Have you ever gone on a mountain trek with a female guide in India?
While it’s common in parts of the world with greater social equity, it’s still a rarity in rural India - where women have traditionally been kept at home, with little access to livelihood alternatives. The lack of resources and income opportunities makes them highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, especially on agriculture, against which they have little resilience.
This short documentary film explores community based tourism in the Indian Himalayas, with a focus on the journey of Tirthan Valley’s first group of rural women guides. In a male dominated sector, these local mountain women are challenging traditions and social norms, with the support of social enterprise Himalayan Ecotourism.
