Abstract
Tourism is an activity, which comprises of economy as well as society and nature. Our nation's rural areas are heavily affected by urbansprawl as well as increased urbanization and westernisation. Agritourism is rapidly being embraced as a strategy to conserve thefamily farm, increase revenue, and teach the public about authentic farming life. Since the area does not have any natural tourist spots, recreational activities as an exploration and insight into the rural lifestyle aka desi rehen-sehan have been used as a tool of new emerging concept being called as farm tourism.In this era of globalisation and rapid urbanization, the traditional lifestyle is being left behind only to be dominated by western way of living.
