It is amazing how something as simple as the pea crop could have such an interesting story behind it.
Introduced some 30 years back, the humble pea has drastically improved the lives and fortunes of the people living in Pin Valley and Spiti. This story of the peas is the story of the synergy between the people of pin valley, their animals and the mountains in their backyard.

Personally, I feel that places such as Todnam should remain pure and untouched by tourism. But the villagers feel otherwise and feel left out of the tourism boom that places like Mudh experience. It is not really my place to stand in the way of their aspirations.
If you like to visit Todnam then please get in touch with my friend Nawang Tanzin. It is his dream to open the first homestay in the village. His number is 94186 02537. This is the most I can do and I feel guilty for doing this. Please do not comment/message me asking for more details about the village.
