Araku Valley ‘Jungle Bells' gets makeover with German tents

Visakhapatnam: In an attempt to attract tourists for the upcoming tourism season, the state tourism department is implementing 'Jungle Bells', an eco-tourism project at Tyda on the way to Araku Valley, with new attractions — German tents in place of wooden cottages. These wooden cottages were constructed 24 years ago in Tyda village, a hamlet on the Visakhapatnam-Araku road, 75 km from the port city in the combined Andhra Pradesh, to allow visitors to stay within the dense and green nature of the Eastern Ghats region. The first eco-tourism project in the state featured beautiful wood log cottages of different types, which gave tourists a new experience all these years. However, most of them were damaged in recent years, and the authorities are now replacing them with new technology. The German tents, often referred to as German hangar tents, are large, temporary structures typically used for events, exhibitions, and other purposes. These tents are characterised by their sturdy, often aluminium, frames and durable, waterproof fabric covers, which are also UV resistant. They can be customised in size and shape, making them adaptable to various event and accommodation needs. According to tourism department sources, the material used in German tents is designed to withstand diverse weather conditions, including rain, wind, and sun, ensuring reliable shelter. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The state govt arranged wooden cottages 24 years ago, attracting thousands of tourists over the years, as visitors enjoyed the feeling of staying in tree huts, also known as hanging cottages, in the forest.

The govt allocated Rs 7.5 crore for the new attraction and the construction of tents at a fast pace. Sources said there are 23 wooden cottages in Tyda. The authorities will keep four old cottages and two new cottages along with the 17 tents on the 17 wooden cottages. So far, authorities constructed 14 tents at Rs 13 lakh each.
