Pink City Lures Tourists With Two New Ecotourism Spots

Two new ecotourism sites, Kishan Bagh sand dunes park and Dravyavati riverfront, will soon be developed in Jaipur to add attraction to the Pink City in the eyes of local and international visitors.

The first one, Kishan Bagh, is ready to open in October this year. Located at the foot of Nahargarh Fort, one of the major draws of Jaipur, the project covers 64 ha of sand dunes, water bodies and green gardens connected by footpaths. The construction on the project started two years ago and is now in its finall stage.

The second project is focused on Dravyavati river which by 2015 deteriorated considerably due to pollution and constant wastewater discharge. Three years ago the state government initiated a 10-year long rejuvenation project for the river which would cost 19 million Rupees and besides construction of dams and fall structures include riverfront neighbourhoods complete with all the recreational facilities. 

Jaipur, the largest city in the Indian state of Rajastan, is aptly nicknamed the Pink City for the characteristic colour of the paint used for its buildings to imitate the colour of sandstone. Together with Delhi and Agra, Jaipur is one of the three cities of the tourist Golden Triangle of India.
