“The poetry of the earth is never dead.”
― John Keats : environment, nature, poetry

Pauri Garhwal- NF’s initiative towards
Responsible tourism

Responsible tourism

Making better places for people to live in and better places for people to visit.
Tourism that optimizes the benefits to local communities, minimizes adverse social or environmental effects and helps local people conserve delicate cultures and habitats or species.

NF solicits……
  • Our visitors contribute to the local economy: ensure ones money reaches the local economy and therefore, the local people……
  • Our holidaymakers bring along an open attitude: “The best thing you can bring along is a great attitude.”

Ecotourism

Ecotourism is about conservation, uniting communities and sustainable travel.
Tourism where responsible travel to natural regions that conserves the eco system, supports the well-being of the local people and involves understanding and education

NF through Ecotourism facilitates
  • Conservation: Ecotourism provides effective economic incentives for conserving and strengthening bio-cultural diversity and helps protect the natural and cultural heritage of our beautiful planet.
  • Uniting Community: We design, construct and operate low-impact facilities; also recognize the rights and spiritual beliefs of the indigenous people of our community and work in partnership with them to create empowerment.
  • Sustainable Travel: Ecotourism is an effective vehicle for local capacity building, without harming natural and cultural environments.

Tourism in which visitors do not visit the ordinary tourist attractions, but are guided by other means.

Community Based Tourism

Tourism where local communities invite tourists into their communities

A New Hamlet
NF focuses at developing its own indigenous community-based projects, by adopting a ‘village or a Ghost village’. We call upon a group of people living in that area, common by culture, economic activity or simply ecosystems to help constitute a community settlement. In most cases they are farmers, fishermen, indigenous peoples, artisans living in remote, beautiful and well-preserved rural areas. We help develop the village Indigenous Leadership, Sustainability, Cultural Immersion
  • Indigenous Leadership: Community assumes collective responsibility for all aspects of your stay, including accommodations, internal travel, local food and cultural activities. Communities reap the benefits from tourism revenue, making community-based tourism a sustainable alternative.
  • Sustainability: Community provides home-stay facilities, where they will only accommodate as many people as they are able, keeping in mind long-term sustainability and avoiding unnecessary strain on their own resources. Aside from physical resources, revenue from community-based travel helps to sustain indigenous cultures and traditions in a rapidly changing world.
  • Cultural Immersion: Travelers can experience the diversity and customs of another culture and to interact with the community. Unique lodging, cuisine and activities form a foundation for increased knowledge and awareness of another culture, different set of beliefs and social norms.
Once community-based village is incepted, NF utilizes its resources to transform this “Hamlet” to a community-based tourism site. This will serve as a model site for replicating this venture.

Academic tourism with a difference

The cornerstone of learning where physical, economic, social and cultural aspects of tourism, tourist markets, and destinations is taken into account as a whole
  • Study of historical site, flora and fauna: Scientific studies, Management plans, Monitoring programmes, Archival research.
  • School visitation by NF consultants: Our subject scholars attempts to deepen the understanding about tourism as an activity and its influence on ground zero.
  • Teachers Workshops: NF’s workshops, are designed for the trainers in advocating the role schools and universities, play through the introduction of tourism education in the curricula.
  • Education for the young: NF’s proposal, that the young could relate to tourism and environment studies at the beginning period of their life.
  • Project initiatives: NF’s proposition, to take up development of traditional field roads as interpretive nature trails by the educational institutes.

Future efforts

NF focus on offering opportunities that allow talent to work on new and innovative projects
—with an assurance of continued learning and growth.
