Bareonah is a hamlet just above Manikaran in the Parvati Valley, Kullu District, Himachal Pradesh, India, and the name of a side valley whose fields are counted among those of Lapas. An appellation is named after it.
Geography
The hamlet lies under 1 km north-north-east of Manikaran, at about 1,980 m. The collection documentation of the Zomia Collective describes Bareonah as "an isolated valley north of Lapas and Gargi" and places Lapas "above Bareonah Valley".[1]

The collection documentation credits the valley with "rich, fertile soils" and calls the population of Lapas and Bareonah "endangered", adding that "Increasing tourism and hybridization threaten its genetic purity".[1] The Zomia Collective's index of growing regions lists the Bareonah fields under Lapas without a tag, which under the index's legend means they were directly documented or accessed.[2]
One accession, a selection made in 2022 from "the isolated ‘Bareonah’ fields", carries Lapas as its locality and Bareonah as its field.[1]
