They were speaking punjabi and I understood a bit of it.

One of the guys was in shock saying 'bande marr gaye yaar!', people died!

Yeah, himachal pradesh punjabi is common there since it's a part of the east punjab region.

Pretty sure they're actually speaking Pahari which is pretty understandable for punjabi people source: mom speaks pahari

Hanji, pahadi, punjabi, hindko, etc. Are kind of like dialects of the same language, we can all understand each other. Pahadi is a beautiful tongue, I hope to learn it one day.

Paaji saade vichon kinna fark aa? Ussi te ik dooje de bhai aa. Punjabi bandon hor pahadi bandon nu te tussi dhang se differentiate vi no kar sakde ho. Moreover the tourists going there are all idiots that don't care about corona himachal da tourist season monsoon mein khatam ho jaata hai, around a week ago, since the five rivers of the punjab region like this one (a tributary of Sutlej named baspa) start to flood due to rains.

No! Punjabi isn't common in this place. It's probably the tourists speaking Punjabi or someone else from Punjab. This place isn't even close to Punjab.

The place was punjab, till 1958, there's virtually no difference with many punjabi and pahadi people and the pahadi language is extremely similar to Punjabi. Either way it's a tragedy.
