Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board (UTDB) recently decided to promote Niti Valley (located in the state on the old trade route to Tibet). K P Sharma, who is a member of the Board and also IATO chapter Chairman of Uttarakhand, conducted a detail study on Niti Valley and has suggested the addition of infrastructure like small tourist rest house, artificial lake and camping facilities for better promotion of the place. As a result, the state government is working on the development and promotion of the Valley. Sharma has also sought support of the central government by sending a letter to S. Banerjee, Secretary Tourism, Government of India, requesting assistance to promote the place and provide it with good infrastructure.
The new destination, Niti Valley, which has been recently opened to foreign and Indian tourist, has a wide range of interesting features to showcase. According to Sharma, villagers of Niti Valley practice an interesting hospitality custom-two families of the village take over the responsibility to offer daily prayers to the village deity for a year.
