Himachal Pradesh Government to Boost Monsoon Tourism

The government of Himachal Pradesh wants to attract more tourists even when it rains.

Usually, fewer people visit during the monsoon, which hurts businesses.

So, they are creating a special plan to make the rainy season fun for visitors.

They are thinking of developing lakes and rivers into a 'Monsoon Tourism Circuit' for activities like water sports.

To kick things off, they are having a big water festival called the 'Bilaspur Aqua Fest' on Gobind Sagar Lake.

This festival will have races like kayaking and swimming, plus other fun things.

It's also a chance for local people to sell their crafts and food, helping everyone earn more money.
