Under a new project, tourists will now get to live and feel the real India.
It’s time that tourists coming to India get to romance with the real India — the one that lives in the villages. As part of a rural tourism project, the ministry of tourism, along with UNDP, has identified 36 rural sites in 20 states across India based on their specialisation in art, craft, culture or even natural environment.
In fact, 12 of these villages are ready and all set to open their gates to the world soon. The ministry has also spread the word asking the tour operators to integrate these villages into their itineraries.
