Uttarakhand turns to trekking to boost tourist footfalls

And the gamble seems to be paying off. A large contingent of trekkers - 780 - who have enrolled themselves with the trek will be arriving in Munsyari on May 4. The Youth Hostel of India and Kumayun Mandal Vikas Nigam have been assigned the task of hosting the trekkers. To pep up the mood of trekkers, a photo competition has also been organized, officials said.
