A new place to explore : Telangana aiming to become a destination offering multiple attractions
Ecotourism, tribal circuits, waterfalls and cruise services, heritage and pilgrimage – there are various destinations offering all these in Telangana, and that too in abundance! After medical tourism, the Telangana government is now implementing a multi-pronged strategy for tourism development in the State, covering diverse aspects and locations.
Right from pilgrimage to urban forest parks, waterfalls to heritage tourism, all sectors would be developed focusing on providing good amenities to tourists for comfortable stay.In the last couple of years, about 35 hotels offering 1,200 rooms, eight wayside amenities, two restaurants, 42 buses, 89 boats, and light and sound shows were introduced at different locations in Telangana by the state tourism department.
The road-cum-river cruise tours, covering Hyderabad-Somasila-Srisailam-Hyderabad and Hyderabad-Nagarjunasagar-Srisailam-Hyderabad, are already attracting good response from tourists. These trips are operated on weekends, offering a good two-day tourism package. Tourists are also taken to the Srisailam Dam site and Farahabad on the way.
