BA (P) GEOGRAPHY DISCIPLE SEMESTER VI GEOGRAPHY OF TOURISM Unit 5: Tourism in India: Tourism Infrastructure; Case Studies of Himalaya, Desert and Coastal and Heritage; National Tourism Policy Introduction The Himalayas are the pride of the Asia Pacific region that is poised for a dramatic tourism growth. Himalayas are one of the youngest mountain ranges in the world evolving since the Jurassic Era (80 million years ago) and epitomise a civilisational identity that goes back to the dawn of history. If these majestic mountains were not there, the climate of the entire Indian subcontinent specifically and of Asia would have been entirely different Himalayas -Geographical Division Nanga Parbat in the west stretching for over 2,000-kilometers to the mountains bordering Sikkim and Bhutan in the east, divides the Main Himalayan mountain range from the Indian. The Western Himalayas forming part of this range divide Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh from Ladakh. Nun and Kun are the highest mountains of this part. The North Sonarmarg and Amarnath ranges form part of the Himalayas in Kashmir. Eastern Himalyas extends across the Baraiacha range in Himachal Pradesh before merging with the Parbati range to the east of Kullu valley. They extend across the Kinnar Kailash to the Swargarohini and Bandarpunch ranges in Uttaranchal defined by the snow capped Gangotri glacier and Nanda Devi, the highest mountain in the Indian Himalaya. Richly endowed by Nature these mountains are primarily responsible for evoking nature worship and the conservation ethic. Ironically today these abodes of divinity are seriously threatened by those very human beings who worshipped them in awe. -

On 28 December 1885 Indian National Congress (INC) was founded in the premises of Gokuldas Tejpal Sanskrit School at Bombay. It was presided over by W.C Banerjee and attended by 72 delegates. A.O Hume played an instrumental role in the foundation of INC with an aim to provide Safety Valve to the British Government. www.jagranjosh.com/general-knowledge Page 3 A.O Hume served as a first General Secretary of INC. Real Aim of Congress is to trained the Indian youth in political agitation and to organise or to create public opinion in the country. For this they use the method of annual session where they discuss the problem and passed the resolution. The first or early phase of Indian Nationalism is also termed as Moderate Phase (1885- 1905).Moderate leaders were W.C Banerjee, Gopal Krishna Gokhale, R.C Dutt, Ferozeshah Mehta, George Yule etc. Moderates have full faith in British Government and adopted PPP path i.e. -
Route Descriptions
19 Route Descriptions This book contains 30 route descriptions ranging from four-day intro- ductory treks to demanding traverses up to 11 days, plus suggestions for other treks, side trips and alternative routes. Each trek description has a brief introduction outlining the natural and cultural features you may encounter, plus information to help you plan your trek – transport op- tions, level of difficulty, time frame and any permits required. The treks include information on campsites and lodges and places where you can obtain water and supplies. TIMES & DiSTANCES These are provided only as a guide. Times are based on actual walking time and do not include stops for snacks, taking photographs, rests or side trips. Be sure to factor these in when planning your trek. In most cases, the daily stages are flexible and can be varied. It is important to recognise that short stages are sometimes recommended in order to acclimatise in mountain areas or because there are interesting features to explore en route. Distances are provided but should be read in conjunction with altitudes. Anticipate covering up to 5 or 6km on a good undulating trail, around 4km on an average trail down, to 2 to 3km on a high pass crossing. Significant elevation changes can make a greater difference to your walking time than lateral distance. On average a trekker will ascend around 300m per hour, less at altitudes over 4000m. LEVEL OF DifficUltY Grading systems are always arbitrary. However, having an indication of the grade may help you choose between treks. Our authors use the fol- lowing grading guidelines: Easy – a trek on flat terrain or with minor elevation changes usually over short distances on well-travelled routes with no navigational dif- ficulties.
