PauriINR 20,000.00/month
Village Isoti was established over ten generations ago by two Istwal brothers from Village Naukhandi. The village is located midway to the top of Ameli Parwat, arguably the highest feature in Chaundkot. The once thriving and prosperous village however has been deeply afflicted by migration and is now trying to slowly revive itself and claw its way back to former glory. The village folk of Isoti are gentle, warm & industrious with exceptionally large hearts. Bulk of the inhabitants at Isoti are farmers who practice natural agriculture and grow traditional crops like Grains & Millets. They live a frugal and eminently simple life, toiling hard all through the year to make their ends meet. The village folk are deeply religious and celebrate their traditional festivals and occasions with customary gaiety and enthusiasm. Isoti is a beautiful village blessed with an abundance of natural beauty and natural resources. It overlooks a mesmerizing green valley. The village has a perennial natural spring and a seasonal rivulet meanders close to the village. The Himalayan sunsets one witnesses at Isoti are truly spellbinding and awe inspiring. Isoti is home to the Non Profit Organization called 'The Dagdiya Foundation'. Dagdiya means a friend in the local lingo and the Non Profit is actively working towards Women empowerment and Youth mobilization. You can find more about the Dagdiya Foundation by looking it up on Social Media under #bemydagdiya
