Rural Organization for Social Elevation and Village Tourism

Founded by members of the Kanda community in 1981, ROSE (also known as Koormanchal Seva Samsthan) is a community-based NGO working with locals and volunteers to improve the health, education and quality of life of the rural poor in this region while maintaining cultural integrity and ecological balance.

The rural community is located high in the mountains of Northern India, a truly gorgeous setting. Tourists are able to stay in the town, learn about local social projects, and guided tours are available through the mountainous region.
