What's the story

A Tharu tribe-dominated village along the Indo-Nepal border in Bahraich will be developed as a tourist destination under the Uttar Pradesh government's One District, One Eco-Tourism Spot scheme, a forest official said on Thursday.

Under the scheme, eco-tourism centers are being developed in districts and forest divisions to attract tourists, Bahraich Divisional Forest Officer (DFO), Manish Singh, said.

Village

Tourism facilities will be developed without cutting trees

The DFO said that an eco-tourism center is already operational in the Katarniaghat Forest Division but there was no such place in Bahraich and the Tharu tribe-dominated Balaigaon village has been selected for it.

As there are no trees in a particular zone, tourism facilities can be developed without cutting trees. The picturesque forest area is home to rich fauna.

Main goal is to attract Nepalese tourists: DFO

The DFO said thousands of citizens from Nepal come daily to do business and shopping in the market of Baligaon.

"Since the lifestyle of the village is similar to that of Nepalis, our main goal is to attract Nepalese tourists," he said.

Besides boosting government revenue, the tourism spots will also provide employment opportunities to locals, the DFO added.
