Beautiful Indian Villages In The Hills
Tourism during COVID 19 took the worst beating. This sector was almost annihilated. We waited in the rink and at the first possible opportunity, we travelled out as safely as we could. During the course of our travel with COVID, we felt corona in India was a bigger problem for the cities. Villages with abundant open spaces were safer. There is no flocking or visiting tourist spots here. You just be.
Village tourism in India
Most people travel with a busy itinerary and land up being more tired during vacations than during work. Slow travel in India is still at a nascent phase. However, we have always travelled easy and have taken the time to absorb new experiences. Whenever possible, we have enjoyed the pleasure of early morning or late afternoon village walks, tasted local cuisine, checked out local handicrafts and experienced local music. We have been richer by the experience of speaking with local villagers, discussing world views, asking questions and answering questions. In our opinion, village tourism would be the key focus of tourism in the post corona world. Local tourism would surge as people may not want to travel far. The key would be responsible-travel in a manner that you are safe and you do not intrude in the lives of others.
Walking in Indian culture
We are posting short experiences of some village walks that we have enjoyed in the course of our travel. These have been like culture studies, nothing touristy about such experiences. Rather, we created memories for life. This is going to be an ongoing post. Whenever we have new experiences, we will those add here. So do keep visiting.
Beautiful Indian villages in the hills
Jhaltola, Pithoragarh
This Uttarakhand village, a heaven on earth is about 7 hours drive from Kotdwar, nearest railway station to Nainital. With a mix of snow-clad Himalayas, pine and oak trees, quaint hilltop temples or cave shrines, walks and treks, local crafts, weaves and natural dyes and last but not least, Kumaoni meals, Jhaltola in Uttarakhand is as eclectic as it could get.
