this video..as always cried with joy in the end🥺 thankyouuuu so much again
Extra special mention for the eng subtitles for hindi dialogues.. We non hindi indians are thankful
In 2000s my father was posted in Khadapathar and Jubbal area for about 6 years. We’ve spent every summer and winter vacation there, they are beautiful places ❤
That's so nice to hear? :)
I'm from Kharapathar btw. It's one of the nature's unexplored marvels! :p
1988to 1993 I worked in kharapatter people of this area are very very good Still I have so many people of this area are Very close of my heart ❤
Being from upper Shimla Rampur ....I feel really happy seeing you guys exploring the beauty of the district ....Yes not much discovered but yet very aesthetic
When it ended, I was like arey khatam bhi ho gaya!! This was so soothing to watch!! ❤
Namaste Ji!
I want you to THANK YOU for being on CZcams and showing us such beautiful things!!🙏
You are the best Vloggers in India at the current date, your videos have a certain simplicity that you and only you can manage to showcase in such an amazing manner. Hats off !!!
I can go on writing an essay on how beautiful your videos have been since the start, but voh thoda lamba ho jayega 😅😂
Once again Thank you!!🤝🤜🤛
So nice of you .. we truly appreciate it !
I guess its Kupar peak instead of kuppad 😅😂 .
@@doopey890pronounced kuppad but written kuppar on maps .. 😊
Just like the place , Ronnie and Barty are also lowkey. This channel deserves more love and appreciation 🙌
The visuals are a gift.Soulful music.Your (both) voices just blend in with the peaceful serene environment you capture.Thanks for making it a special day.
Difficult not to love anything you guys post, but this is truly awesome
How earthy you guys are, You are really blessed to see this beauty in your life time.
I was so much into the video and paying attention towards music, scene change and the beauty of Khadapather. I am feeling divine after watching this video. A big thank you for showing this to us.
This man deserves much more!
Promoting offbeat destinations of Himachal that's really great..
Next you should hike shikari devi wildlife sanctuary.
Sure will do .. 😊
Very nice
Good thing tha u show importation things not all that ki hum yaha pe ruke ye khaya wo khaya, abhi hum ready ho chuke hai jaane k liye.
Very nice films.
I wanna know which cameta and glass u use for this video.
Seriously, the story was too cute Giri Ganga 😍
Guys when I see your blog, I feel like I am watching a beautiful movie...beautiful locations, beautiful music..beautiful photography...Keep it up guys..you are class apart.
wow ❤
Pranav’s sweet voice and Barty’s concept clear Giri Ganga Story ; )
Each video gives me a reason to settle down in my own state. Thanks
Hi Guys.... I have been a fan of your work since Ronny made Way Back Home videos.... Had long hair...and slight foreign accent😅....
Just wanted to say that your work is really good.... Keep it up....i wish to see your work getting acclaimed at the highest levels ❤
Absolutely stunning Camera Work here. You guys are always good with the Framing but man this is some serious work. Maza a gaya yaar.
And also the last Music Piece was so apt for the moment. The moment the Viola kicked in I felt it deep inside. This is one of those Videos that I did not want to end.
P.S - I Shazamed the Track and got the Artist name. Think I have a lot to listen to eh. Cheers !!
By far one of the finest vlog makers , Namaste ji RONNIE and BARTY 😊
Thanks a lottt . I was waiting for for the video. You guyz have spoiled me. Apke videos dekhne ke baad kuchh aur dekhne ka mann hi nahi karta hai. And the way you guys present things is just amazing. Bhai yar i am almost feeling guilty after watching cuz I feel mujhe ye sab dekhne ke paise dene chahiye. You both are blessing in the form of human beings . nasmaste ji
And yes The event behind the giri ganga is really cute 😘
An absolute masterpiece! The breathtaking landscapes of Shimla combined with your incredible cinematography skills truly transported me to another world (specially that last stretch to the top). Can't wait to see what other hidden gems you uncover! Loved it !!
so when you do this hike on a clear day... you get to see panoramic views of all the high mountains... already trying to see when we can go back again to catch a glimpse of that...
You making Himachal more stunning through ur presentation….Super ji..❤
So I'm currently posted at kharapathar.. And i always wanted you guys to explore upper shimla.. And when you posted this video it just felt so good.. Shame that i wasn't able to met you when u were in kharapathar.. Could have been a fan moment for me.. Maybe some other day. And kudos to make such beautiful video ❤
@ronnie&Barty Namaste Ji.. always loved what you both are doing and always admired Ronnie's camera angles and Drone shots.... Always learning from you both.. Love From Tawang Arunachal Pradesh
R&B, Very Beautifully shot video with very soothing background music...❤
You guys are a real movie maker. The end of the video made me emotional and teary eyes. Never watched such an art on CZcams or anywhere online yet. Keep growing. Love you guys ❤
We truly appreciate it Rahul 🙏🏼😃
Channel named 'Himalayan Roads' introduced this Kharapathar to me and this drive from Shimla is just wow in light snow
Photography and presentation par excellence!
Namaste Ji....🙏
Ronnie Mera Bhai...What n How can You be so Spontaneous ?
Bro...U Nailed it Once Again !!!
N...ha..Barty is Turning Out to be a Good Presenter👍
Hi Ronnie and Barty...
firstly a bigggg thank you for covering our side of Himachal. It's fairly unexplored even today...
Nostalgia set in while watching this beautiful vlog :)
I have a special place for kharapathar as I'm a localite working in Mumbai.
In 2021, I did my first ever trek to kuppad and giri ganga peak with two of my besties from Mumbai.
It was an experience of a lifetime.
You guys captured the trek and the essence of the place so beautifully.
I always wanted the world to see this Trek.
Thank you 🙌❤️
Hey Ronnie and Barty😊..thank you so much for this beautifully crafted and presented video. And a thoughtful expression of soulful music in the background blending so well with the visuals especially by the end of the video. I have been listening to this blissful track which plays at the end back to back like a song😃, and every time my eyes get moist listening to this masterpiece. That’s the power of music. Would really love to know the name of the track that was played at the end. What a cute narration of a cute story by Barty.. if history classes had such narration, then everyone would pass😃. Cheers guys😊👍🏻
Such amazing plaxe and such amazing presentation. Would be great to meet you guys in person or infact someday go on a hike with you guys. U guys seem to be perfect example of finding your own path wale. Away from any bhagam bhag of this world

Wah! Kafi sundar!
Ah I wish I was living your lives. Always makes me happy and warm especially when it’s a warm day finally in Sikkim after cold gloomy days.
And yes love love love Namaste ji 🙏🏼😊
I really longed to experience such things in my life, but I'm stuck here in Delhi chasing materialistic pursuits 😢. Watching this video brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing such amazing places that we might never get to see in person❤.
Always wait for your vlog.... Namaste Ji...🙏
glad to see you guys again on screen!!!!
Hi Ronnie and Barty I just love you guys.Your videos are awesome. You do the place justice with your videos. I recommend visiting Churdhar once.

So beautiful! Barty saying namaste ji and the way she said giri ganga aiyooo, too cute! Loved the video overall, also i found the location reallllly prettty, i am surely gonna visit! Literally had no clue about this location♥️ Beautiful video, perfect landscapes, so much love for Ronnie & Barty🌷
Literally Magic! Absolutely magical, that cinematography & music, especially towards the end! Hooked on to you guys since that Gulmarg video that just popped up randomly thanks to the algorithm of CZcams. It just made us fall in love with your channel. We love the mountains and want to settle down there in a few years and literally whenever I think of them, I think of Ronnie & Barty! We hope to meet you guys someday in person and would love to have a beautiful conversation up in the mountains while it’s snowing, exactly how it is in your videos! 😊❤️
Another Beautiful Story and Amazing untouched place and great way of putting it. Thank you for sharing Ronnie Sir and Barty Ma'am.

What a pleasant sight to the eyes. Loved every bit of it. May we get a chance someday to meet you guys in person.
I m positive that this video can proof more beneficial for promoting Giri Ganga as a tourist place than any of the govt's publicity.
Lovely! So glad your videos on hidden Himachal gems are back 😊
Ganga is consciousness who pure like child of universe which has menifested as water on this earth, that is why she is worshhiped its more than water.
How good the tone of the keys at the end. Seriously im so settled with the tone
How you guys do it. Man, you guys are way ahead of vlogging. This is class apart. Something like a Travel Documentary for an elite channel.
Love your Work..
A warm hug to you Barty . I've tears in my eyes, for every scene and every word is from the heart. Spectacular as always!
Beautiful as always. You guys have made me an addict. Addicted to your videos.

Beautifully done as always. Cheers!
Every time I watch one of your videos my soul leaves my body & it goes out there somewhere in the mountains, tears in my eyes...
Hi Barty & Ronnie, it’s always wonderful to watch your videos. I especially love the videos of the mountains. It’s lovely to see them through your eyes. On stressful days at work or otherwise , it brings peace and happiness. So really appreciate it! Also, since I live away from home (India), your videos bring lovely memories of home. Keep up the good work, you probably don’t know the extent of happiness you bring to people like me.
I am really grateful to you guys for showing people our place feel so blessed to live in such kind of a place I am from kharapathar and love watching you guys god bless you
Roonie i missed your “namaste ji” . But barty really did a good job by taking a charge in the whole video. Kudos to both.
PS- Please post more frequently.
Your true admirer from
Shimla!!
Beautiful music in last segment I actually feel my presence there
Thank you for taking landscape photo of Kharapather, once I lived there and spent the best part of livelihood by cultivating potato’s,still I do remember.
Thank you again for transporting us to this magical place
Hello Guys.. as always absolutely pleasant to watch this video.
Awesome n thank you so much for showing us such beautiful places n looking forward for many more. Keep up the excellent work. Must say the background music transported me to that place, could feel the quietness n the snow n the mesmerizing nature in its true beauty. Thank you to both of you ❤️
i saw you both guys crossing , aaaa and thought that why you'd come here but yes it was you both i missed your visit 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 welcome to kotkhai 😢😢😢❤❤❤❤

How does the weather just SWITCHES ON IT'S BEAUTY whenever you guys start shooting ! Simply Stunning ! 😍
You are exceptional at what you do. It's evident you both have worked incredibly hard at your craft in years gone by. Absolutely Brilliant.
This was the first trek i did when i was in 10th class, back in 2006. Thank you for this video brought back many memories from this one. 😍😍😍🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
magnificent, experiencing a snowfall will remain on my bucket list.. it is actually a conflicting case when tourists leave out the places untouched, which also has it's negative consequences:)
Gulmarg is ur best option 😃🙏🏼
I have been following you from day 1 , I love your content so much. The storytelling, the thé framing, compostings, cinematography, drone shots everything is super beautiful. Everytime, I see your video. I get super inspired to do some extremely good quality work. Thankyou so much, thankyou for being a part of life.
I wish I meet you someday in Manali.
Thankyou
