Guwahati,
March 22: In order to woo more tourists, the Assam Government
is planning to create a tourist circuit comprising Kaziranga
National Park and Manas Tiger Reserve at a cost of Rs 50 crore.
The Centre has agreed to the proposal for
the creation of the tourist circuit, officials said here.
At present tourists find it difficult to include the Kaziranga
forest and the Manas Tiger Reserve in their itinerary as the
distance between the two is an energy-sapping 350 km. They
can, at best, visit only one spot at a time.
Now, officials said, with the creation of the tourist circuit,
tourists would be provided with food and lodging along the
way as well as easy transportation facilities. Another spot
being groomed for tourists is the picturesque hill station
of Haflong in the North Cachar Hills district.
