Uttarkashi is the gateway district to Gangotri Dham (one of Char Dham) and to popular treks (Dayara Bugyal, Har Ki Dun). The yatra season (Apr-Oct) brings substantial pilgrim flow, but slow-tourism trekking demand has grown strongly post-pandemic. A combined operator running pilgrim accommodation and meal services during yatra season plus curated trekking expeditions and high-altitude products (yarsagumba mushroom, jatamansi, traditional medicines) captures both streams.
Capex of 10-25 lakh covers a small property, basic kitchen, trekking equipment, and brand work. MUDRA Tarun + Uttarakhand Tourism Department's mountain-tourism subsidy fund the build. Hard parts: extreme seasonal concentration (6-month operating window), trained guides for trekking, and managing accommodation across two distinct user types (pilgrims + trekkers). Realistic: profitable from year 2 if both streams develop in parallel.
