Tourism in Chhattisgarh
Eco-tourism
With 12% share of India’s forests, Chhattisgarh’s 3 National Parks
and 11 Wildlife Sanctuaries and National Parks are a major attraction. It has
several virgin attractions in protected areas such as Kanger Valley National
Park, Barnawapara, Sitanadi, Udanti and Achanakmar Sanctuaries. The endangered
Wild Buffalo (Bubalis bubalis) and the even more endangered Hill Myna (Graculis
religiosa peninsularis) are the State Animal and State Bird respectively.
The State has taken several steps for their preservation. Natural attractions
are being promoted with increased local participation and encouragement to herbal
gardens and natural health resorts.
The mystique of aboriginal tribal ethno-medicine which predates even Ayurveda
has been preserved and practised over the millenia. Mainpat (Surguja), Keshkal
valley (Kanker), Chaiturgarh (Bilaspur), Bagicha (Jashpur), Kutumbsar caves,
Kailash caves, Tirathgarh falls, Chitrakot falls (Bastar) are all exhilarating
destinations being promoted for nature and wildlife tourism. Wildlife areas,
camping grounds and trekking facilities would be few of the prime attractions.
