Domestic tourism has gained popularity
with the campaigns to promote even lesser known tourist destinations.
Can you remember Big B’s ad promoting
Gujarat Tourism, Kerala’s ‘Gods own country’ ad campaign and several others?
The tourism ministry is endorsing India as a happening destination for
sensitive visitors under the slogan ‘Incredible India’.
The country thrives with rich culture
and heritage, primeval monuments, forts, high altitude, snow covered mountains
in the North, beaches in South and numerous virgin destinations to visit.
With the rising temperature, a holiday
to cooler areas is the requirement of the hr. Some tourists prefer to unwind on
the beach whereas a few like observing the racial culture of the city while
others like to get involved in adventure sports as the region provides.
According to a public relation officer
of Garhwal Mandal Nigam Ltd, Sunil Maithani, Uttarakhand has pictorial sights,
the weather is clean and the locals are hospitable. He claims, “The place is
the main attraction of Himalayas. As it is located between the Himalayas in the
north and the Shivalik range in the south, Uttarakhand offers the most
overwhelming views of the towering peaks, along with the mist covered deep
gorges and places of pilgrimage and nature lovers.”
The place is the famous spot for
pilgrims. Sunil adds, “During summer, Chardham, the four most holy and sacred
Hindu temples-Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri have always been the
hot favourites. The course is blessed with outstanding glaciers, majestic snow
covered mountains, valley of colourful flowers and thick forest which drive people
of all ages. Besides Chardham, Mussoorie, Dhanaulty, Lansdowne, Harsil, Binsar,
Mukteshwar, are also popular for their unspoiled beauty. Nature is something to
be felt and treasured so the only tour tip for those who are planning a visit
to Uttarakhand is to travel less and reside more. Take a stroll amid the hills,
enjoy the clean fresh air, go for trek, visit local temples and view the mist
covered town with its mystifying sound. Just relax, to rejuvenate yourself.”
President of Yuvashakti, Ajit Sane
speaks about adventure tourism, “Adventure tourism is travelling to distant,
striking and probably untouched regions. Destinations like Manali, Rishikesh,
Darjeeling, Nainital and Pithoragarh are becoming the new centre for adventure
tourism in the country. These places are constantly adding to their adventure
prospect in terms of new and safe equipment and qualified experts.”
He adds, “Rishikesh is the hub for
White Water Rafting with most of the white sand beaches alongside Ganges. The
place provides safe rafts with imported material, foreign trained guides and
supreme camping amenities. Manali is popular for its exotic trekking routes
that drive numerous groups.”
