The Times of India published an article saying which restricted areas are now open to foreigners for mountaineering-type pursuits. This is going to highly imact tourism in Ladakh.
I wonder if this is India's way to lay claim to previously restricted areas... if J & K state then makes tourism dollars off of peaks in the southeaster corridor of the Karakoram, Pakistan and China cannot very well claim any of that land is belonging to them, can they. The closer India pushes toward the borders, the more tenuous the situation may get.
Don't know if this is such a good idea, India.
And Ladakh, it's time for you to dial up the sustainable eco-tourism business strategies. Helena Norberg-Hodge, where are you when we need you!
