The Mysterious Church of Darma Valley | A 200-Year-Old Story Beneath the Panchachuli Peaks | Bon Village Documentary
Hidden within Bon—the largest village in the Darma Valley—lies a mysterious 19th-century church…
A church that arrived to challenge local deities like Hya Gabla and Chyuti Gabla but failed to take root here.
In this video, we journey from Dhantu village to Bon—passing through Go, Hvula, and Philam villages, taking in breathtaking views of the Panchachuli peaks, and finally discovering that church.
This is not merely a travel video; it is a piece of history—
recounting the era when British missionaries initiated religious conversions in Kumaon during the time of the East India Company,
and tracing how missionary activities extended to Dharchula, Chaudas, and the Darma Valley.
