Governor Lauds Pukhri’s Eco-Tourism Model: A Blueprint for Himachal’s Future?

Himachal Pradesh Governor paid a visit to the enchanting village of Pukhri on July 28, 2025, expressing his deep admiration for its pristine beauty and unique sustainable tourism model. He lauded the village’s commitment to eco-friendly practices.

The Governor stressed the crucial balance between preserving Pukhri’s natural environment and boosting tourism revenue. He highlighted the need for strategic infrastructure development to support increased visitor numbers.

His visit underscored the state government’s focus on promoting rural tourism. This strategy aims to stimulate economic growth in remote areas while safeguarding the rich cultural heritage of Himachal Pradesh.

A recently signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) further strengthens this initiative, targeting the development of previously unexplored destinations across the state. This promises to unlock new opportunities for both local communities and the tourism sector.

The success of Pukhri’s model offers valuable lessons for other villages in Himachal Pradesh and beyond, demonstrating how sustainable tourism can contribute significantly to rural development and economic prosperity while preserving India’s invaluable natural and cultural legacy.
