Gunji, a quaint village nestled in Uttarakhand, India, lies in proximity to the borders of Tibet and Nepal. Although administered by India, there exists a territorial dispute with Nepal over this region. Situated at the east end of the Kuthi Valley, Gunji is strategically positioned near the confluence of the Kuthi Yankti and Kalapani River. The village holds significance as it is situated on the traditional route taken by Indian and Nepalese pilgrims heading to Kailas–Manasarovar. Despite the ongoing border dispute, Gunji stands as a testament to the shared historical and cultural ties between India and Nepal in the context of this ancient pilgrimage route.
