00:02 Himalayan Farmstays is an initiative
00:04 focusing on solving the problems of the village
00:07 through hospitality.
00:09 And one of the problems that the villagers are facing
00:11 is water shortage.
00:13 And Ice Tupa is a solution which has been propagated.
00:15 When this Ice Tupa solution was discussed with villages,
00:18 one of the points which came across was,
00:20 our kids are leaving
00:22 and we don't have enough hands to do all the work.
00:25 That is when we came up with this farmstays,
00:27 which will not only give an economic benefit,
00:31 it can also solve a lot of other problems.
00:33 So one of the solutions is the Passive Solar House
00:37 with using local materials.
00:39 We are trying to expand to villages
00:41 which are unexplored to tourists.
00:43 When you come to a farmstay,
00:47 you are basically coming to a home.
00:49 See how a normal family in Ladakhi village lives,
00:52 sit in the chansa, sip loads and loads of butter tea
00:55 and have dinner with them.
