People are migrating to the towns in plains in search of jobs, while this renion has the best scenic beauty in India. The only industry which can be developed in this region is TOURISM. Having explored the potential of tourism, the _Nolen can develop its own economy. First of all infrastructure for domestic tourism/pilgrimage should be provided, and then afterwards this will act as base for international tourism.
