    History

    Historically, Rakchham, like other villages in the Kinnaur region, has been influenced by Tibetan Buddhism and the trade routes that passed through the Himalayas. The village's remote location allowed it to maintain its traditional culture and way of life for centuries. The inhabitants are primarily Kinnauri people, who have their own distinct language, customs, and traditions. The village economy traditionally revolved around agriculture, with terraced fields used for cultivating crops like barley, buckwheat, and potatoes. In recent years, tourism has become an increasingly important source of income for the villagers. While modernization is slowly making its way into Rakchham, the village has managed to preserve its unique cultural identity and traditional architecture. The ancient temples and monasteries in and around the village stand as testaments to its rich historical and religious heritage.
