Czech (European) tourists like Oak, Rhododendron and Myrcia-esculenta Himalayan forest of Sangrah

European Tourist Jirka Lochhan, Peh Kwrka and Lneas Miarb in Sangrah Town, H.P.  Czech (European) tourists spend 4 days in Sangrah area and during their summer visit they execute research on Oak Himalayan forest.  According to foreigner they are Geology and Botany teacher by protection and they will shear their exploration with their students when they go back. Central European teacher find some stern specious of Oak, Rhododendron and Myrcia esculenta (Local name Baan, Buras and Kafal) etc. trees or wild animal in the forest of Sangrah range.   The beautiful trees of Rhododendron are found in 21 Panchayats of Sangrah Subdivision and some other parts of greater Sirmaur and upper Shimla district of Himachal State. Rhododendron tree is known as Buras in area and it always attracts tourist and forest lovers in spring. Piulani, Jablog, Devdhal, Manal, Choordhar, Diwari, Gattadhar and Sainj etc. forests looks amazing when the wild Rose blossom during primavera. Rhododendron could also be a source of livelihood for many peoples of neighborhood if Government or any other origination establishes fruit juice processing unit/ factory in aria. Buras is also a Meditational plant and its Juice and Ketchup etc. are good Remedy for cancer and heart patients. Italian researchers at the University of Padova studied the composition of an essential oil from the Rhododendron anthopogon species. They were able to isolate compounds that showed a significant killing effect against strains of bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis and fungi like Candida. The same Italian study that discovered antimicrobial properties in rhododendron also determined that the essential oil reduced cancer cell growth independently of either the cell line or the treatment protocols used. Myrica-esculenta is a tree or shrub native to the hills of northern India and Nepal. Its common names include Bayberry, Kafal . It is found in hilly regions of northern India and Nepal especially in the regions of GarhwalKumaun, Upper areas of Himachal and western Nepal especially at elevations between 400,000 and 7,000 feet. It has a tree of medium height i.e. 20 to 25 feet. Bark is soft and brittle. Flowers are of white color and are found in bunches. Fruit is a glucose, succulent drupe, with a bard endocarp; diameter 1.1 to 1.3 cm; average mass 670 mg. Seeds are triangular in shape and are astringent in taste. Baan is the local name of Oak in Himachal Pradesh, Sangrah area or greater Sirmaur. The reasons for its decline are varied; the population explosion and probably global warming and deforestation all play a role in its decline. Another reason is the widespread aggressive pruning of the oaks for use as cattle feed and firewood by the local population. This results in the oaks not bearing any acorns hence there are no new trees coming up in these areas. In addition, whenever a landslide occurs or an oak falls due to erosion washing away the soil from most of its roots, it is seen as a windfall and is quickly chopped up and consumed or sold as firewood. Nothing however is planted to replace it.  This oak is a slow grower and takes decades to grow into a tall tree. On 14th of May they return Chak (Czech) from Hotel King-Prince HS Sangrah by flight from Dehli. Czech researcher like Oak, Rhododendron and Myrcia esculenta Himalayan forest of area and committed to next tour with family soon.
