00:00 The goat village is envisaged as a lab of the microcultures and the lost traditions
00:09 of the operating area.
00:10 So this is when the goat village Naktiba was born as a revival of Koti Banal, more than
00:15 1000 year old architectural technique which originated from Uttarakhand and was on the
00:20 verge of extinction.
00:22 The houses interestingly made in this technique have stood the test of time and have survived
00:26 a lot of earthquakes and flash floods and despite the fact that the place is built on
00:31 a high altitude, a lot of people visit here in all the seasons because the way the accommodation
00:37 is made, it doesn't require any electricity for any insulation.
00:42 There's a constant effort by the local communities or the volunteers who come here and work to
00:47 be as much part of the landscape as possible and to use the locally available resources
00:54 as responsibly as possible.
