Namsai is home to the Golden Pagoda (Kongmu Kham) — one of India's largest gilded Buddhist stupas — and the cultural heart of the Tai Khamti Buddhist community. Tourism infrastructure is thin despite genuine heritage value. A homestay aggregator working with 15-25 Khamti households (basic upgrades, hospitality training, online distribution) plus a curated tour service offering pagoda-and-monastery routes, traditional food experiences, and Khamti craft demonstrations captures the slow-tourism premium.
Capex of ₹12-30 lakh covers homestay onboarding, transport vehicle, training, and brand/distribution work. NEC's tourism subsidy (35% capital grant for new tourism enterprises in NE) plus MUDRA Tarun fund the build. Hard parts: standardising hospitality across independent homestays, building Tripadvisor/Booking.com presence from scratch, and managing seasonality. Realistic 65% occupancy at scale; ₹3-5 lakh net at year 3.
