Vyas Rishi Kuti at Rohtang Pass

Rohtang Pass is a natural cultural divide between the foothills and wet lowlands of northern India and its primarily Hindu culture, with the dry desert uplands north of the first range of the Himalayas and its mainly Buddhist and heavily Tibetan-influenced culture.

 

The kuti (a small hut) in the pic belongs to the sage Vyas Rishi ( also writer of Mahabharata ) performed 'tapa' i.e. penance in this valley.
