History
While Thaltukhod itself doesn't boast a grand historical narrative, its significance is intertwined with the history of the Barot Valley. The valley gained prominence in the early 20th century when the Shanan Hydel Project was established. This project, built by the British, harnessed the waters of the Uhl River to generate electricity, and Barot became a crucial hub for this endeavor. Thaltukhod, being situated in the heart of the valley, naturally played a role in supporting the project. Local residents were involved in various aspects of the project, from construction to maintenance. The area around Thaltukhod also served as a transit point for materials and personnel involved in the hydel project. Today, the legacy of the Shanan Hydel Project continues to shape the region, and Thaltukhod retains its charm as a peaceful village connected to this historical development.
