NTR district to develop circuit tourism routes

Vijayawada: The district tourism department of NTR district is working to finalise circuit tourism plans aimed at promoting tourism on a large scale by connecting various tourist destinations across NTR district, along with the neighbouring Guntur, Krishna, and Palnadu districts. The tourism department is preparing one-day, two-day, three-day, and four-day circuit tourism routes that connect multiple tourist destinations to attract visitors. In NTR district, the department identified Gandhi Hill, Kondapalli Fort, Bapu Museum, Bhavani Island, Dr BR Ambedkar Smriti Vanam Park, Durga Temple, and other tourist spots, which will be included in various tourism packages. With regard to Krishna and Guntur districts, the tourism department is considering including Manginapudi and Hamsaladeevi beaches and Mopidevi Sri Subramanyeswara Swamy and Pedakallepalli Shivalayam temples, along with Mangalagiri Panakala Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple and Eco Park in Mangalagiri. "We are working to finalise separate tourist destinations for each package, which will range from one to four days. For a one-day circuit package, the packages are being designed to cover all the major tourist destinations within NTR districts, while packages beyond two days will include destinations from neighbouring districts," NTR district tourism officer A Shilpa told TOI. The circuit tourism packages, which are being prepared under the supervision of NTR district collector Dr G Lakshmisha, were supposed to be launched a month ago. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Providers are furious: Internet access without a subscription!
