Himachal village’s community-led tourism model a game-changer
Mystic Village near Khajjiar, Himachal Pradesh, is pioneering a Gaddi community-led tourism model. Through homestays, “Gaon ki Hatti” for local crafts, and the “Mahila Kitchen” for traditional cuisine, villagers—especially women—drive sustainable tourism. This approach boosts livelihoods, preserves heritage, and fosters cultural exchange, making tourism a tool for empowerment and conservation.
