Maahie's Village Diaries: Discovering Sainji, the Heart of India's Corn Country

Sainji Village, located just 5 km away from the famous Kempty Falls in Mussoorie, is a unique and charming place that every traveler should visit. Travel influencer Maahie believes that you've likely seen many beautiful villages, but this one is different. The village is known for its fascinating corn decorations, where every house has corn tied in bunches hanging outside. How the corn was originally used to be stored has now turned into a gorgeous tradition that attracts numerous travelers.

A Canadian School and Bakery

There is yet another unique feature of Sainji Village, which is a school managed by a Canadian woman. The local children are attended to by the school, and tourists can assist it by buying something from a Canadian bakery located in the village. All funds from the bakery go towards the school and getting more resources for the children. This enhances the visit to the village since the tourists get to indulge in the treats while contributing to the locals.

Colorful Houses and Short Doors

The houses in Sainji Village are extremely colorful, with gorgeous paintings on wooden walls, so the village seems even more vibrant. The short doors of the houses are thought to ward off evil spirits, contributing to the charm and originality of the location. Such small architectural details make the village seem magical.
