Abstract

Tourism is one of the most important forces shaping our world. It’s the basic nature of human beings to travel and explore different areas as part of their leisure time. Nature tourism is that which conserves the ecosystem and it directly impact the welfare of local people. In nature tourism there are so many gains as we know the species which are confined to that area whether its flora or fauna will be protected as part of this tourism. As keeping in mind about the importance of nature tourism, we had studied Kaigal and Gidugu which are located in V. Kota mandal of Chittoor district giving a glimpse of its beautiful waterfalls. This study is based on field observation. The study had about observing and personally interviewing100 randomly visited tourists to Kaigal and Gidugu (50 tourists in Kaigal and 50 tourists in Gidugu). In our observation we found there is much to improve the roads and infrastructure in these nature tourist places.
