Abstract
The burgeoning tourism industry in rural regions often brings with it significant challenges in waste management, posing a threat to the natural environment and local communities. This chapter delves into the critical issue of sustainable waste disposal in rural touristic areas, with a particular focus on the Spiti Valley in Himachal Pradesh, India. Renowned for its pristine landscapes and cultural heritage, Spiti Valley faces increasing pressure from tourism-related waste, necessitating innovative and sustainable waste management practices. This study aims to explore the existing waste disposal mechanisms in Spiti Valley, identify the key challenges, and propose sustainable solutions that can be effectively implemented in similar rural touristic regions. This research will provide a comprehensive understanding of the current waste management practices and their impacts.
