1 INTRODUCTION
Global tourism is now generally documented as one of the largest industries in the world and one
of the most significant sources of employment and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Tourism
particularly benefits the economies of developing countries, where most of the sector’s tourism
jobs and businesses are being created. Tourism is a most desirable human activity; which is capable
of changing the socio-cultural, economic and environmental face of the World.
In the chief Minister’s conference held October 30, 2001 the Prime minister of India, Shri Atal
Bihari Vajpayee had stated: “Tourism is a major engine of economic growth in most parts of the
world. Several countries have transformed their economies using the tourism potential the fullest...
Tourism has great capacity to create large scale employment of diverse kind- from the most
specialized of the unskilled and all of us know that generation of massive productive employment
opportunity is what India needs the most.” According to United nation of world tourism
organization, Tourism is a collection of activities, services and industries which deliver a travel
experience comprising transportation, accommodation, eating and drinking establishments, retail
shops, entertainment businesses and hospitality services provided for individuals or groups
travelling away from home.”
Tourism is a complex field of study because it includes a variety of disciplines which are either
directly or indirectly related to the understanding of tourism. The study of information technology
enhances our understanding of the importance of the global distribution system and its effect on
tourism business. The study of religion and culture provides information on the cultural resources
of a destination and opportunities to develop it as a cultural destination. Tourism is so vast, so
complex, and so multifaceted that there is a wide range of subjects related to tourism.
On 4 march 1993, the international organization responsible for tourism, the World Tourism
Organization (UN-WTO) gave modern definition of tourism as 'tourism is defined as the activities
of persons traveling to and staying in place outside their usual environment for more than one
consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity
remunerated from within the place visited. The use of this broad concept makes it possible to
identify tourism between countries as well as tourism within a country. Tourism refers to all
activities of visitors, including both tourists (overnight visitors) and 'same day visitors'.

In general way tourism can be defined as the temporary movement of the people to destinations
away from their usual place or normal habitat, the activities entered upon during their stay in those
destination and the facilities developed to provide their requirements / needs. The study of tourism
involves the motivation and experience of the tourists on the one hand, the expectations of and
adjustment made by the local residents of the concerned area, and the role played by the several
interceding agencies of moving, housing, feeding, and entertaining people as they go from a place
of their habitat to another for business and or pleasure. The industry primarily incorporates five
groups of activities, i.e., transportation, accommodation, catering/retail, recreation, and travel
related services.
The main characteristics of tourism are as follows:
A movement of people to different destinations having two key elements.
 One, the journey and
 Two, the stay, both of which come off not within but outside the normal area or place of
domicile and work.
The movement is primarily of a temporary nature and for a relatively short duration making it
different from migration.
It brings about activities dissimilar to those of the host population of the place visited.
The prime purpose of participation in tourism is by and large recreation and certainly not the
purpose of seeking pennant residence or employment remunerated from within the place visited
and finally.
Tourism in an abstract sense is basically a pleasure activity implying a use of readily disposable
incomes and of free time and one's own free will.
1.1. SIGNIFICANCE OF TOURISM
Tourism is a multi-disciplinary segment and it is interlinked with a few distinct commercial
enterprise and administration parts. It is a movement, which influence social orders in various
ways and impacts affects their socio-economic and social advancement.

1.2TOURISM
In its modern form since the end of the second world war, tourism grown into one of the world’s
largest industry with growth rate in exceed of 5 % per annum over the past twenty years.
International tourism flows across frontier in the year 2000 reached 698 million while receipts
from these flows reach US $ 595 billion. Estimates prepared by the world tourism organization
indicates that global domestic tourism flows are at least ten times greater than international tourism
flows indicating that there were at least 6,980 million domestic arrivals in 2000. Globally, tourism
accounts for 11% of the global GDP and 8% of the world trade employment. Much of the growth
of global tourism has been generated by domestic tourism which tends to be more focused on rural
destinations. With growing interest in the intangible culture of different countries, there is a strong
potential to encourage international tourism to the rural area as well. India share of global
international tourism at 2.64 million foreign arrivals through its borders in the year 2000 is
relatively small in volume but almost twice as high in terms of US$ receipts (about 0.69%).
Tourism is also sustaining 25 million equivalent full-time jobs or 6 % of India’s workforce and
contribute more than US$ 3 billion in gross foreign exchange receipts.
1.3FACTOR TO BE CONSIDER FOR EFFECTIVE TOURISM PLANNING AND
DEVELOPMENT

 Availability and quality of tourism relevant data.
 Availability of tourism planning expertise
 The type and variety of tourism resources

administrative industry. This industry offers heritage, culture, medicine, business and game tours.

is already a variable that adds an increase in the remote traveller entry. In any case, the
development of global spending in the country can be relived from 6.2% in 2013 to 2.9%. India
produced 110 billion rupees from remote sources.

Tourism Board. According to Tourism Society in Britain, “Tourism is the temporary short-term
movement of people to destination outside the place where they normally live and work and their
activities during the stay at their destinations, includes movement for all purposes, as well as day
visit or excursions”. In general way tourism can be defined as the temporary movement of the

sector, which included the tax exemption on foreign exchange earnings from tourism (50%
reduction on rupee earning and a 100% reduction on earning in dollars), drastic reduction of tariff
on imports of capital goods and concessional finance at the rate of 1 to 5% per annum. The Tourism
Development Finance Corporation was set up in 1987 with a corpus fund of Rs.100Crores. Until

such that none of these are in the same town, village or city. At the same time, they are not
separated by a long distance. It should have well defined entry and exit points. A tourist who enters
at the entry point should get motivated to visit all the places identified on the circuit. The objective

Destination is a place of tourist interest. For being eligible under this scheme the destination must
be among the most visited sites in the State, or a recognized Heritage monument. A group of tourist
attractions located in the same village, town or city would also qualify.
1.9IDENTIFICATION OF TOURIST DESTINATIONS AND INTEGRATED
CIRCUITS
The destinations &circuits will be selected on the basis of its tourism potential in consultation with
the State Governments. The Destinations/ Circuits to be taken up for development will be
identified by the Ministry of Tourism at the beginning of each year. A tourist circuit could be
limited to a State or it could be a regional circuit covering more than a State/UT. The identification
of the project, the implementing agency, and the mode of channelization of funds would be done
in consultation with the State Govt./UT Administration.

4 SIGNIFICANCE OF SELECTING TOURISM PLACES
In Kevadiya, the mighty Narmada flows between the Satpura and Vindhayachal, slyly giving way
to a smooth four-lane highway that leads to two remarkable structures: the Statue of Unity and the
Sardar Sarovar Dam. Twice, it seems, the country has looked at Kevadia and both times in scale,
the result has been quite remarkable. Driving up the highway, one can certainly rejoice in the fact
that the Statue of Unity is far removed from the bustle of the cities.
“Kevadiya is a shining example of eco-friendly development. On one side there is the dam and
power generation equipment and on the other, there are beautiful eco-tourism sites around SoU”.
After all, the charm of concrete skylines would fade rather quickly. Erecting the statue in a
nondescript town not only puts it on the tourist map but also creates a playground of opportunities,
one that the state government has been efficient to act upon.
In Kevadiya there were new tourist facilities like eco-tourism site, nursery, butterfly garden and
others will generate employment opportunities for the locals who would get big market for their
vegetables, fruits and milk. However shrouded in controversy it may be, our first glance at the
Statue of Unity was enough to make us gasp quite audibly. There was nothing quite like it. The
sheer size of it seemed unfathomable, my whole self as tall as Sardar Patel’s tiniest toe.
The government is adding several additional attractions, such as the recently-started 5-km river
rafting ride, to woo tourists. Other recently added attractions include the Butterfly Park, Jungle
Safari Park and Children Nutrition Park. The Tourism Corporation of Gujarat provides tents for
stay in the area. "In coming days, when the tourism-related projects here get completed,
employment opportunities will increase. Our tribal friends who produce vegetables, fruits, flowers,
and milk will get a very big market here itself.
`Namami Devi Narmade Mahotsav', held to mark the Sardar Sarovar Dam in the vicinity reaching
its full reservoir level of 138.68 metres for the first time, spent nearly four hours visiting various
attractions built around the Statue. Standing on the river island of Sadhu Bet, the Statue of Unity
is built to last a hundred years, braving earthquakes and other natural disasters. Made up of
different metals, the iron in the statue was crowdsourced under the Loha campaign, collecting
scraps from every state in the country. The outer façade in bronze, will slowly turn to a dull teal,
similar to the Statue of Liberty in New York.

Kevadia is well-connected to Vadodara, Ahmedabad and Surat. Vadodara is a two-hour drive from
Kevadia, with Air India and Indigo offering flights from most major cities in India. No private
vehicles are allowed after a point, but buses at half-hour intervals are available at every attraction.
Tickets for the statue and other attractions can be booked at soutickets.in
The Statue of Unity was opened to the public on October 31, 2018 to mark the birth anniversary
of the country's first home minister. Since then, it has attracted on average 8,500 tourists per day,
Modi told the gathering.
Kevadiya and Gujarat are on the world tourism map because of the Statue of Unity. The Statue of
Liberty (in the United States) attracts on average 10,000 tourists every day. But you need to keep
in mind that it is 133 years old. On the other hand, Statue of Unity is just 11 months old. Despite
that, it is attracting over 8,500 tourists every day. For instance, the viewing gallery is located where
the statue’s heart would be. That the statue stands at a height of 182 metres, also the number of
constituencies in Gujarat. The 92 metres tall Statue of Liberty, which stands on Liberty Island on
New York Harbour, was inaugurated on October 28, 1886.
That it faces the Sardar Sarovar Dam, Patel’s lifelong dream. Or that, the sculptor, Padma Bhushan
Ram V Sutar, has incorporated deliberate imperfections into the statue to reflect Sardar’s
personality, like the stitches on his sandals, all different in size. From the viewing gallery, we could
not only look at the view outside, but also another window that allowed us take a peak at the inside
of the structure.
At night there were light and sound show and was taken aback by how spectacular it truly was. Lit
up in a plethora of colours and effects, a gripping narrative wove the life of Sardar Vallabh bhai
Patel, his contribution to the newly independent India, and finally, the conception and construction
of the statue. If nothing, the noise from the audience was enough to speak of its success.
Since it opened in October 2018, the Statue of Unity has pulled crowds like no other. Officials
estimate that the statue witnesses a footfall of 7,000 visitors a day, going up to 20,000 during the
holiday season. If managing the number of visitors was a challenge, another was to hold them in
Kevadia long enough to invest in it. The birth of the Statue of Unity circuit has been handled with
an iron will.

5.1.2 STATUE OF UNITY
The Statue of Unity is the world’s tallest statue with a height of 182 metres.
A huge exhibition hall covering an area of 4,647 square metres has been set up in the pedestal of
the Statue of Unity. The hall showcases the life of Sardar Patel, his contributions to the Freedom
Movement against British rule and his role in the merger of princely states. The Shoolpaneshwar
Wildlife Sanctuary, the life and culture of the tribal people of Gujarat and the Sardar Sarovar Dam
are also displayed through an Audio-Visual show.
A nation-wide campaign was initiated to collect soil from farmers towards this tribute to the
extraordinary leader of India, who was born in a farmer’s family and had led several successful
campaigns for farmers’ rights during India’s freedom struggle. Soil from around 169,058 villages
was collected to build a wall (Wall of Unity, measuring 36 feet x 12 feet) which symbolises unity
in diversity.
A Light and Sound show using laser technology projected on the Statue of Unity takes place every
evening except Monday. The colourful laser lighting system is accompanied by an excellent
narration of the history and life of Sardar Patel, his contribution to the Independence Movement
and the unification of India as one nation.
The Valley of Flowers is spread across 600 acres with a length of 6 kilometre from Vindhyachal
and 11 kilometre on Satpuda side. The Valley of Flower began with 48,000 plants in 2016 and has
now reached upto 2,400,000 plants. There are five unique creations at the valley in the form of
thematic parks-gardens namely: Garden of Senses & Panchatatva Garden, Green Energy &
Upcycling Park, Sardar Park, Butterfly Garden and Adventure Park.
Besides the parks, several photo booths and selfie points have been developed to take back
memories of the visit. Two beautifully located lotus ponds enhance the visitor experience.
If you are planning to visit Chandigarh, then Cactus garden is a place you must visit. It is Asia's
biggest botanical garden spread over 7 acres. This land is devoted to rare and endangered species.

  • 8. TOURISM PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT (3724807) 2019-20 DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM CIRCUIT: A CASE OF KABIRVAD-SHOOLPANESHWAR WILDLIFE SANCTUARY| 1 1 INTRODUCTION Global tourism is now generally documented as one of the largest industries in the world and one of the most significant sources of employment and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Tourism particularly benefits the economies of developing countries, where most of the sector’s tourism jobs and businesses are being created. Tourism is a most desirable human activity; which is capable of changing the socio-cultural, economic and environmental face of the World. In the chief Minister’s conference held October 30, 2001 the Prime minister of India, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee had stated: “Tourism is a major engine of economic growth in most parts of the world. Several countries have transformed their economies using the tourism potential the fullest... Tourism has great capacity to create large scale employment of diverse kind- from the most specialized of the unskilled and all of us know that generation of massive productive employment opportunity is what India needs the most.” According to United nation of world tourism organization, Tourism is a collection of activities, services and industries which deliver a travel experience comprising transportation, accommodation, eating and drinking establishments, retail shops, entertainment businesses and hospitality services provided for individuals or groups travelling away from home.” Tourism is a complex field of study because it includes a variety of disciplines which are either directly or indirectly related to the understanding of tourism. The study of information technology enhances our understanding of the importance of the global distribution system and its effect on tourism business. The study of religion and culture provides information on the cultural resources of a destination and opportunities to develop it as a cultural destination. Tourism is so vast, so complex, and so multifaceted that there is a wide range of subjects related to tourism. On 4 march 1993, the international organization responsible for tourism, the World Tourism Organization (UN-WTO) gave modern definition of tourism as 'tourism is defined as the activities of persons traveling to and staying in place outside their usual environment for more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited. The use of this broad concept makes it possible to identify tourism between countries as well as tourism within a country. Tourism refers to all activities of visitors, including both tourists (overnight visitors) and 'same day visitors'.
  • 9. TOURISM PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT (3724807) 2019-20 DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM CIRCUIT: A CASE OF KABIRVAD-SHOOLPANESHWAR WILDLIFE SANCTUARY| 2 In general way tourism can be defined as the temporary movement of the people to destinations away from their usual place or normal habitat, the activities entered upon during their stay in those destination and the facilities developed to provide their requirements / needs. The study of tourism involves the motivation and experience of the tourists on the one hand, the expectations of and adjustment made by the local residents of the concerned area, and the role played by the several interceding agencies of moving, housing, feeding, and entertaining people as they go from a place of their habitat to another for business and or pleasure. The industry primarily incorporates five groups of activities, i.e., transportation, accommodation, catering/retail, recreation, and travel related services. The main characteristics of tourism are as follows: A movement of people to different destinations having two key elements.  One, the journey and  Two, the stay, both of which come off not within but outside the normal area or place of domicile and work. The movement is primarily of a temporary nature and for a relatively short duration making it different from migration. It brings about activities dissimilar to those of the host population of the place visited. The prime purpose of participation in tourism is by and large recreation and certainly not the purpose of seeking pennant residence or employment remunerated from within the place visited and finally. Tourism in an abstract sense is basically a pleasure activity implying a use of readily disposable incomes and of free time and one's own free will. 1.1. SIGNIFICANCE OF TOURISM Tourism is a multi-disciplinary segment and it is interlinked with a few distinct commercial enterprise and administration parts. It is a movement, which influence social orders in various ways and impacts affects their socio-economic and social advancement. The different field that tourism can contribute to state as follows:  Local development  Employment
  • 10. TOURISM PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT (3724807) 2019-20 DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM CIRCUIT: A CASE OF KABIRVAD-SHOOLPANESHWAR WILDLIFE SANCTUARY| 3  Travel trade  Entertainment events  Culture and other hospitality services  Environment safety  Infrastructure  Transportation  Health  Education 1.2TOURISM In its modern form since the end of the second world war, tourism grown into one of the world’s largest industry with growth rate in exceed of 5 % per annum over the past twenty years. International tourism flows across frontier in the year 2000 reached 698 million while receipts from these flows reach US $ 595 billion. Estimates prepared by the world tourism organization indicates that global domestic tourism flows are at least ten times greater than international tourism flows indicating that there were at least 6,980 million domestic arrivals in 2000. Globally, tourism accounts for 11% of the global GDP and 8% of the world trade employment. Much of the growth of global tourism has been generated by domestic tourism which tends to be more focused on rural destinations. With growing interest in the intangible culture of different countries, there is a strong potential to encourage international tourism to the rural area as well. India share of global international tourism at 2.64 million foreign arrivals through its borders in the year 2000 is relatively small in volume but almost twice as high in terms of US$ receipts (about 0.69%). Tourism is also sustaining 25 million equivalent full-time jobs or 6 % of India’s workforce and contribute more than US$ 3 billion in gross foreign exchange receipts. 1.3FACTOR TO BE CONSIDER FOR EFFECTIVE TOURISM PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT There are number of factors needs to be considered for effective tourism planning.  Availability and quality of tourism relevant data.  Availability of tourism planning expertise  The type and variety of tourism resources
  • 11. TOURISM PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT (3724807) 2019-20 DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM CIRCUIT: A CASE OF KABIRVAD-SHOOLPANESHWAR WILDLIFE SANCTUARY| 4  The culture of the destination residents  Geographic location and spatial distribution of the tourism development units  Target market stage in the tourism area life cycle  National tourism policy and legislation 1.4TOURISM IN INDIA India has simple benefits of its rich social legacy. Travel and tourism in India is an essential of Indian convention and society.

Individuals like set out to take part in substantial scale blowouts, fairs and celebration in various parts of the nation. In such a foundation, social convention was produced where’ Atithi Devo Bhava’ and ‘Vasudheva kutumbakam’ got to be dictums of Indian social conduct. Indian tourism industry is characterized by North Indian tourism, East Indian tourism, and West Indian tourism and South Indian tourism. India can provide a clear comparison with the country left behind. Inbound tourism is blasting; the country is pushing forward, forcing more sailors from the world. Indian tourism industry around the world is still concerned by the custom; the state is open fashion travel packages, reasonable air travel arrangement. Tourism is India’s largest administrative industry. This industry offers heritage, culture, medicine, business and game tours. The contribution of the tourism sectored to the Gross domestic product (GDP) of the country for every 7.8 yean increase per year during 2013-2023. The visit to the destination of the cabin office is already a variable that adds an increase in the remote traveller entry. In any case, the development of global spending in the country can be relived from 6.2% in 2013 to 2.9%. India produced 110 billion rupees from remote sources. 1.5TOURISM IN GUJARAT Gujarat is situated on the western shore of India between 20-6’ N to 24-42’ N North scope and 68- 10’E to 74-28’E East longitude.

TOURISM PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT (3724807) 2019-20 DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM CIRCUIT: A CASE OF KABIRVAD-SHOOLPANESHWAR WILDLIFE SANCTUARY| 13 4 SIGNIFICANCE OF SELECTING TOURISM PLACES In Kevadiya, the mighty Narmada flows between the Satpura and Vindhayachal, slyly giving way to a smooth four-lane highway that leads to two remarkable structures: the Statue of Unity and the Sardar Sarovar Dam. Twice, it seems, the country has looked at Kevadia and both times in scale, the result has been quite remarkable. Driving up the highway, one can certainly rejoice in the fact that the Statue of Unity is far removed from the bustle of the cities. “Kevadiya is a shining example of eco-friendly development. On one side there is the dam and power generation equipment and on the other, there are beautiful eco-tourism sites around SoU”. After all, the charm of concrete skylines would fade rather quickly. Erecting the statue in a nondescript town not only puts it on the tourist map but also creates a playground of opportunities, one that the state government has been efficient to act upon. In Kevadiya there were new tourist facilities like eco-tourism site, nursery, butterfly garden and others will generate employment opportunities for the locals who would get big market for their vegetables, fruits and milk. However shrouded in controversy it may be, our first glance at the Statue of Unity was enough to make us gasp quite audibly. There was nothing quite like it. The sheer size of it seemed unfathomable, my whole self as tall as Sardar Patel’s tiniest toe. The government is adding several additional attractions, such as the recently-started 5-km river rafting ride, to woo tourists. Other recently added attractions include the Butterfly Park, Jungle Safari Park and Children Nutrition Park. The Tourism Corporation of Gujarat provides tents for stay in the area. "In coming days, when the tourism-related projects here get completed, employment opportunities will increase. Our tribal friends who produce vegetables, fruits, flowers, and milk will get a very big market here itself. `Namami Devi Narmade Mahotsav', held to mark the Sardar Sarovar Dam in the vicinity reaching its full reservoir level of 138.68 metres for the first time, spent nearly four hours visiting various attractions built around the Statue. Standing on the river island of Sadhu Bet, the Statue of Unity is built to last a hundred years, braving earthquakes and other natural disasters. Made up of different metals, the iron in the statue was crowdsourced under the Loha campaign, collecting scraps from every state in the country. The outer façade in bronze, will slowly turn to a dull teal, similar to the Statue of Liberty in New York.

Vadodara is a two-hour drive from Kevadia, with Air India and Indigo offering flights from most major cities in India. No private vehicles are allowed after a point, but buses at half-hour intervals are available at every attraction. Tickets for the statue and other attractions can be booked at soutickets.in The Statue of Unity was opened to the public on October 31, 2018 to mark the birth anniversary of the country's first home minister. Since then, it has attracted on average 8,500 tourists per day, Modi told the gathering. Kevadiya and Gujarat are on the world tourism map because of the Statue of Unity. The Statue of Liberty (in the United States) attracts on average 10,000 tourists every day. But you need to keep in mind that it is 133 years old. On the other hand, Statue of Unity is just 11 months old. Despite that, it is attracting over 8,500 tourists every day. For instance, the viewing gallery is located where the statue’s heart would be. That the statue stands at a height of 182 metres, also the number of constituencies in Gujarat. The 92 metres tall Statue of Liberty, which stands on Liberty Island on New York Harbour, was inaugurated on October 28, 1886. That it faces the Sardar Sarovar Dam, Patel’s lifelong dream. Or that, the sculptor, Padma Bhushan Ram V Sutar, has incorporated deliberate imperfections into the statue to reflect Sardar’s personality, like the stitches on his sandals, all different in size. From the viewing gallery, we could not only look at the view outside, but also another window that allowed us take a peak at the inside of the structure. At night there were light and sound show and was taken aback by how spectacular it truly was. Lit up in a plethora of colours and effects, a gripping narrative wove the life of Sardar Vallabh bhai Patel, his contribution to the newly independent India, and finally, the conception and construction of the statue. If nothing, the noise from the audience was enough to speak of its success. Since it opened in October 2018, the Statue of Unity has pulled crowds like no other. Officials estimate that the statue witnesses a footfall of 7,000 visitors a day, going up to 20,000 during the holiday season. If managing the number of visitors was a challenge, another was to hold them in Kevadia long enough to invest in it. The birth of the Statue of Unity circuit has been handled with an iron will.

A huge exhibition hall covering an area of 4,647 square metres has been set up in the pedestal of the Statue of Unity. The hall showcases the life of Sardar Patel, his contributions to the Freedom Movement against British rule and his role in the merger of princely states. The Shoolpaneshwar Wildlife Sanctuary, the life and culture of the tribal people of Gujarat and the Sardar Sarovar Dam are also displayed through an Audio-Visual show. A nation-wide campaign was initiated to collect soil from farmers towards this tribute to the extraordinary leader of India, who was born in a farmer’s family and had led several successful campaigns for farmers’ rights during India’s freedom struggle. Soil from around 169,058 villages was collected to build a wall (Wall of Unity, measuring 36 feet x 12 feet) which symbolises unity in diversity. A Light and Sound show using laser technology projected on the Statue of Unity takes place every evening except Monday. The colourful laser lighting system is accompanied by an excellent narration of the history and life of Sardar Patel, his contribution to the Independence Movement and the unification of India as one nation. The Valley of Flowers is spread across 600 acres with a length of 6 kilometre from Vindhyachal and 11 kilometre on Satpuda side. The Valley of Flower began with 48,000 plants in 2016 and has now reached upto 2,400,000 plants. There are five unique creations at the valley in the form of thematic parks-gardens namely: Garden of Senses & Panchatatva Garden, Green Energy & Upcycling Park, Sardar Park, Butterfly Garden and Adventure Park. Besides the parks, several photo booths and selfie points have been developed to take back memories of the visit. Two beautifully located lotus ponds enhance the visitor experience.
