BHUTAN; Nabji-Korphu Eco- tourism

The package is for 13 days, with 6 days of trekking. It is low altitude trekking and best suited in winter.
This trek was opened to tourist only in November 2006 as pilot project on community based tourism. 
Each village has a Tourism Management Committee (TMC), as appointed by the villagers. The TMC will monitor and control the services. The revenue so generated will go directly into Community Development Fund (CDF) bank account.
On rotation basis, individuals from different villages generate income through pottering from village to village, assisting as cook, or village guide. Other activities generating income include cultural performances, sales of crafts, vegetables and other agricultural products. The TMC decides the deposit on certain percentage of the revenue generated from the individual tourism activities into the CDF bank account. The accumulated fund can be used by the communities for their village development activities, children education and expansion and maintenance of the tourism related infrastructure. The fund can be used to support initiatives which involve those who are not directly involved in tourism development (especially children and elderly)
