I first heard of ROSE Kanda from my cousin, who had done volunteer work there in February 2009. His praises of the beauty of Kanda and the hospitality of Jeevan and his family convinced me to come and see what Kanda is all about.

Upon arriving in Haldwani train station, I was a little uneasy at the thought of being alone, in a strange place before sunrise searching for someone who was supposed to pick me up. But as soon as I stepped off the train I was spotted by Jeevan’s son, Jeet. I breathed a sigh of relief. He and I headed to Jeevan’s daughter’s place in town where she studied. There, I met Jeevans oldest and youngest daughter and Jeet’s wife. After a nap and a delicious breakfast, we headed out for a very long, but very beautiful car ride up to Kanda.

I had time to spend only a week at ROSE Kanda during which I got the opportunity to see the Himalayas, eat some of the tastiest food I’ve ever had, volunteer in a school, visit some beautiful temples, stroll through gorgeous fields, drink fresh spring water, learn a few words of Hindi, eat with my hands, learned how cricket is played, take my first bucket shower, and be treated like a member of a true Indian family. Jeevan and his family are warm and inviting and their hospitality was truly appreciated. It was an experience like no other and I am glad to have had such a wonderful opportunity.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at talie16na@hotmail.com.

Rural Tourism opportunity in Uttarakhand India

Jeevan Paying Guest Unit Registered by Tourism Department
collaboration with the Rural Organization for Social Elevation
(R.O.S.E.) is introduced as a noble effort in Village / Eco
tourism/home stay in rural India. It was founded in 1981 by local
residents concerned about the plight of the poor in the Kanda area of
Uttarakhand, India. In 1988 Jeevan Paying Guest Unit / ROSE began
accepting International and Domestic tourists (students / visitors/
eco tourists/ village tourists/ nature tourist/ home stay tourist/
holiday tourists/spiritual tourists/institutional tourists /organic
farm tourists/social help tourists ) . Since then Jeevan Paying Guest
Unit / ROSE has accepted many tourists from all over the world to
study, holiday enjoyment, spiritual meditation, gaining knowledge &
skill and live immersed in village life and the local culture as home
stay from 1 week to 25 weeks. It is a unique approach to tourism that
supports and uplifts the local community .JPGU /ROSE is currently
trying to reach out like-minded individual ,schools, collages,
universities and Tourism Information Center / agents/ tour operators
in order to form a network to share information and bring awareness to
its existence. International visitors from many different countries
are exposed to the Kumaoni sustainable village lifestyle , culture ,
environment, ecology ,biodiversity, traditional organic farming
,livestock rearing, wildlife ,bird watching ,natural beauty, unique
organic cooking with lifesaving spices , spring safe drinking water
skill , knowledge, spirituality and rural development. Since one
defines himself while meetings difference, eco tourists are also a
good opportunity for the locals to realize the importance of their
culture. When living and talking with eco tourists, Kanda’s people
have to explain every aspect of their culture which make them realize
the beauty of their culture. Besides, Village tourism has encouraged
locals to organize cultural events to share with the visitors. These
are opportunities for the eldest members of the community to share
their tradition with the youngest. Indeed ecotourism allow
transmission of the culture from one generation to another. To find
out more about JPGU /ROSE, the work it does, and the opportunities it
provides for tourists, please visit-
