• Way back in the '70s it was the first state to pioneer highway tourism.
• And, now it has taken the lead in giving concrete shape to the concept of rural tourism which at the level of the Centre is still in the realm of intent.

Haryana Tourism has since come out with a colour brochure with an evocative theme. Opening with a quote from Tagore on his brush with nature it asks,

• 'When was the last time you chased chickens.
• Roamed in the fields with pure wind on your face.
• Found yourself jiggling up and down to the thrills of a bullock cart or a tractor ride?'.

  Farms tourism, it says, seeks to awaken the child in you…to experience the unforgettable whiff of the countryside…plant baby seeds...enjoy the delights of organic food and experience many spontaneous joys of nature that you may have never known before.
