There are some small shops available in the village from where one can get goods of daily use.

There are 2 schools in the village one of which impart education up to 8th standard and another upto 10th Standard. After that if one wants to study then he/she has to go the school at Narainbagarh. It is a very long and tiring path going daily up and down but the students do this task daily. On the way to the village you will be surrounded by panoramic views. You can see the Pindar river flowing down under.The view of Himalayas is awesome and you don't regret that you had to walk so much on foot to reach this place

If you land in autumns then you can find oranges and maize here in plenty for you to eat.

Some of the beautiful pictures which I had taken on my way to the village can be seen here . They are simply amazing.

If anyone wants to visit the place you can simply contact me and I can arrange a visit for you.
