Abstract In its purest form, sustainable tourism refers to a sector of the travel and tourism business that aims to have no negative influence on the environment and local culture while promoting economic growth, job creation, and ecosystem preservation. Uttarakhand, an Indian state in the Northern Himalayan region, has long been a renowned tourist destination because of its stunningly varied landscapes, high biodiversity, ample opportunities for religious travel, and extensive cultural legacy. Almora is a famous hill station in Kumaun, lesser Himalaya, known as the cultural capital of Kumaun. Sustainable tourism promotes the local culture and creates various livelihood opportunities. The present study is based on a survey of 200 randomly selected households from five major tourist destinations: Almora, Ranikhet, Dwarahat, Sheetlakhet, and Manila. The study shows that many domestic and foreign tourists visit the study area, providing livelihood opportunities to the host community. Tourists are also attracted by the cultural specialties of the region, like Aipan art, traditional attire Pichora, and baskets made of pine needles. This promotes sustainability, creates job opportunities, makes local people economically stable, and uplifts their standard of living. The study results identified the positive perception of the host community towards tourism.
