This recognition by the Ministry of Tourism highlights Kuthlur’s potential as a top destination for adventure seekers looking for offbeat experiences. With its pristine landscapes and diverse outdoor activities, Kuthlur is now firmly on the radar for adventure enthusiasts across the country.

The annual Best Tourism Village competition, organized by the Ministry of Tourism, aims to promote rural destinations that prioritize sustainable tourism. Now in its second year, the competition brings attention to lesser-known villages, allowing them to gain recognition for their natural beauty and eco-friendly tourism practices. This year, Kuthlur’s strong commitment to environmental conservation, heritage preservation, and community-focused tourism helped it stand out as a deserving winner.

Kuthlur’s breathtaking location at the foothills of the Western Ghats makes it a haven for adventure travelers. The village offers some of the most scenic trekking and hiking trails in the region, making it an ideal escape for those seeking both thrill and tranquility. The village’s stunning views and untouched natural beauty provide a perfect backdrop for outdoor exploration.

The recognition of Kuthlur marks a significant milestone in its journey toward becoming a premier adventure tourism destination. After an earlier attempt in the previous year’s competition, the village’s renewed efforts in 2024 have paid off, bringing national recognition and pride to the local community. Kuthlur’s commitment to sustainable tourism practices has not only boosted its offerings but has also contributed to the broader growth of rural tourism in India.

As the village prepares to be honored at the World Tourism Day event on September 27 in New Delhi, this award marks a new chapter in Kuthlur’s story, promising an exciting future for adventure travelers and rural tourism alike.
