Lug valley to be tourism hotspot

KULLU, DECEMBER 26

The government had included the Lug valley under the “Nai Rahein, Nai Manzilein” scheme to develop untouched tourism spots in the region, said DC Ashutosh Garg.

Presiding over a meeting regarding the infrastructural facilities to be created under the scheme, he said there were many untouched places in the valley that could be developed as a centre of attraction for the tourists.

He said Mathasaur was a beautiful place where tourists could be attracted and asked the department to prepare a proposal for ropeway for this site from Bhalyani. The DC said brown trouts were found in the valley’s natural springs and streams and there was a need to publicise it. “Efforts will be made to bring the valley on the tourism map by creating basic facilities for the tourists.” — OC
