The evergreen tourist destination in West Bengal which is the favorite for most Kolkatans has already seen a lot happening to promote tourism in the region.

What is This Latest Eco-Tourism Project about?

The location where this new project is to be carried out is a huge 7.5-hectare lake fish farm, which is run by the State Fisheries Development Corporation (SFDC). This lake is already home to a large variety of migratory birds during the months of winter. The lake is one which is surrounded by many casuarinas and coconut trees and therefore creates a really enchanting environment.

According to a senior official of the SFDC, it has been decided as of now to construct 4 cottages at a cost of about Rs 50 Lacs. These would also include roadways and lighting arrangements at the tourist spot. So once the development is complete as tourists you would be able to catch fish at the lake at very reasonable prices. What is even better if you know swimming is that you would also have the opportunity to board the boats of fishermen and also catch fish with their boats. Apart from this, the state government is also having plans for promoting the states handicrafts at the park. Thus popular handicrafts like terracotta dolls, jute handicrafts, shells handicrafts and many more, are items which would be available at the park which you can buy.
