Malana village is prized as an ancient civilization.
Unlike the rest of India, the village of Malana has its own religious beliefs.
The untold story of Malana is perhaps one of the best kept secrets of the country.
Malana is one of the oldest standing democracies of the world,
with the small village managing it's own affairs even today.
Most of the people are not aware of the fact that there
is a place in Himachal Pradesh named“Malana” that has a small hidden and unexplored village.
Located in the north-east of the Kullu Valley, Malana is also known as the‘Little Greece of India',
because the locals believe that they are descendants of Alexander-the-Great himself!
Tourists are required to submit a
duly signed'letter of consent' expressing that anything that occurs in Malana shall be addressed by the local governing body
and no other legal power can step in.
Even there have been allegations
that few of the foreign nationals are illegally(without valid permission from the government of India) staying in Malana area
and they are involved in the drug trade with the help of locals.
