They inhabit the foothills of Himalayan states like Himachal Pradesh, Uttrakhand. They traditionally practice buffalo husbandry; a family owns up to 25 heads of buffaloes. They rely on buffaloes for milk, which gets them a good price in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh markets. 1/2 Other Protected Areas in Uttarakhand: Jim Corbett National Park (first National Park of India).

A Case Study of Jim Corbett National Park, Uttarakhand Dr
www.ijcrt.org © 2020 IJCRT | Volume 8, Issue 7 July 2020 | ISSN: 2320-2882 Tourism: A way of life – A Case study of Jim Corbett national park, uttarakhand Dr. Poonam Shah Gangola ( Geography) SBSPG College, Rudrapur( US Nagar) When we think about tourism, a very wide picture comes in our mind. India is very rich country in terms of tourism. If we talk about tourism we talk about places, culture, and socio economic development, employment of regional people, infrastructure, climate change and overall boost in the economy. When a person starts from his place to a tourist destination, he becomes the source of income for numerous people , sectors come across like local transport, Airways, railways, roadways, hotels, Restaurants, and source of employment for the regional and local people. So we can say that if Government focuses on tourism industry they focus on the economy of a particular region, livelihood of the local people, infrastructural development like roads, Hotels etc. But we must also think about the other related aspects of the tourism like pollution, crime, deforestation, eco- system, Bio- diversity etc. Introduction: The land of legends, Dev Bhoomi, abode of gods Uttrakhand, well known for its natural beauty and the peaceful religious places, these places attract people from all over the world, natural beauty can be seen in uttrakhand like different villages, Himalayas which are always covered with snow, glaciers, lakes and many beautiful forest areas, Bugyal etc( Sukla and sukla 2009 p 78). Uttrakhand is rich in scenic beauty with helthy climate and ample avenues for adventure sports and eco-tourism.
