Abstract Abstract–
“Based on the prominence of physical and human factors, geography has traditionally been divided into two main branches – (1) Human Geography & (2) Physical Geography’’.1 A sub-branch of Human–Geography, Tourism geography understands the relationships and interactions between nature, the human-made environment, and tourism.Tourism is a distinct geographical phenomenon that involves the movement of people between a place of origin and a destination for leisure and tourism purposes with the concept of sustainable development.The most well-known mantra of Aitereya Brahman Upanishad is "Charaiveti Charaiveti"2 which means keep moving Forward. This mantra inspired people to travel outside their homes and later it appeared in a refined form as eco tourism. It would not be an exaggeration to say that “Rajasthan is synonymous with the cultural tourism of India”.3 “Rajasthan is generally divided into four major Geographical Regions, 1. Desert Region 2. Aravalli Mountain Region 3. Eastern Plain Region 4. South-Eastern Plateau Region”.4 Among the above geographical regions, Bhilwara district is an integral part of the Aravalli mountainous region and the Eastern plain region of Rajasthan. Spread between 25 degrees 21 minutes north latitude to 25 degrees 35 minutes north latitude and 74 degrees 38 minutes east longitude to 74 degrees 63 minutes east longitude5, Bhilwara district is known for its natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage. Tourism can be divided into various types on the basis of their purpose/objective, although it’s nature is integrated and tourist visit places for more than one purpose. Through Eco-Tourism, we can benefit the cultural heritage of this district and the local communities. “Hamirgarh Eco Park” and “Menal Waterfall” , located in Bhilwara district have been developed under Eco Tourism Policy of Rajasthan,2021.
