Social Entrepreneurship in Himalayas: A Case of Ladakhi Women's Travel Company, India
Abstract
This chapter explores the impact of social entrepreneurship in the Himalayan region, focusing specifically on the Ladakhi Women's Travel Company (LWTC), a pioneering organization in Ladakh, India, dedicated to promoting sustainable tourism while empowering local women. The study examines the socio-economic and cultural challenges faced by the women of Ladakh and how LWTC addresses these through its innovative business model. Through qualitative analysis and case study methodology, this chapter highlights the successes and challenges of LWTC, offering insights into the broader implications of social entrepreneurship in remote and marginalized communities. The findings suggest that social enterprises like LWTC can play a crucial role in achieving sustainable development goals, particularly in regions with limited access to mainstream economic opportunities. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on social entrepreneurship by providing a detailed account of how a localized, women-led initiative can drive socio-economic transformation in the Himalayas.
