Action Plan
In order to reduce tourist pressure from RNP the area
from Palighat to Rameswar ghat of National Gharial
sanctuary is proposed to be opened for the tourists. The
tourists will have the view of aquatic animals, birds
and the scenic beauty of the river bank while moving by
motor boat from Palighat to Rameswar ghat.
The tourists will reach Palighat from Sawaimadhopur and
from Rameswar Ghat to Sawai Madhopur either by tourist
van or by personnal vehicle. Presently the tourists will
have to depend on hotels at Sawai Madhopur for lodging
etc. But in near future the local people will be
motivated for developing nature camps in the area. After
the lodging arrangements are developed at Palighat,
Baharawanda, Khandar and Baler, the local people will be
substantially benefltted by the tourists. In near future
on the opening of Bothal and Gilai Sagar gates of
National Park there is tremendous possibility and scope
for eco-tourism promotion and enhancement.
This will lead to awareness among local people for
better protection of the RNP and National Gharial
Sanctuary which will help solving the problems of
illicit grazing, damage to crop and other such
complaints. |
