Walk through the un-explored settings, ask, be curious, observe. It’s the part of Uttarakhand left behind. Seku village (5500 ft / 1700 mts), 2 hrs walk from Kuflon, an alternate trek route to Dodital, it is one of the very few villages in the region to have been least effected by the regular influx of outsiders. Mainly an agro-dependent economy, it has started moving towards seemingly greener pastures. Nonetheless the settings of the village offer a mix of the past and the encroaching modern influence.
