Himachal Pradesh is known for its breathtaking natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, agreeable climate, verdant forests, and immaculate rivers. It gives the state a great deal of ecotourism potential. Simply said, ecotourism is the practice of visiting natural regions with the utmost care and without causing harm to the environment. It provides socioeconomic development for nearby towns with an emphasis on community development. Because ecotourism gives visitors the opportunity to interact with locals and fully immerse themselves in the environment, it is preferred by tourists who want a really unique experience. As a sustainable tourist strategy that prioritizes community development and environmental preservation, ecotourism has grown in popularity. The environment of the mountainous state of Himachal Pradesh is delicate. On the one hand, ecotourism provides prospects for growth, while on the other, it offers a sustainable kind of tourism. Through a survey of the literature, this research seeks to clarify the potential, difficulties, and opportunities of ecotourism in Himachal Pradesh. The state has promise for adventure, cultural, and nature-based ecotourism. To make sure that the benefits stay in the host community and don't spread to other areas or states, it is crucial to use this potential very carefully.
