With above 70% population residing in around 6 million plus villages, real India has its roots right inside this simplistic structure. With Rural Tourism, we try to take you to a journey of not so known – the land and people which is the back bone of this country. It is a journey to explore diversity and hospitality from nook and corners of Rural India.</subtitle><link rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#feed' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ruralzing.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1826673777084303942/posts/default?max-results=100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ruralzing.blogspot.com/'/><link rel='hub' href='http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/'/><author><name>Pritam Kumar Sinha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10134782829054065052</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_kMPl12FiuAk/R1qrMv1NU2I/AAAAAAAAAAs/qWsGbtQqKm8/S220/Pritam.JPG'/></author><generator version='7.00' uri='http://www.blogger.com'>Blogger</generator><openSearch:totalResults>1</openSearch:totalResults><openSearch:startIndex>1</openSearch:startIndex><openSearch:itemsPerPage>100</openSearch:itemsPerPage><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826673777084303942.post-8257848550584947041</id><published>2007-12-08T19:31:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2007-12-21T22:08:22.223+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rural tourism india'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bangalore'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rural tourism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rural india'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='karnataka'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rural development'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rural'/><title type='text'>Rural Tourism - An Initiative to connect urban and rural economy.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;Here is an attempt to take you away to a dream land full of peace, simplicity and innocence. Connect with nature, unlearn luxury, and spend time with people who support your life by providing the raw inputs for complex city life needs. From agriculture to sericulture, they do it all. What you explore during these tours is a unique experience and an eye opener to the basics of a developing economy. You not only get to see rural life closely, but also get a chance to connect and open avenues for rural India by interacting with people closely. We choose a bouquet of exclusive cultural coverage from different states of India to bring in the real sense of diversity for travel thirsty souls.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;While for corporate people, this gives a day off to go back to roots, for school children it is an opportunity to get close to nature and learn about flora and fauna. This is a day off to old days for senior citizens and an opportunity to see the India described in novels for people across country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Walk the path - Come meet the real India and experience the Zing.&lt;/strong&gt;
