The back page of this Infographic map depicts the local traditions and cultures of the valley and its people whose lives are primarily run by the 4 seasons and an unforgiving weather conditions.
One can notice that the months have been mentioned in both the local calendar and Gregorian calendar (for reference), which helps us get a glimpse into the local festivites defined by their powerful belief systems in spirituality and local deities ; season based farming of fruits and vegetables ; activities related to animal husbandry such as rearing of sheep, shearing wool, beekeeping and extracting honey ; commercial tourism activities like mountain climbing, trekking, paragliding, rafting ; as well as lean non productive months due to heavy snow and cold.
This map was created as an ode to the tough resilient people of the valley, and for the rest of us to get a glimpse into their lives
