Gandhinagar, May 23

Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel inaugurated the country's longest and Gujarat's first-ever 'Dharoi Adventure Fest' at the iconic Dharoi Dam, situated on the border of Mehsana and Sabarkantha districts.

He inaugurated the Adventure Zone and also experienced the thrill of a speedboat ride.

Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, along with Tourism Minister Mulubhai Bera and other dignitaries, visited the adventure activity site, witnessed various rides including paramotoring, and inaugurated and visited the tent city.

Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Dharoi Dam area is being transformed into a world-class, sustainable tourism and pilgrimage destination. The development of the Dharoi region will take place in three phases, enhancing tourism through spiritual, adventure, eco, and recreational activities. This initiative will not only boost visitor engagement but also generate local employment and promote the 'Vocal for Local' mission.

Under the leadership of CM Patel, Dharoi is poised to be developed as an 'Iconic Place,' on par with other major tourist destinations across Gujarat.

In addition, under the leadership of the Chief Minister, the state government is actively engaged in future planning to develop a tourism circuit by enhancing key tourist destinations and pilgrimage sites in North Gujarat, including Polo Forest, Taranga, Vadnagar, and Ambaji.

Speaking to the media about the Adventure Fest, Tourism Secretary Dr. Rajender Kumar shared that the Dharoi Adventure Fest will span approximately 45 days, featuring a wide range of land-based, water-based and air-based adventure activities for tourists to experience and enjoy.

To accommodate visitors, a tent city has been constructed at Dharoi. It includes a total of 21 various types of tents and an air-conditioned dormitory facility with more than 100 beds. These facilities have been made available.

This is fantastic news for Gujarat tourism! � The Dharoi Dam area has so much potential and adventure tourism will attract youth from across India. Hope they maintain proper safety standards for all activities though. Speedboats and paramotoring need strict regulations.

As someone from Mehsana, I'm so proud to see our region getting this development! The tent city concept is brilliant - will help local artisans and food vendors too. Just hope the prices remain affordable for middle-class families to enjoy.

While I appreciate the tourism push, I hope they don't neglect environmental concerns. Dharoi Dam is an important water source and adventure activities must be regulated to prevent pollution. Sustainable tourism means balancing development with nature conservation.

Gujarat is truly becoming the tourism hub of India! From Statue of Unity to Rann Utsav and now this adventure fest - our state has something for everyone. Planning a family trip next month, excited to try the water activities! 🌊

Good initiative but implementation matters. Hope they don't make it like other projects that start with big hype but maintenance suffers later. The 45-day fest should become permanent if successful. Also need better transport connectivity from Ahmedabad.

The 'Vocal for Local' angle is what impresses me most. If this creates jobs for local youth and promotes Gujarati handicrafts/food, it's a win-win. Maybe they can add cultural performances in evenings to showcase our folk dances like Garba and Dandiya!
