Six facilities of the Himachal Pradesh forest department have been given on rent via public-private partnership (PPP) to function as eco-tourism sites, under the revised policy.

The projects include the Ala forest rest house in the resort town of Dalhousie (given to Taragan Developers); the Barog camping site (Naina Devi Trust); the Chewa site near Barog (Pine Hill Eco Camp); Moti Kuna Hill at Sanawar near Kasauli (Vishal Verma); the Shoghi Camping site near Shimla (Tarangan Developers) and the Potter's Hill eco-tourism site in Shimla (Ajit Butail).
