Malari, situated in the Dhauli Ganga valley within the Nanda Devi Biosphere reserve, is a small village near the Tibet border. This area has been designated as a world heritage site. It is located 61 km from Joshimath, the nearest Tehsil, in the Chamoli District of Uttarakhand.
"On the way to Malari we saw the fabled Dronagiri parvat from where Hanuman is believed to have procured Sanjivani, a plant to save the life of Lakshmana"(Ref:Himaranya - Ramananda Bharati).
The villages in this valley include Reni, from where the Chipko movement of Garhwal was started; Gaura Devi, from where the famous chipko activist hailed, as well as Lata, Peng, Tolma, Surai, Phagti, Jamgavar, Kaga and Garpag. Approximately 18 km from Malari, Niti is the last Indian village bordering Tibet. Historically, the Niti Pass connected India and Tibet on the trade route, facilitating the exchange of goods like goats, sheep, grains and rock salt. Currently, special permission from the administration is required to proceed beyond Malari. The village boasts its unique natural beauty and distinct residential patterns. Malari serves as a summer migration place for the villagers, who follow a six-month migration cycle. They reside in the village only during the period of mid-April to mid-September or early October, before migrating to another location for the winter.
The population of Malari is 649 according to the 2001 census. Male population is 318 and female population is 331.
