Shimla: The first privately operated eco-tourism project in Himachal Pradesh would come up at Cheba village near Barog in Solan district. Sources in the forest department confirmed that permission has been granted for the project. Six more proposals have been received by the department to set up eco-tourism circuits in Kullu, Mandi, Kangra and Shimla districts.
The developer would put up tents in the forest for providing accommodation to visitors, and will also provide related facilities. Visitors would be allowed to be taken for nature walks, but care would be taken that they do not damage flora and fauna in the jungle in any way.
what are the criterias for setting up eco tourisms by local n.g.o.?
As of now there is not of confusion regarding what eco-tourism itself is. The sector is open for private players as well as NGOs. So far govt has formed fe eco-tourism societies in certain areas. For rules and conditions for setting up societies kindly check the following link…
