Built on the foundations of sustainability & environmental consciousness, this unique project was born out of the idea of promoting sustainable tourism practices while supporting the local community & respecting the environment. A himalayan heaven near Nag Tibba, Mussoorie 'The Goat Village' is the perfect place to experience Garhwali authenticity, support the local community, and embrace hill traditions at 7700 feet.
The Goat Village (TGV) was originally established in 2016 to nurture the hill traditions and create a symbiotic relationship between tourism, culture, and nature. We were recognised for our efforts by the prestigious Outlook Traveller Indian Responsible Tourism Award for ‘BEST EARTH-FRIENDLY STAY’ in year 2019. We are also winners of internationally acclaimed and recognised World Responsible Tourism Award for ‘BEST FOR BENEFITING LOCAL PEOPLE’ category for the year 2019.
With all these accolades under our belt, our journey was brought to a grinding halt by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges, the indomitable spirit of ‘The Goat Village’ persevered. Rising from the ashes, we rebuilt our foundation of community development and sustainable travel. Led by a group of defence veterans passionate about eco-travel, we invite you to once again experience the authentic Himalayan way of life.
