Experience varies from person to person. Two years back I visited Kedar-Badri along with my friends. We got very good accomodation and food at reasonable rates.
However it is true that we are not professional in our approach towards visitors and even the behaviour in general is not good. Food quality is questionable at many places. We got best food at badrinath and the hotel was run by a Punjabi.
One of the reason could be the tourism is for short period and people have tendency to recover as much as possible which is deterimental in long term. We should not look towards govt. for improvement, when evry where the talk is for privatisation. It is basically the understanding of business, and we lack in this. How many places you have seen the rates are fixed and not negotiable. The professional people have to enter into this field and make things right.
One answer to problem could be round the year tourism flow and making some places worth for visit in off season also and not only for pligrimage but for general purpose. Here govt. can plan to develop some places by giving tax holidays, investing in infrastructure etc.
Lets hope for good results. Wishing happy journey and comfortable stay to visitors.

Namsakar to all the PG membersMr Himanshu is narrating a true face of tourism in UK.Its very unforutunateto say all this but its true. Even I have faced all this.I went to Auli with my wife and booked GM nigam hotel but the condition of room and food quality in the hotel was below std. and charges were so high...1500/- per day.exculding the meals etc.For meals we had to depend on nearby canteen running by a local there.Auli is one the world famous tourist place known for its beauty, best skiing slopes and longest / highest roopway.but condition of rooms and food quality is below std. even in nigam hotel.After that we went to Joshimath , earlier they were charging Rs 950/- per day from us that was jumped to1500/- per day on the 1st day of May , saying its now tourist season has started from 1st May so we increase the charges , that for the same rooms.For meals we again had to depend on outside.so perheps its true that presently tourism is in bad taste in Uttarakhand. thanksAnil Rawat

Dear Sir/Madam,
The shrines of Badri-Kedar alongwith Ganotri-Yumnotri always have been receiving great tourist flock. However, i tell you more than a 1/3 tourist is from Uttarakhand only. And majority from South India and Kolkatta. It has two fold reason: One, the idea of pilgrimage and Two, vacations. In recent times, the tourism overall is down in Uttarakhand. I don't know about Himachal, but yes, here in Uttarakhand it is half percent down than the previous year's figure. Some reasons that i was told are - Exorbitant hike in tarrifs, Bad conditions of road and transporation (read as connectivity) and overly priced food articles that's too bad on taste and hygeine. Infact, you would agree that percentage of foreign tourist even has decreased severely. The tourist though willing to pay a little higher over for things but of course seek comfort (for bedding), quality (of food) and smooth journey (through swift roads). The fact seems very true that tourist are being cheated and so no tourist then returns back to these places and to the places where they have encountered these petty thieves in the form of shops, hotels and of course the transportation. The goverment has demonstarted its incapability to provide security and comfort to the tourist. Infact very much people of Uttarakhand have suffered these conditions. I have been told by a Hotel owner in Ukhimath last month, that this is season time and these 4 months (May-Aug) we receive heavy rush. He continued that i accomodated a Bengali family in my kitchen and charged a 1000 Rs. all i had served them was tea. This example and many e.gs like this display that this tourist is facing problems of inconvenience, and being cheated. Infact i was told by an Old couple from Kumaon region, that they were denied room in a lodge and then later given to some other tourist. The reason, the Uttarakhandis (locals), they don't pay as much a family from Delhi could pay. Recently in Nainital, i was told the tourist traffic is much lesser this year than pervious ones due to same problems. No tourist even wants to recommend these places to fellow tourists. Same i have heard in Mukteshwar. GMVN/KMVN they have increased tariffs upto 20 percent but have these improved upon the facilities that they provide. NO! The goverment has no regulations and even if they have its only on papers. So who'll listen to the tourist. Already the Uttarakhand based Nigams are making losses. Look at their food quality and serving timings. I have experienced this personally. The situation is so worse that now most of PWD and Forrest Guest Houses have started denying the tourist which they judge based on tourists appearence and paying capablity (otherwise refuse on the terms that DM permission is necessary). How many of us actually no that a common man seek shelter at PWDs and Forrest houses if its available at a moderate cost which goes to the state govt. and the caretaker has to give but...
Tourism is in bad taste in Uttarakhand. The goverment is sleeping with eyes open and ears closed. Tourist is suffering with a promise not to return back. Common man has loss of employment. And above all, nobody is bothered.... Well what for... until we have our stomachs filled and morals that have rusted inside us.

Himalayan shrines among the major attractions for the visitors
Himalayas Calling: The famous Hindu pilgrimage shrine of Badrinath has always been a big draw.
All roads seem to be leading to the higher Himalayan shrines, meadows and valleys these days for tourists rushing up the hills of Uttarakhand. Hotels and dharamshalas in Hardwar and Rishikesh are booked to capacity with local entrepreneurs doing brisk business here and all along the yatra route.
The Kedarnath area alone reported a queue of over 5,000 pilgrims trekking up to the shrine on Monday.
The tourists seem to be lapping up the sweet roasted corn, plums and other hill fruits being sold by enterprising children on the roads near the villages. "We have enjoyed the yatra better this time, and if such enthusiasm continues among the local shopkeepers and young entrepreneurs, Uttarakhand will soon graduate to one of the best destinations in the country," observed Seema and her husband J. Mukherjee from Kolkota.
Similar sentiments were aired by Ramaswamy from Bangalore and Santokh Singh from Amritsar.
"According to official estimates, about one lakh visitors have enjoyed a holiday or pilgrimage at Badrinath, Kedarnath, Yamunotri and Gangotri so far this season and a lot more are expected to do so in the next few weeks," said State Tourism Development Board Joint Director A.K. Dwivedi.
The pilgrims and nature-lovers' rush can also be seen at Govindghat from where one treks through a magnificent landscape either to the Sikh shrine of Hemkunt Sahib or the Valley of Flowers.
"Special arrangements have been made to provide better facilities to the visitors. Chief Minister Bhuwan Chandra Khanduri is briefed on the situation every day," said Mr. Dwivedi.
Mr. Dwivedi urged the travellers to follow the road safety rules and lodge a complaint with the local officials if they get a raw deal anywhere. "We come to the Himalayas to enjoy and appreciate nature and should try to return with the choicest memories and not tragedies," he said.

Dear Himanshu:
There is no doubt that the Government is sleeping over many
crucial issues concerning our people but have we not seen that all
successive Govts in the past or rather entire Bureaucratic Machinery
of the State Governments have always been found sleeping over the
issues of public interest for past over 6 decades now?.
We cannot expect a miracle from Khanduriji's govt either. True
to their habits, our bureaucratic machinery moves like a slow old
elephant. Hundreds of problems can be solved in quick time if the
State Govt wakes up to some action, but Alas No ! they are not
even even aware perhaps what needs to be done. Government is
to become an unbearable libility for the people of the state in the
near future, if we do not bring in some drastic changes in our systems.
But there is a lot that can be done by the people of Uttarakhand
themselves weather or not Government is willing to help. Even in
the Tourism Sector there is tremendous potential yet to be tapped
which can bring ABUNDANCE in the lives of our people who, in one
way or the other, are related to Tourism Industry.
In wake of new problems touching our Uttarakhand, it is we the
people of Uttarakhand, who have to take command and stay in-
charge of improving the plight of our people.
Adopting a Co-operative approach we can do a lot..! We need a
few commited people to come forward..!
