Gujarat to Build 135 km Eco-Trail Near Statue of Unity
Gujarat is creating a long path, about 135 kilometers, for people who enjoy nature and exercise.
This path will be built along the Narmada River, starting near a temple and going to the Statue of Unity.
It is meant for both people who love to run and those who enjoy walking.
The path will include rest areas.
Local people will be trained to be guides to share information about the area's plants, animals, and traditions.
The goal is to bring in more tourists and help the local economy.
Gujarat is developing a 135-km eco-tourism trail along the Narmada River.
The trail will run from Hafeshwar Mahadev Temple to the Statue of Unity.
It is designed for athletes and casual walkers seeking a natural escape.
The project aims to boost eco-tourism in the region.
Local youth will be trained as trail guides to enhance the visitor experience.
