Hemp-Based Eco-Stay in Uttarakhand's Himalayas

In a small village in the Himalayas of Uttarakhand, there's a special house made mostly from hemp, a plant in the cannabis family.

This house, called Himalayan Hemp Eco Stays, is very eco-friendly.

It uses solar power for energy and collects rainwater.

The walls and roof are made from a special material called hempcrete, which is strong and can handle earthquakes, floods, and fires.

The house also helps clean the air.

The architects who built it, Namrata and Gaurav, wanted to show how hemp can be used to make buildings that are good for the environment.

They even have a special machine that processes hemp without using much water.

The house can fit four people and costs Rs 2,400 per person per day to stay in.
