It’s the part of Uttarakhand left behind. Seku village (5500 ft
/ 1700 mts), 2 hrs walk from Kuflon, an alternate trek route to
Dodital, it is one of the very few villages in the region to
have been least effected by the regular influx of outsiders.
Mainly an agro-dependent economy, it has started moving towards
seemingly greener pastures. Nonetheless the settings of the
village offer a mix of the past and the encroaching modern
influence.
