Chandigarh: Haryana Government is consistently working to promote tourism and ensure the sustainable use of natural resources. As part of these efforts, Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini inaugurated the renovated Nature Camp Thapali in the Morni region of Panchkula district. On this occasion, he also inaugurated the newly renovated Eco-Kutir and reviewed the facilities at the Ayurvedic Panchkarma Centre, taking stock of the available ayush services.

Environment, Forest and Wildlife Minister Rao Narbir Singh and Kalka MLA Smt. Shakti Rani Sharma were also present on the occasion.

The Chief Minister also flagged off the first group of trekkers on the natural trekking trail from Kalka to Kalesar. This trail will attract the youth of Haryana towards adventure tourism and contribute to the state’s emerging identity as a hub for nature and adventure tourism. He stated that adventure tourism resonates with the interests of today’s young generation and would not only expand tourism but also generate new employment opportunities for local youth.

The Chief Minister also promoted environmental conservation by planting saplings at Triphala Vatika in the Morni area. Emphasizing the state’s commitment to preserving and sustainably developing natural resources, he said, we are making continuous efforts to link tourism not only with entertainment but also with nature, culture, and health.

Highlighting the region’s natural charm, the Chief Minister said that Morni’s scenic beauty, biodiversity, and serene environment make it ideal for eco-tourism. The government envisions developing the area as a model of holistic eco-tourism, integrating local community participation and cultural heritage.

He added that while improved infrastructure in these hilly areas would attract more tourists, it would also provide new livelihood opportunities for the local population. By promoting health tourism, yoga, Ayurveda, and adventure-based activities, the state aims to drive sustainable tourism development.
