00:00 Welcome to Risaukund Homestay.
00:04 So Risaukund means the natural environment around us.
00:13 Since I was a kid, I've always been passionate about exploring
00:18 and has always been close to my heart about this whole beauty of Bengalia.
00:25 We give fresh, clean towels and also these organic soaps which are made locally.
00:31 Since our inception of the homestay, one of the main principles that we've kept in mind
00:36 is that we won't be providing any one-time use packaged drinking water.
00:41 So what we're doing here is we give this bottled water which is filtered
00:45 and we will be sourcing it from the river upstream from this locality.
00:52 We used to host like an acoustic session here.
00:55 We'll call local artists.
00:57 Again, we don't compromise on the price.
00:59 We don't want just to make the guests happy, we'll pay less for the artists.
01:02 That doesn't happen.
