"Introducing a Fresh Tourism Approach Focused on Rural Communities"
In the heart of the Himalayas, Himachal Pradesh offers a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life, with pristine and surreal villages that are waiting to be explored. Tourism Scouts India, a leading travel company based in Himachal Pradesh, is making it easier than ever for travellers to immerse themselves in the authentic Himalayan village life.
With a website (www.tourismscouts.com) dedicated to bookings, Tourism Scouts India helps travellers stay in homestays and live like locals. From Janglik Village in Rohru, known for its untouched nature and authentic village life, to the tranquil tea-growing village of Pulga in Parvati Valley, Tourism Scouts India offers curated local experiences in rural Himachal Pradesh.
One can wake up to the sound of birds chirping, help with farming, and eat local food in these rural villages. Guided village walks, small treks, and cultural activities are part of the offerings by Tourism Scouts India. Some notable hidden gem villages in Himachal Pradesh for rural tourism include Barot Valley, known for its lush greenery, trekking routes, and trout fishing, and Chitkul, famous for apple farming and calm riverside settings.
Kasol and Parvati Valley, popular for mountain views, riverside ambiance, and vibrant local culture, and Kalpa in the Kinnaur District, renowned for beautiful views of the Kinner Kailash range, monasteries, and rich cultural heritage, are also worth visiting. A lesser-known hamlet, Sethan Valley near Manali, offers snowy views, silence, and unique features like igloo stays, providing an alternative to Manali’s typical tourist spots.
Tourism Scouts India plays a significant role in promoting rural tourism and working closely with rural communities. By facilitating authentic local experiences, they contribute to the rural economy, stimulate local livelihoods, and support sustainable development. They engage and train local youth as guides or hosts, thereby creating employment opportunities. They also encourage tourists to explore lesser-known villages, thereby distributing economic benefits beyond popular tourist hubs.
Advocating for environmentally responsible tourism practices, Tourism Scouts India helps preserve local culture and natural surroundings. They support community-based tourism initiatives that reinvest revenues into village development and conservation projects, aligning tourism growth with ecological and cultural preservation. These activities help address issues like unemployment and economic development in rural Himachal Pradesh, contributing significantly to sustainable development.
