Choj is a village on the Parvati River in the Parvati Valley, Kullu District, Himachal Pradesh, India, between Kasol and Manikaran. It lies in the Chalal gram panchayat.[1] One accession carries Choj as its locality.
Geography
Choj lies about 1.3 km north-east of Kasol and 2.1 km south-west of Manikaran, at about 1,640 m, where the Choj nala joins the Parvati.[2] The Tribune calls the stream the Gohar Nullah and places its upper reaches above Rasol. A footbridge linked the village with the Manikaran road until the flood of July 2022 swept it away.[3] The collection documentation of the Zomia Collective describes Parla Thatch, the highest of the fields of Rasol, as "extending into the upper Parvati Valley toward Choj".[4]
2022 flood
Early on 6 July 2022 a cloudburst high above Rasol sent a flash flood down the stream to Choj.[3] Four people working at a homestay and a roadside eatery at the meeting of the stream and the river went missing, according to Amar Ujala.[2] The Tribune reported that fifteen tents on three camping sites were washed away, that the debris damaged several houses and orchard land and blocked the Parvati.[3] Amar Ujala listed two electricity transformers, drinking-water schemes, footpaths, seven culverts, roads and houses among the losses in the village.[2]
