DESIA -the story of Koraput valley

Desia believes in responsible tourism which aims to bring maximum positive benefit of tourism to the local community with minimum negative impact on environment, culture etc .

When you stay at DESIA , you are connected with locals and their stories , day today life , fair’s and festival in an authentic manner .You can very well experince the rich cultural heritage of this region and also see how your travel is meaningful which empowers local youth’s , in particular the women in this remote and tribal dominated Koraput valley in ODISHA at Eastern INDIA .

Being a hardcore traveller and practitioner of responsible tourism , I can understand both hosts and guests in a different prospective away from normal tourism activities .I have 30 years of experience in this travel industry as a micro level entrepreneur with small initiave like inbound tour company under title HERITAGE TOURS since 1997 , a restaurant at PURI under title WILDGRASS which promote EAT LOCAL , running a heritage hotel under title Hotel Z and a founder of ODISHA ECOTOURISM FOUNDATION which works for plasticfree tourist destination . I STRONGLY BELIVE THAT TOURISM CAN NOT ONLY CREATE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES , BUT ALSO IT CONNECTS CULTURES , PEOPLE FOR A BETTER understanding of WORLD .This reflects in my work at every step.
