Himachal: Road connectivity must to boost Manimahesh tourism, say locals
The Manimahesh shrine, which draws around seven to eight lakh pilgrims in September every year, is awaiting road connectivity for decades.
The influx of pilgrims in Bharmour subdivision triggers traffic congestion, troubling visitors as well as residents of the region.
Local residents say that having a better road connectivity from Bharmour to Gauri Kund will boost tourism for at least five months (June to October) in a year to the Manimahesh Lake in which the Kailash Mount is clearly visible. Besides generating employment opportunities for local youth, it will also save lives as almost every year people lose their lives on the 13-km ascent, say res0idents.
