Prior to 1962, the Nelong was one
of the most popular trade routes between India and Tibet. But, during the
Indo-China war in 1962, the villagers were made to migrate from the valley and
the area was under the control of the Indo-Tibetan police and various army
checkpoints were established in the place. Since
then the valley was closed for the civilians. But, it was in the year 2015,
that the Government opened the gates of the Nelong
Valley for the civilians after the State Government petition. But, the Indians
can visit the valley only after seeking the permission of the SDM, Uttarkashi
and Forest Department.
