Jammu Province is a subtropical region with ten administrative districts, Kashmir Valley is temperate region with ten administrative districts, and trans-Himalayan Ladakh is high altitude cold desert with two administrative districts. Elevation of state varies from 300 to 7000 m. This diversity of landscape and climate is reflected in the rich diversity of state's cultural, social, and biological diversity. State of Jammu and Kashmir is one of the best gifts of nature on earth with abundance of verdant valleys, high rising mountain peaks, some of the biggest and longest glaciers, thick forests, highly productive alpine pastures, number of fresh and brackish water lakes, millions of migratory birds, rich wildlife and rare snow leopard, scenic areas, waterfalls, ethnic tribes and typical art and architecture of historical buildings. State has number of national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and wetlands providing an opportunity to the state to promote eco-tourism. These natural assets make Jammu and Kashmir State as one of the best destinations for the eco-tourism in the world. Tourism is the key sector of Jammu and Kashmir's economy and accounts for 6.98% of the state's GDP. In the paper, an attempt has been made to describe the eco-tourism destinations of the state using a methodology of primary and secondary data, government sources, and direct visit to the sites. The survey and study of some of the important eco-destinations were carried out in the year 2014 using SWOT methodology. In the paper also some of the success stories of eco-tourism practices introduced in the year 2003-2004 have been discussed. Based on best practices, in the paper, eco-tourism policy and the vision to develop these destinations have been discussed. |
