We tend to start looking for a holiday spot such as a hill station or resort when holidays are around the corner. But the purpose of going to such places is that we are aching for a pollution-free, calm and peaceful place in the lap of the Mother Nature.

Yes, you read that right, the only way to get your mind and body cleansed and fresh, is going on Agrotourism. Agro-tourism is an agricultural tourism, which can be known as Agritourism or agritainment.

Agrotourism has been widespread in numerous regions of India and other countries as well. It is the intersection of agriculture and tourism.

In any case, it is time to avail the opportunity of knowing the ins and outs of the Agritourism and plan a memorable day for your loved ones.
Agro-tourism is being practiced in India since 2004. It is quite a popular concept in other countries like United States, United Kingdom, Italy, and Malaysia. Agro-tourism can be well successful in places with agricultural heritage, and India has a high potential in this sector.

Agritourism with Family and Friends

An outing with your loved ones can become one of the best memories to recall. And the memories can be created efficiently if the activities are performed together. That is what separates the agro-tourism from the regular tourism. The agricultural activities that you perform can be the best experience and learn about your family, which you can use in your life ahead. You can also become a pro at such on-farm activities and visit the farm now and then to enjoy the best tourism.
