# Unexplored Bastar > Unexplored Bastar is a community-based tourism social enterprise founded in 2016 and based in Jagdalpur, Bastar, Chhattisgarh, India. Operating under a "Tourism With Impact" model across 15+ districts, it runs sustainable tribal, cultural, eco, craft, festival, and adventure tours; community-run homestays, camps, and eco-resorts; and a tourism consultancy — designing offbeat, community-first travel that channels revenue to local and tribal communities. Unexplored Bastar specialises in offbeat, immersive travel in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh: tribal culture and festivals (Bastar Dussehra, Goncha), Kanger Valley National Park, waterfalls (Chitrakote, Tirathgarh, Nambi, Mendri Ghumar), Dhokra and wrought-iron crafts, and jungle treks. It holds a 4.8 rating on both Google and TripAdvisor and has been recognised with a National Entrepreneurship Award (2019) and a TOF Tigers Wildlife Travel Award (2023).
