Summer Camp Report
The Department of Tourism Studies, Central University Kashmir (CUK) in collaboration with The Business School, University of Kashmir organised a 4-day summer camp for the students of both varsities in Bungus Valley and other adjoining areas.
From the classrooms to the natural tapestries, the camp merged learning with fun, and provided the students a platform to acquire knowledge through empirical evidence.
The job for conducting the camp, which was held from September 19 to 21, was entrusted to Mr. Ashaq Hussain Najar, Assistant Professor and Tour Coordinator (CUK) and Dr. Riyaz Qureshi, Assistant Professor and Tour Coordinator, University of Kashmir. As many as 24 students from Department of Tourism Studies, Central University of Kashmir, comprising seven girls and 16 boys escorted by two male and a female faculty member participated in the camp.
During the tour, the students visited several areas of attraction like Bungas, Drangyari and Lolab, which provided rewarding experiences to them. The students identified the possibilities for development of diversified tourism products in and around the destinations like adventure and eco-tourism. The extreme natural beauty, serenity and splendour are few synonyms associated with these destinations holding great potential for adventure tourism like trekking, hiking, mountain climbing, para gliding, parachuting etc and also culture/eco/rural/gastronomic tourism. They got an opportunity to come up with the development model for proposed site in the form of research papers and projects. They also got exposure of rural tourism by interacting with the locals and witnessed “spit roasting” which is the part of the syllabus in 4th semester hospitality section.
