उत्तराखण्ड, होम स्टे योजना पर्यटन विभाग की महत्वाकांक्षी योजना है। हालांकि यह बात अलग है कि इसके के लिए लोगों को खुद ही सबकुछ करना होगा। अपने कमरों को पर्यटकों के लिहाज से डेवलेप करने, डेवलेप करने के बाद मार्केटिंग के लिए भी सरकार की हायर की गई एजेंसी को मोटी रकम देनी होगी। इस योजना के लिए पर्यटन मंत्री सतपाल महाराज भले ही युवाओं को लोने देने की बात कर रहे हों, लेकिन ऐसा है नहीं खैर…इस पर फिर कभी विस्तार से चर्चा करेंगे। आज आपको बताते हैं कि पर्यटन विभाग की ओर से दिसंबर माह में बागेश्वर और पिथौरागढ़ के बीच नामिक ग्लेशियर पर विंटर इंटरनेशनल माउंटेन डे आयोजित करने की तैयारी में जुटा है। लिति में इसका बेस कैंप होगा। खास बात यह है कि इस माउंटेन डे का यूएस की कंपनी ऐफओयू अपनी वेबसाइट पर सीधा प्रसारण करेगी। दुनिया के कोने-कोने में बैठे लोग इस इवेंट को देख सकेंगे। मीसूस कर सकेंगे उत्तराखंड के पहाड़ों के रोमांच को। पर्यटन विभाग ने इसके लिए तैयारियां भी शुरु कर दी हैं।

बागेश्वर और पिथौरागढ़ जिले के बीच नामिक ग्लेशियर दिसंबर में पर्यटकों से गुलजार होगा। देश के साथ ही विदेशी पर्यटक इस ग्लेशियर पर ट्रेकिंग करेंगे। शानदार कार्यक्रम भी आयोजित किए जाएंगे। इस माउंटेन डे से होम स्टे व्यवसाय से जुड़े लोगों को बड़ा लाभ होने जा रहा है। कई नए होम स्टे डेस्टिनेशन भी बनेंगे। पर्यटन विभाग ग्लेशियर तक पहुंचने के रास्ते में आने वाले एक किलोमीटर के दायरे में आने वाले गांवों में होम स्टे डेवलेप कराने की योजना पर काम कर रहा है। स्थानीय लोगों को इसके लिए तैयार किया जा रहा है। लोगों को बाकायदा ट्रेनिंग दी जाएगी। पर्यटकों से बात करने से लेकर उनको अपनी संस्कृति के बारे में बताने तक सभी बातें सिखाई जाएंगी।

परोसे जाएंगे स्थानीय व्यंजन

माउंटेन डे पर आने वाले पर्यटकों, सरकारी अमले और अन्य लोगों को होम स्टे डिस्टिनेशन पर केवल पहाड़ी खाना यानी मंडुये की रोटी, झंगोरे की खीर, भटवाणी, फांणू, थिचौणी जैसे भोजन परोसे जाएंगे। साथ ही उनको इनसे होने वाले फायदों के बारे में भी बताया जाएगा। मकसद साफ कि अपने पहाड़ के खान-पान और संस्कृति से देश-दुनिया को रु-ब-रु कराना है।

हर साल डेवलेप होगा एक ट्रेक रुट

पर्यटन विभाग की योजनाओं को सरकारी ग्रहण और फाइलों के ढेर में दबने से बचा लिया गया तो अलगे कुछ सालों में अच्छे परिणाम देखने को मिल सकते हैं। दयारा बुग्याल, चांशील बुग्याल और नामिक की तरह सरकार हर साल एक ट्रेक रुट को डेवलेप करेगी। इनके आस-पास के गांवों में होम स्टे योजना को लागू कर लोगों को इससे जोड़ा जाएगा। सबकुछ सही रहा तो लोगों को इससे खासा लाभ हो सकता है। पलायन पर रोक की भी उम्मीद जगेगी। जरुरत है कि सरकार और सरकारी अमला इमानदारी से योजना पर काम कर उसे धरातल पर उतारे।
