Dear all
the below article is absolutely the mindset of WE GARWALI people.
we definitely need to change that just make money in 4 months of the year.
U See the rest part of INDIA people love to go there all over the year and that is only because the places have been equipped with the better tranportations/accomodations etc.
lets come together and teach our own people that we should respect the guest as we r known for our hospitality.
let us join our hands and take the responsibilty to improve this.
u all r welcome to call @9871978822
thanks and regard

Namsakar to all the PG members
Mr Himanshu is narrating a true face of tourism in UK.Its very unforutunate
to 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 to
1500/- 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.
thanks

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.
Thanks and Regards,

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.

Uttarakhand bus operators not to raise fare !!
Posted by: "KSRAWAT" sooni_ksr00@hotmail.com
Fri Jun 6, 2008 8:46 pm (PDT)
There is good news for the large number of pilgrims coming for darshan to Yamunotri, Gangotri, Badrinath and Kedarnath in the Uttarakhand hills. The Joint Rotation Transport System Committee, an association of bus operators, has decided not to raise bus fares despite the latest increase in fuel prices by the Centre.Committee president Gambhir Singh Bhandari on Friday said the transporters had decided to bear the losses on account of the fuel price hike themselves so that the pilgrims were not penalised. "This is Dev Bhoomi and we believe in Atithi Devo Bhavo and would like to make the yatra as safe and comfortable for everyone," Mr Bhandari said.
"The gesture is also aimed at attracting a larger number of pilgrims so that the local economy thrives," he added.
Meanwhile, BJP workers burnt effigies of the UPA Government at Vikas Nagar, Roorkee, Haldwani and Almora to protest against the fuel price hike.
BJP CMs reluctant to cut taxes
The steep hike in the prices of petroleum products may have provided a potent political weapon to the BJP, but chief ministers (CMs) of party-ruled states do not seem too eager to slash sales tax on these products to give respite to the people. This despite an appeal by BJP president Rajnath Singh.
Uttarakhand CM BC Khanduri has fired the first salvo, ruling out any sales tax cut on petroleum products. He wants the Centre to first drastically reduce central taxes.
"We have already reduced VAT in Uttarakhand from 12 to 4%. More reduction in taxes will paralyse the state's economy," Khanduri said.
Just for info pls.

Dear PG Group Members,
The article of Neeraj Joshi on http://www.visfot.com/ got tremendous reaction. But, on the same time many Members have some querry about the PALAYAN. Now Neeraj has put another article on why the PALAYAN took place. I think everybody except the new generation knows about it. But new generation has should also know why and what we people are doing in this pardesh (hell).
Please let me know your views on this also.
