It is bounded by the state of Jammu and Kashmir to the north, by the Tibet Autonomous Region of China to the east, and by the states of Uttarakhand to the southeast, Haryana to the south and Punjab to the west. Himachal Pradesh occupies a region of scenic splendour in the western Himalayas, offering a multitextured display of loft snow-clad mountains, deep gorges, thickly forested valleys, large lakes, terraced fields and cascading streams. Kasol, the ‘Heaven’s Gateway’, is not only famous for its prodigal mountains, lush green flora, and serene environment but also for its vibrant party culture. It is a host to some of the best music festivals, and New Year parties in the country. The party capital of Himachal beckons you to celebrate your New Year in the mystical Parvati Valley. Bijli Mahadev is one of the sacred temples of the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It is located at an altitude of about 2,460m in the Kullu Valley. Bijli Mahadev is one of the ancient temples in India. A panoramic view of Kullu and Paravati valleys can be seen from the temple. In this temple of lightning, it is said that the tall staff attracts the divine blessings in the form of lightning. Lightning incidents occur like one in 12 years. Isolated from the rest of the world lies a solitary village in Malana Nala, which is a side valley of the Parvati Valley. Known as the Malana Village, it is located in the Kullu district. Widely known for its strong culture and religious beliefs, with various sentiments embedded in the past, it is a place meant for people who seek spiritual guidance. Manali is a high-altitude Himalayan resort town in India’s northern Himachal Pradesh state. It has a reputation as a backpacking centre and honeymoon destination.

  • International Journal of Multidisciplinary Approach and Studies Analyzing Resource Potential for Nature Based Tourism
    International Journal of Multidisciplinary Approach and Studies ISSN NO:: 2348 – 537X Analyzing Resource Potential for Nature Based Tourism: A Case Study of the State of Himachal Pradesh (India) Punit Gautam Associate Professor, Department of Tourism and Hotel Management, North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong, Meghalaya (India) ―Potential‖ broadly insinuates something promising but not yet (fully) exploited; it symbolizes the sum total of qualitative and quantitative values of the given resources on which the degree and extent of its exploitability depends (Kandari, 1984). In the context of tourism, assessing the resource potential in quantitative terms is highly complex process, if not impossible, as it involves the physical, psychological and spiritual demands on the people belonging to diverse geographical, socio-cultural and economic backgrounds who travel under different motives, interests, preferences and immediate needs. To quote Kandari (1984), ―potential for tourism development in any area depends on the availability of recreational resources in addition to the factors like climate, seasons, accessibility, proximity to market, political stability, state of economy and general infrastructure, quality of natural environment, attitude of the local people, travel trade entrepreneurs and tourism planners, the existing tourist plant facilities and the degree to which they can be further developed within the prevailing limitations of natural, cultural and financial environments. Healthy combination of all those and many other factors

That this resurvey happens to be the first study undertaken in the process of revival of continuous village studies is a matter of pleasure for AERC, Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla-5. Revival of continuous village studies after their discontinuation for some time shows the concern of Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare towards the present agrarian crisis in the country and will go a long way in using these villages as socio-economic research observatories. The invitation of Shri P.C. Bodh, Adviser, Agro-Economic Research, DAC&FW towards this is appreciable. The study is also important from the perspective of covering a unique village in Himachal Pradesh which is undergoing fast socio-economic change in its rather primitive existence for long time and the study will reveal the rural dynamics that have affected the village life during a quarter of a century, since 1991-92, when last time it was studied by AERC, Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla-5.
