Gutthi - A Kids' Play in the Hills of Uttarakhand

This film is part of the Himalayan Custodians series and is shot entirely by rural youth from villages of Uttarakhand. Through their lens, the film captures local traditions, cultural practices, and everyday life in the Himalayan region. The film focuses on Gutthi - A childhood game played by rural kids, reflecting the resourceful minds and creativity of kids growing up in the hills. Using simple, locally available materials, the game represents the joy of plays in the non-digital era—where imagination, movement, and togetherness shaped childhood experiences. Told through local voices and lived moments, the film highlights how such games foster community bonding, encourage interaction, and help pass cultural knowledge across generations in Himalayan villages. The film encourages families and communities to reintroduce children to games rooted in nature and community—bringing them back to outdoor, interactive play that nurtures imagination, connection, creativity, and meaningful togetherness beyond digital screens. The film underscores the importance of safeguarding local traditions and cultural practices that strengthen community identity and collective memory. We welcome you with your family especially young kids, on your next vacation in our community homestays. And experience the joy of slow and sustainable living through generations old traditions and heritage.
