How a small Uttarakhand town is becoming a major tourist destination

Vinita Chouhan, member of a self-help group based out of Mussoorie, has put up a shop in Buranskhanda as the place has started witnessing lots of tourists. They have also set up shops in Dhanaulti, Mussoori, the Dehradun trade fair, and the India International Trade Fair in Delhi. "We sell woollen clothes and traditional Garhwali food items like 'Urad dal pakora', 'Jhangore Ki Kheer', 'Mandve Ki Roti', and 'Kandali Ki Sabzi'." "About 100 women are engaged in weaving woollen items like shawls, sweaters, caps, and socks. Another 10-15 women make papad, chips, pickles, and other items," she said.
