History
Historically, Shivpuri was a relatively quiet area until its potential for adventure tourism was recognized. The opening of the region for white water rafting in the late 20th century transformed it into a bustling hub for adventure enthusiasts. Before this, the area was largely dependent on agriculture and small-scale trading. The development of tourism infrastructure, including rafting camps and guesthouses, has significantly boosted the local economy. While there aren't specific historical monuments or events directly associated with Shivpuri, its proximity to Rishikesh, a place of immense religious and historical significance, adds to its cultural context. The influx of tourists has also brought about changes in the local lifestyle, blending traditional customs with modern influences.
