Tulga, The Forgotten Neighbour
Tulga sits between Kalga and Pulga, sharing their geography without sharing their fame. This chapter says plainly what is known and what is not, rather than inventing a history to fill the gap.
Between two famous names sits a third village almost nobody mentions.
The Journey
Every valley seems to have a village like Tulga, the one caught between two better-known names, mentioned in passing more often than visited on purpose.
This chapter will not pretend to know more about Tulga than the research supports. What can be said honestly: it sits on the same foot path that connects Kalga and Pulga, sharing their remoteness without sharing their homestay economy or their write-ups.
Local truth: an empty page is more honest than an invented one. Tulga will get a fuller chapter once genuine, sourced research exists to support it, not before.
Practical Information
Follow the same foot route used to reach Kalga and Pulga from Barshaini; Tulga sits between the two, without a separately documented approach of its own in the sources available for this chapter.
