00:03 Hello.
00:10 My name is Lokesh Ohri, and I run a group
00:13 called Being There, Doing That, or BTDT.
00:16 BTDT is trying to ensure that the dividends
00:20 of this new experiential travel boom in the Himalayas
00:24 go directly to the communities.
00:27 We help communities curate experiences.
00:30 We help them to run homestays and to run walking trails.
00:35 So by bringing the community and the traveler together,
00:38 we are putting some money in people's pockets.
00:41 On the other hand, we are advocating to the visitors,
00:44 to the mountains, that they should not
00:46 bring their fast-paced lifestyle to the mountains,
00:50 and they should experience nature at nature's pace.
