Eco-Tourism Picks Up Steam At Mount Abu
Tourism has flourished in Mount Abu. From leisure tourism, pilgrim tourism, adventure tourism, and even business and education tourism, everything has received a good response. However, there was a visible absence of eco-tourism. It was this column that first informed readers about the development of eco-tourism sites in Mount Abu by the Mount Abu forest department, piloted by the able and visionary DFO parmar with his dynamic team.
Soon after the news appeared visitors began to trickle in interestingly, the first visitor particularly for this genre of tourism, was from abroad. He came after reading this column. Now the trend is picking up.
Various locations like Sun Rise point at Kapoor Sagar at Achalgarh, Tarzan Huts at Aarna and also Gaumukh Hanumanji sites are attracting visitors in hordes, particularly students from Gujarat and other places. The other day, girls from Bhavnagar were taken by surprise by the Tarzan Hut at Gaumukh Hanumanji site. It was like a contest to enter the hut by all the girls. They were awed by the entire ambiance of the beautiful, serene site. Their guide Dr. Bharat Pandit said, "I have never seen such commitment for the welfare and promotion of eco tourism.” The girls said in unison, “The site has inspired us and we will try to contribute to the cause of environment destruction in our own way. We will plant trees all our life and request others to do so.” That probably was the preeminent distillate of the whole exercise.
