Rohtas. The Durgavati reservoir located in the border area of ​​Rohtas is now being developed as adventure and eco-tourism destination. The survey work has been completed here three days after the Chief Minister’s Pragati Yatra. The objective of this project is to create an attractive site for tourists, where exciting sports as well as natural beauty can be enjoyed. Its development will not only promote tourism, but will also create new employment opportunities for the local people.

Adventure will start
Under this project, there are plans to start many exciting and environment-friendly activities in the reservoir area. Jeep riding facility will give exciting experience to tourists, while special cycling and electric scooter tracks will be made so that tourists can enjoy the natural environment and travel around the reservoir. Small islands located inside the reservoir will also be developed, where cafeteria and resting places will be built for tourists. With this, tourists will be able to rest by sitting on the lap of nature and will be able to taste local dishes.

Adventure tourism will get more boost
Under the project, construction of Burma Bridge is proposed to connect these islands, which will be a special attraction for adventure lovers. In addition, the reservoir has also considered the possibilities of water sports activities such as boating, kayaking and aqua paraseling, which will give further boost to adventure tourism.

Eco-tourism is very likely to develop
Ashok Sharma, director of the Phantom Wave Company, who is leading the survey work, said that the possibility of developing adventure and eco-tourism in the area has been searched. He said that with the introduction of these activities, not only tourists will be attracted, but new doors of employment will be opened for local youth.

Attractive selfie point will be developed
According to forest department officials, this survey work started on the instructions of DFO Manish Kumar, which has now been completed. During the survey, it was also found that attractive selfie points could be developed at a high location of the reservoir, from where tourists would be able to clearly see the panoramic view of the Durgavati reservoir, the panoramic view of the sunset and the scene of the historic Shiva temple located nearby. This place will also become a center of special attraction for photography enthusiasts.

New identity will be found on tourism map
The successful implementation of the project will not only give this area a new identity on the tourism map, but it will also strengthen the local economy. The increasing number of tourists in the region will increase hotels, transport, sale of local products and increase food services, which will improve the livelihood of many families.

Plan will be environmentally friendly
Ranger Abhay Kumar said that this scheme will be completely environmentally friendly and its purpose is to promote tourism by preserving local culture and natural resources. With the development of the reservoir region, Rohtas can become a major tourist center not only in Bihar, but for tourists across the country.

The officials and local residents associated with this project hop that in the coming time, Durgavati reservoir will not only be the center of adventure and eco-tourism, but it will also prove to be the basis of economic progress and social development of the region.
