The expansion of tourism in Uttarakhand's Raja Ji National Park is crucial for the local inhabitants, as it brings both environmental concerns and economic opportunities. Primary data has been collected from the outskirts of Raja Ji National Park. Using empirical data gathered from 364 respondents, including locals, tourism service providers, and park officials, this study explores the many benefits and drawbacks of tourism in the area. The analysis shows a complex picture in which the financial advantages of tourism—like the growth of infrastructure and jobs—are balanced against the negative effects on the environment, sociocultural upheavals, and bureaucratic obstacles.
