Himalayan Strings
Banjara Camps & Retreats and Soulitudes present Himalayan Strings

The Sangla valley, part of the Kinnaur region in the Northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh will be the venue for “Himalayan Strings” from July 8-11, 2005. Amidst Alpine country, one of India’s most promising and original musician, Raghupathy Dixit will create memorable music. 

The venue is Banjara Camps in Sangla. Mountains, forests, waterfalls, rivers and small picturesque villages dot this land with views of snow capped mountains even in summer. At a height of 2,700 meters the Banjara Camp is surrounded by towering mountains on all sides and is set on the banks of the Baspa river that surges through the valley. The Camp has 17 cozy Swiss-style tents that have attached bathrooms (with hot water) and a well-equipped kitchen. In addition to the luxuries of the camp and the stunning views, there are plenty of other things one can do from Sangla. Chitkul, the last village on the Hindustan-Tibet trade route, is just 20 km away, and one can have lunch by a glacier-fed stream near Chitkul, go for hikes, or simply contemplate by the Baspa river.


About the musician - Raghupathy Dixit
The Raghu Dixit Project, founded by Raghupathy Dixit, is an open house for musicians and artistes from different genres to come together, collaborate and create a dynamic sound and expression. Though a gold medalist in Masters in Microbiology and a proficient Indian Classical Dancer (Vidwat in Bharatnatyam), Raghupathy Dixit is now known more as a self-taught guitarist-singer-composer-song writer-musician, based in Bangalore. His band is all set to launch its debut album through Phat Phish Records. Raghu’s music is a seamless amalgamation of Indian ethnic music and styles from different parts of the world. His lyrics though intense, are simple and speak about every common man’s emotions and experiences. Inserting Indian ethnic folk, Sufi and classical phrases cleverly into his songs, Raghu’s singing style can be described as unique at best.
