Omggggg Johanna!!! I'm a himachali and I have ( unfortunately) never been to or heard of these beautiful locations . I think a (longgg) drive to banjar just for the riverside café and laida village would be totally worth it. Mummi is looking younger and cuter with every new vlog. I think India suits her💕. She deserves a pat on the back for being such a good sport and bravely navigating her way through the steep slopes and climbs💪 it's hilarious how Annika finds a broom to play with everywhere...glad she's so dedicated to keeping the environment clean😍. I hope and pray your dream of owning and running a homestay comes true. I will definitely be visiting regularly ❤️🤗

[@JohannaNorth]

Mummi is (was) also just so happy to be with Annika and spend time alone with her! 🥰 which part of himachal are you from? That region is just sooo full of beautiful places so it’d be hard to know all of them! Unfortunately we found out outsiders can’t buy property in himachal, so we can’t own one of those 😞

In fact, everyone who reads this is welcome! Wish your family good health and fortune. Cheers! P.S : People outside of the state aren't allowed to buy land in Himachal. There are ways, but they are complicated. You can lease it for a longer period. All the best with the property hunting! Let me know if you need any help here. ( AND NO I'M NOT A MIDDLE MAN.. LOL) :)

You both can shift to Himachal rent a home for seven year's then you both can legally own the property in the State of Himachal easily. Mountain life is tuff to live during snowfall in winter's. Or rent a property with the contract that after seven year's you will pay the price value of the property according to that year and purchase it long term purchase contract of rented property. For visiting more beautiful place you can also visit north east states of India.

Johanna madam, I think you should have visited more mainstream Sainj Valley which is near about at same distance from Atal tunnel but on different side and also has Zostel apart from more facilities from foreigners point of view, specially given your mother knee situation after operations, considering geography of these valleys. Agreed the two valleys have different vibes, one being natural rustic other being more developed and tourist friendly and you want to explore the former one. But still you should have considered it given your mother accompanying you and not to mentioned price of stay in such hostel, homestay is almost same despite having less facilities and difficult environment in Tirthan valley
