Juhi Koranga - A Kumaoni Woman Promoting Indigenous Mountain Tourism.

Juhi Koranga - A Kumaoni Woman Promoting Indigenous Mountain Tourism. In the days of yore, the Kumaon region, Almora and its surroundings used to be a quiet, sleepy Himalayan outpost, blessed with magnificent Himalayan vistas and a trading hub. The eerie silence of the Himalayas and the pristine mountain environ has for a long time been luring writers, poets and artists to rejuvenate themselves. It goes without saying that creative people find the Kumaon Himalayas (Almora and beyond) particularly conducive for creative pursuits and have found fulfilment here. Off late, the stupendous cultural diversity, aka Indigenous culture of the Kumaon region has touched the chord of today’s discerning traveller. Needless to say, a journey through the rugged Kumaoni mountain landscape is a stellar experience, an assault on your senses through culture, cuisine, history, heritage and dance. In a world reeling under global warming and climate crisis, the Indian state of Uttarakhand comes as a breath of fresh air. With the snow capped high Himalayan peaks like Nanda Devi(7816m), Chaukhamba(7138m), Panchchuli(6904), Trishul(7120m).....standing like sentinels, the peace loving people of Uttarakhand along with the state government’s nodal Tourism department have taken a vow to protect the state’s fragile Himalayan ecosystem through a series of eco-friendly measures like encouraging home stay options in lieu of the commercially profitable multi-storied apartment hotels, promoting immersive holidays with the stress on taking tourism to the villages and hamlets; the idea is to make tourism ecologically sensitive and thereby offer high value experiences. In the Post Covid world, visitors worldwide have unequivocally shown preference towards visiting Carbon Neutral destinations, where nature is pristine, the culture unscathed by modernity and distinctive cultural traits are well preserved. No wonder, the Kumaon Himalayas (Almora & surroundings) is the melting pot of tribal/indigenous people – Tharus, Bhutiyas, Jaunsaris, Buksas and Rajis, whose fascinating lifestyle, belief systems, cuisine, jewellery design and folklore have all endeared themselves within the minds of today’s discerning travellers. Embarking on a Tribal Tour of Kumaon Himalayas could be life changing and transformative. Out here, travel is slow. The essence is on immersion and engagement with the local folks. The roads are intimidating, yet, the natural vistas, flora and fauna are just fabulous. Sometimes, you keep hiking for hours together with not a soul to be seen! Each tribe is unique with their own set of belief systems in place. For Instance, the Tharus are matrilineal and women are the torchbearers of society. The colourful Jaunsaris on the other hand are one of the world’s last remaining Polyandric societies. The Bhotiyas are distinctive with their Tibeto-Mongoloid features and are expert weavers. My good friend Juhi Koranga who hails from the bewitching hill station of Almora has been guiding visitors from affluent Western countries like USA,UK, Canada, Australia and Germany through her company – Kumaon Safar and Oh God! most of her guests are repeat visitors to Kumaon, which speaks volumes about the regions astonishing beauty and surreal charm. Visitors from abroad who come in search of peace and solitude are provided high quality accommodation in rugged Kumaoni Wooden cottages on self-service basis. Julia Koranga’s itineraries are quintessentially curated for Slow Travel/Conscious Travel. She takes extra care in choosing the cottages. All the windows and balconies offer 360 degree uninterrupted views of the stunning snow covered Himalayan peaks. In the cozy confines of these Kumaoni Mountain Huts, the good old times resonate gracefully. As the red molten ball dips across the Himalayan vistas, it is time to huddle together besides the crackling fireplace, strumming your Guitar, and indulge in your favourite tipple. The all pervading peace inside and the snowfalls outside is nature’s invitation to you, reminding you yet again those immortal words of Roger Ebert – “The very fact of snow is such an amazement”. Juhi Koranga’s untiring efforts to showcase not just the Kumaoni Himalayas, but, also the stupendous tribal diversity of the region is beginning to have a positive rub-off effect on the village folks, particularly Sitlakhet and Balsa Gaon. These picturesque villages receive a regular stream of visitors from abroad, which has metamorphosed into a precious bond of friendship. The stellar element of this unique friendship bond is that there is no superfluous demands imposed on the village communities. Discerning visitors appreciate the fact that the Kumaon Himalayas is earmarked for “Slow Tourism/Immersive Tourism” and they want the villages to retain their original, centuries old charm. Although, transportation and roads remain below par, yet there are no complaints; the cultural immersion into the Kumaoni folklore, legends and traditions are far more important. Indeed, what a joy it is to see local folks engaged in serving HNW guests from abroad, some of whom are millionaires in their own rights, partaking the local food prepared so lovingly by the womenfolk, while the men are busy guiding visitors on trek, hiking to remote hamlets and offering them every possible help enroute. With fulfilment writ large on her face, apart from overseeing the Indegenous Tourism operations from her cozy mountain home in Almora and the wellbeing of the her team, Juhi is focussed in ensuring a “No Nonsense” approach when it comes to the question of preserving Kumaon’s fragile Himalayan eco-system and Indigenous diversity. According to Juhi – “In spite of the onslaught of modernity Kumaoni people have fiercely kept its biodiversity protected, vehemently forsaking attempts of commercialization of the tourism phenomenon. I come from a Fauji family and my step grandfather Late Dewan Singh Koranga and later on Shri Nandan Singh Koranga, the later in particular served with great distinction in one of Indian Army’s oldest and most decorated infantry unit – the Kumaon Regiment.” On a typical jungle safari to Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary, Juhi can be seen in an hyper excited mode – crafting the itinerary, route to be followed during the Safari, Kumaoni villages to visit, checking the condition of the 4x4 Wheel drive vehicles, arranging the logistics like tents, food etc... In short, Juhi’s pre-Safari preparedness is worth emulating as she leaves nothing to chance, knowing fully well that one mistake on those treacherous wilderness trails in Binsar could be disastrous! The Kumaon region might not be on the bucket list of travelers, yet, it is unputdownable and off the beaten track. No other Himalayan zone in India offers the kind of Himalayan spectacle – an uninterrupted sight of a 300 Kms. stretch with powdery peaks like Nanda Devi, Nanda Kot, Kedarnath, Panchachuli...... all lined up as if a beauty pageant was on! The Kumaoni culture and adventure experience is very well summed up by Juhi herself – “My late step grandfather Shri Dewan Singh Ji was fortunate to enough to spend a lot of time with Jim Corbett at a time when the entire Kumaon Himalayas was infested and terrified with dangerous Maneaters (Tigers and Leopards). We grew up listening to stories about Corbett’s courage in confronting the Big Cats. However, for us Kumaonis, we do not consider Tigers and Leopards as predators; rather, we believe that their presence is an indication that our ecosystem is healthy. Perhaps, this attitude originated from the great Hunter-turned – Conservationist Jim Corbett himself, who first instilled in us the need to be sympathetic to the Big Cats”. 10 Stellar Reasons to Visit Uttarakhand: Uttarakhand is India’s spiritual capital and blessed with countless pilgrimage sites like Dev Haridwar, Rishikesh, Kedarnath, Gangotri, Yamunotri. Rishikesh is considered to be the Yoga Capital of the world. The highest peak of India - Nanda Devi (7816m) is in Uttarakhand. Uttarakhand is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Valley of Flowers and Nanda Devi National Park. “Lake District of India”, Nainital is India’s very own Lake District. There are two famous mountaineering institute which is in Uttarakhand - The Nehru Institute of Mountaineering situated in Uttarkashi and Pandit Nain Singh Surveyor Mountaineering training institute situated an altitude of 2200 m in Munsiyari, Uttarakhand. The state is home to two of the most sacred rivers in Hinduism – the Ganges and the Yamuna. The origin of the Ganges is the holy mountain Gangotri, while the origin of the Yamuna is the holy lake Yamunotri. The two rivers originate from different parts of the state. Jim Corbett National Park of Nainital district is the oldest national park in India which was established in 1936 for the protection of the Royal Bengal Tiger. The park is situated at the foothills of the Himalayas in the Nainital district of Uttarakhand. The first Agriculture University of India “Govind Ballabh Pant University” which paved the way for the Green Revolution of India was established in 1960 in Pantnagar. Geo-strategically very important as Uttarakhand shares its international border with China in northeast and Nepal in southeast. Length of international border shares with China is 463 Km and that along Nepal is 303 Km. Total international border length of Uttarakhand is 766 Km.

Manish Garg on Why True Hospitality is About Heartfelt Service, Not Just Luxury

Manish Garg, General Manager of Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn Bengaluru Embassy Manyata Business Park, is a dynamic leader in hospitality, dedicated to crafting exceptional experiences. His career began in food and beverage operations before stepping into leadership roles with prestigious global hotel brands. With a background in both India and the UK, Manish has become known for shaping luxury hospitality and leading successful pre-opening projects. An alumnus of the Institute of Hotel Management in Chennai and the Australian International Hotel School, his foundation in hotel management is complemented by a passion for operational excellence and team leadership. In this insightful conversation, Manish shares how Hilton is embracing innovation, enhancing guest expectations, and setting itself apart in Bengaluru's vibrant hospitality scene. Innovation in Service Manish emphasizes that true hospitality is about creating memorable experiences. A perfect example came during a recent wedding hosted at Hilton Bengaluru, where the event team created a "Wanderlust" theme, incorporating flavors from Italy, Morocco, and India to celebrate the couple’s love for travel. This personalized touch was complemented by a walk-through gallery of their travel memories, elevating the event into a deeply personal experience. Hilton also hosted an unforgettable event for Tata Consumer Products, where chefs curated an innovative culinary journey that seamlessly integrated the brand into the menu. This interactive experience showcased how creativity and collaboration can redefine event hospitality. Catering to Diverse Guests Bengaluru’s dynamic nature requires constant evolution, and Hilton meets this challenge head-on.

Strategically located near business districts, the properties offer an ideal blend of convenience, with state-of-the-art event spaces and personalized service tailored to every guest’s needs. Redefining Luxury For Manish, luxury today goes beyond opulence—it’s about personalization and seamless comfort. Digital Key access, voice-command smart rooms, and AI-driven chatbots ensure a tech-savvy, personalized experience for every guest. At Hilton, innovation extends to sustainability efforts, such as the LightStay program, which helps guests make environmentally conscious choices during events. A Culture of Service Excellence Hilton’s success can be attributed to its people. Manish focuses on creating an inclusive culture where recognition and continuous learning are prioritized. Initiatives like ‘Shakti at Hilton’ and leadership mentoring programs empower team members to go above and beyond for guests, ensuring every interaction is exceptional.

From tailored dining experiences to wellness offerings, Hilton creates memorable stays, making every guest feel valued and at home. Sustainability and Luxury Hilton’s commitment to sustainability is evident through initiatives like a zero single-use plastic policy, operating on renewable energy, and the innovative in-house water bottling plant.
