Shivalaya (1800m: 5905ft) is a swiftly expending bazaar
village whose shops and lodges used to face to face one another across a single
street. With the coming of the road all this has distorted, as there’s been a
frantic spate of new building which has altered the nature of the village. The
road to Bhandar passes above the village, heading further upvalley before
teisting back to climb the slope towards Deorali .
