The Gujjar Bakerwal Huts in the Mountains
Yes, you guessed it right. The Gujjars originated from Gujarat & settled in Northern India, a few centuries back. You can still pick up many Gujarati words in their dialect. These nomadic people are dependant on their livestock & hence during the summers they shift to the higher parts of the mountains to feed them. They make these unique wooden homes, which are made without any bricks, cement, or steel. Mind you not even a nail is used in constructing these unique temporary stays!
In winter I am told, bears hibernate in them! Careful! ๐
