One of the best ways to experience rural India, Goat Village was set up by Green People as an initiative to augment local income and increase markets for organically-farmed products.
Organic farming and agriculture are carried out on the property — including the breeding of goats. The property offers purpose-built cottage accommodations with private bathrooms for guests. It’s essentially run as a homestay, with villagers providing hospitality and cooking delicious regional cuisine. In addition to exploring the local way of life, guests can trek to nearby Nag Tibba mountain and go camping (all arrangements are taken care of). Reaching the village requires a trek of about an hour. The closest motorable village is Pantwari, a couple of hours from Mussoorie. Do note that electricity is minimal.
The Goat Village also has other properties in Uttarakhand.
Rates: 7,000 rupees per night for a double, all inclusive. Dorm beds are available for 3,000 rupees per night, all inclusive.
