Watch: Travel vlogger explores two-storey mud house in Madhya Pradesh village

A unique architectural marvel has recently taken the internet by storm: a two-storey traditional mud house located in a village in Madhya Pradesh, India. Mud houses, or kaccha houses, have long been a staple of rural Indian architecture, typically known for being single-storey structures. These eco-friendly homes, made from a mix of mud, clay, and natural materials like straw and bamboo, are prized for their natural insulation, minimal maintenance, cost-effectiveness, and aesthetic appeal with unique designs featuring curved lines, sloping roofs, and intricate details.

The video, which has captivated social media, was shared by travel vlogger ghumakkadlaali on Instagram. It shows her being welcomed by a village family into their extraordinary two-storey mud house. The vlogger narrates her experience, explaining how she stopped at the house to drink water while touring the village on her scooter amid the scorching heat. A woman resident warmly greeted her and offered water before giving her a tour of the house.

As the vlogger enters the house through a small door, she is astounded to discover the two floors. She explores the interior, revealing a small bed on the second floor and a kitchen set up on the ground floor. This unusual structure has sparked widespread fascination and nostalgia among viewers.
