In India?s remote Pindar and Saryu valleys, a new sustainable tourism project lets visitors experience traditional village life. Khati village is the uppermost settlement of the Pindar Valley in Uttarakhand, beyond which a path heads up towards the Pindari Glacier Strolling high above the valley floor, I heard the distinctive and faintly melancholic cry of an eagle. It was clear yet oddly tinny. My guide, Bhuppi Takuli, caught my puzzled look. ?Mobile phone,? he chuckled, cradling it to his ear. Even in the far-flung Indian Himalaya, remoteness is being diluted. I took consolation from his ringtone being the call of a crested serpent eagle. ?It?s my favourite bird,? he added. It became my favourite ringtone too, and one to which I grew accustomed over the following week.
