If given a choice, I would always pick staying in a tree house rather than some regular hotel room. Apart from how cool it looks, the tree house concept promotes sustainable living without causing any damage to natural surrounding.
Sources have to say that we will get to stay in a tree house in Uttarakhand Forests from early next year. Best new year surprise for travellers, isn't it?
The Uttarakhand forest department will open up a tree house for the tourists in the Fato range of the Terai west forest division. This is near Ramnagar in Nainital. And, yes, this would be the first tree house which will opened for tourists in the Himalayan state's jungles.
"As the structure has been built in the bio-diversity-rich Terai west forest division, visitors will get to enjoy sightings of tiger, elephant and deer while sitting in the comfort of their rooms in a tree house. The cost per night for booking the tree house would be around Rs. 10 to 15,000", said Balwant Shahi, divisional forest officer, Terai West forest division.
That's not all. The forest department is also expected to inaugurate a jungle safari in the Fato range around Christmas. This initiative would also provide employment opportunities to local youth.
