Souvenir Shop – Empowering Women Through Tradition

Nestled within the eco-tourism zone, our charming souvenir shop, built in an eco-friendly bamboo hut, offers more than just mementos—it offers a story of empowerment and culture. Run by a dedicated Self-Help Group (SHG) of local women, the shop showcases a vibrant collection of handcrafted items that reflect the rich traditions of the Kumaon region. From intricate Kumaoni Aipan paintings to eco-conscious handicrafts, textiles, pickles and locally-sourced products, each piece is lovingly crafted by women artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations. By purchasing from the shop, visitors not only take home a piece of Kumaon's cultural heritage but also directly support the livelihoods of these talented women. It’s the perfect place to find a meaningful keepsake while contributing to community-based conservation and sustainable rural development.
