As directed by the state’s Chief Minister, Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, the Dharamsala Forest Circle has given a 50 per cent discount in entry fee and tenting fee for Triund and other trekking routes.
It is a step that would go a long way in promoting tourism activities in the area besides providing succor to the registered guides, an official statement mentioned.
A Spokesperson of the Forest Department said today that the Forest Department had reduced the entry fee from INR 200 to INR 100 per head per day. The tenting fee had also been reduced from INR 1100 to INR 550 for pitching two persons inclusive of entry fee.
The spokesperson added that no fee would be charged from registered local guides of the recognised Miscellaneous Adventure Activities Operators who were registered with the Tourism Department under H.P. Misc. Adventure Activities Rules, 2021.
At the 1st edition of IWDC, a roadmap was chalked out to enable capacity in an additional 26 waterways, fit for River Cruise tourism from the operational strength of 8 waterways. Building on the capacity of enhanced circuits, the cruise tourism traffic with night stays will simultaneously be moved up from 5,000 to 1.20 lakh by 2047.
