bringing to Himachal Pradesh the kind of investment that could make
this small  mountainous state a hub of eco tourism and a must try
destination for any avid  skier. In the last week of October, Ford
flew to shimla to present the project  report of his Himachal Ski
Village (HSV) to stat chief minister Virbhadra  Singh. With a MoU and
a go ahead from the state cabinet now in his bad, Ford  hopes to have
the technical clearances by the end of the year and targeting a  2009
opening.
>       HSV has been conceptualized as a world-class ski-facility in
the Dhauladhar ranges of the Himalayas, above the Kullu-Manali area
that Indian  tourists throng in summer. The chosen site is already
popular with the  international heli-skiing set. It has the finest of
the skiing slopes and snow  that will satisfy both beginners and
international skiers. The first phase of  the project involves an
investment of $135 million. This means construction of  250 hotel
rooms, including separate villas, installation of ski facilities and
setting up of the ropeway gondolas that will bring the tourists to
the ski  village. The concept design of the 50-acre village borrows
from the traditional  Himalayan style architecture and has been done
by Jack Zehren & Associates  from Vail in Colorado. There will be
handicrafts market, called Kullu Haat,  which will offer local
villagers and craftsmen employment opportunities. A  theatre complex
will host Indian and international music concerts and

build a hospital area  in the area.

>   While the state government has promised to address the issue  of
infrastructure, like the ramshackle Kullu airport, which can only
take 25  seater aircraft, Ford doesn't not want to foist a five star,
glitzy ambience on  the area. "The people who visit should get a feel
of the Himalayas as they  are," he says.
>       According to HSV`s financial officer Glen Trotman, the
investment commitment of $135 million could grow into $500 million in
the later  phases. "We want to see what the market is like before
going into other  phases", he points out. Ford is aiming at tourists
from India as well as the  high spending segment from Europe, the Us
and Australia, to keep the cash reister  ticking. Indeed, Ford and
his childhood friend, John Sims, who is managing  director,
repeatedly stress on their commitment to India, which has already
found expression in an industrial project as well as a Vedic
planetarium in  West Bengal. A prominent Indian that HSV has on its
board of directors is  banker Nasser Munjee.
>       The HP government on the face of it, appears fired by the
project. To begin with, there will be royalty and lease payments to
the state  government and the village communities. The state will
also benefit from the 10  percent luxury tax that the project will
garner from its clients. It will also  get additional revenue from
the sale of power. On its own, HSV will provide  direct employment to
1000 persons and indirect employment to another 3000  persons. Asked
for a ballpark figure, trotman told Business India that  the
financial windfall accruing to HP could be anything up to 2 percent
of the  total cost of the project. In any case the luxury tax and the
royalty paid to  the state will be more than double the current
annual tourism revenues  (stagnant at 40 crore). Ford, on his part,
talks of a "ripple effect" the  project will have in the area on the
hospitality and tertiary sectors.
>       There is another attractive proposition that the project has
thrown up. Once it gets going, India will have another major tourism
and winter  sport infrastructure. It may get a chance to bid to the
winter Olympics. And  Himachal Pradesh, always short on investment,
will be showcased worldwide as an  up market, safe and eco-friendly
destination.
>       Ford, a director of the Ford Motor Company and an active
investor in the equities market, property development and software
ventures, is  aware of the risks involved in the project,
particularly after the recent  earthquake that cut such a destructive
swathe across the Himalayas. But, as he  puts it, "nothing ventured,
nothing gained".

Hi,

As i had mentioned in the aftermath of parechu dam
bursting, that the revival of old Hindustan-Tibet road
should be on cards to counter the happenings on NH-22/
new Hindustan Tibet road.
The Union of India has asked for the revival of the
old road. It is a welcome development. This road
development would lead to spurt in improvement of
living standards in the remote corners which were
earlier bypassed and also act as a standby road in
case of NH-22 is closed. I would further suggest that
the govt revive the road from Sarahan Bushair( 18 km
from Jeori which lies on NH22 ) onwards. Since
historically that has always been the gateway to
Kinnaur and Tibet. Moreover, they should align this
road for the development of tourist infrastucture.
This would be a fabolous addition to the already
famous toursim spot like Sangla valley and Kalpa. Let
the local people enjoy the fruits of this road
development atleat. I hope the govt keeps that in mind
while redeveloping this road.

Attached is the report.
Regards,
Tenzin

Centre nod to partial revival of Hindustan-Tibet Road
Tribune News Service

Shimla, October 2
The Centre has agreed in principle to the proposal to
partly revive the abandoned old Hindustan-Tibet road
as an alternative road to the existing National
Highway (NH-22), the only link to the tribal Kinnaur
and Spiti areas, which has of late become highly
vulnerable to damage from floods.

A Central team, which visited the area in the wake of
Parechu Lake disaster, has given its nod to the
proposal under which a 75-km road will be constructed
from Tapri to Kiran Khad. It will be a single-lane
road at a much higher alignment than the national
highway, which runs dangerously close to the Sutlej.
Funds for the Rs 50-crore project will be provided by
the Centre under the border areas development scheme.

Starting from Tapri, the proposed road will pass
through Karcham, Peo, Pangi, Thopan ,Rarang and Kirang
Khad on the right bank before rejoining it. While
about 40 km road will be mostly aligned along the
abandoned old Hindustan-Tibet road, the rest will be
realigned to bypass very high portions. It will not
cross over the river and thus no big bridges will be
required.

The existing national highway criss-crosses the river
six times between Wangtu and Khab. Its vulnerability
was exposed during the August 2000 floods when 18
small, big bridges on the river and vast stretches of
road, about 20 km in length, were washed away.
Consequently, large parts of the tribal belt remained
cut off for almost a year. The calamity repeated early
this year when floods, caused due to the breaching of
the Parechu Lake in Tibet, washed away as many as
eight important bridges and wiped out large portions
of road.

The road will also help provide connectivity to
villages which are mostly located at higher elevations
at a safe distance from the river. There is very
little population along the banks of the river.

Another alternative road will be built to bypass the
treacherous hill terrain at Malling Nullah, which has
been constantly on slide for the past about eight
years. The road remains blocked for months together.
The 11-km road will pass through Leo on the right bank
of Spiti and rejoin the existing highway at Chango.
