Yes, a WSJ article really ought to help them keep a low profile.


If you're up in this part of the world you really shouldn't need loud music, tv, making a public scene with barbecues or other disruptive activities. The point of trekking through the Himalaya is exposure to the cultures and amazing environment.


In this village, social capital seems to be more appreciated than money. I hope they won't get corrupted by money. Atleast not until I get to visit the place myself.


Awesome...

I love to see more "tourist destination" like that. Tourism is cancer of the any country want to be develop.


Informative headline, for those not wanting to figure out the wsj paywall:

>Faced with an influx of visitors, India's picturesque village of Jibhi has shut down the local liquor store and tried to restrict loud music, smoking and barbecues


The pictures are worth the click, though.


Isn't this off-topic?


I think it's in our wheelhouse. its about the unforeseen consequences of technology (instagram making a quiet town popular that would prefer to remain quiet).


Gotcha, didn't think of that. Thanks!
