NGT Sets Daily Limits for Horses and Tourists at Kufri-Mahasu Peak

NGT Sets Daily Limits for Horses and Tourists at Kufri-Mahasu Peak

Imagine a popular hiking spot in the mountains that was getting too messy because of too many horses and people.

The horses left a lot of droppings, which made the water dirty and the plants unhealthy.

Too many people walking around also damaged the trails.

So, a special environmental court stepped in.

They decided that only 293 horses and 2,232 tourists can visit this specific trail each day.

This is to help keep the mountain trails strong, the water clean, and the plants healthy.

The government has to create new rules within three months to make sure this plan works and to involve the horse owners in the process.
