Kothi Kohr

The history of Kothi Kohr is intertwined with the development of the Barot Valley, primarily driven by the Shanan Hydel Project in the early 20th century. Originally a remote and sparsely populated area, the construction of the project brought in workers and led to the gradual establishment of settlements. Kothi Kohr, like other villages in the valley, benefited from the increased connectivity and economic activity. Over time, it has retained its traditional charm and agricultural roots, while slowly opening up to tourism. The local culture and customs have remained largely intact, offering visitors a glimpse into the authentic Himachali way of life. Though not steeped in grand historical events, Kothi Kohr's history reflects the story of a community adapting to modernization while preserving its heritage.
