Just imagine, how life will be if you can make your work desk from your bed within a few minutes. While working you can have a beautiful view of hills, being stress-free you can have your business call and enjoy a vacation too. Is it sound interesting to you? So, Uttarakhand Tourism brought for you “Workstation Packages”.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many working people have gone for ‘work from home’. Things have taken a turn and work from home has become the boring too for some people. Many working professionals are irritated with the monotonous schedule of working from your home. Now, they are choosing the concept introduced by the Uttarakhand Tourism- working from the mountains. WORK + VACATION (Workcation) has become a catchphrase ever since professionals and digital wanderers started moving to the mountains in search of a change of space, peace, and environment.

Uttarakhand state is encouraging the growing trend of working from the mountains. One can plan a socially-distanced workcation in the state Uttarakhand and do your office tasks from a series of homestays in the midst of haughty hills, lush greenery, cool weather, mesmerizing landscapes and fresh air. You can also taste organically grown seasonal vegetables and fruits in the form of local cuisines and hence improve your work efficiency.

Numerous homestays, hotels and resorts in Uttarakhand are offering affordable workcation package. The best part of this “Workcation” is that you could customize your stay as per your choice and needs. Apart from working, you can also enjoy various activities such as trekking, biking, stargazing, camping, and many more.

Dilip Jawalkar, Secretary, Uttarakhand Tourism says, “With people working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, this concept has become a much-needed escape and great opportunity to take your work on a holiday break”. He believes that Uttarakhand's tourism department is offering “workcation” packages at a number of scenic hotels, resorts and homestays located in destinations such as Kausani, Jim Corbett, Mussoorie, Nainital, Lansdowne, Dehradun, Almora, among others. ‘All the workcation spots in Uttarakhand are situated at heavenly locations with a panoramic view of mountains all around, providing an unlimited therapy for the body, mind and soul.’

What makes workcation at these places exclusive are the vital facilities being offered, such as high-speed internet connectivity, comfortable stay, power backup, healthy and fresh food, medical & first aid facilities, room service, and many more by following all the important safety guidelines, norms and specific COVID protocols. Moreover, now without any restrictions, all the inter-state tourists can impeccably visit Uttarakhand. They just need to register themselves on the smart city portal.

Apart from offering eye-catching workcation locations, the Uttarakhand Tourism board will soon be rolling out the well thought out ‘Tourist Incentive Coupon’ plan, wherein tourists visiting the state for a minimum of 3 days will be offered with a discount of up to Rs 3,000 on booking their stay in hotels or in homestays.
