Mayurbhanj district has rich Santhal tribal heritage plus Simlipal Tiger Reserve (one of India's largest biosphere reserves). A combined operator running a Santhal-craft cooperative plus eco-tourism services (Simlipal safaris, tribal-village heritage tours, photography expeditions) captures both heritage and modern streams.
Capex of 12-25 lakh covers shared workshop tools, tourism vehicle, accommodation arrangements, and 6 months of working capital. DCH (handicrafts) plus Odisha Tourism's eco-tourism scheme jointly fund up to 50% capex. Hard parts: managing two operating models, Forest Department permits, and ethical tribal-tourism standards. Start with crafts (steady year-round); eco-tourism in year 2.
