Delhi Content Creator Returns After Two Months Living in Manali Mountains
Ajay Sharma, a Delhi-based Gen Z content creator, moved to Sial village near Manali in May 2026 to explore if mountain life suits full-time living. Over 71 days, he documented his experience through nearly 55 videos, developing a strong emotional connection to the area. Despite the mountains feeling like home, Ajay decided to return to Delhi, viewing his departure as the start of a new life phase rather than a rejection of mountain living.
