Dehradun, 7 Aug: Himachal Pradesh’s PWD Minister Vikramaditya Singh and the state’s Public Works, Tourism, Irrigation, Panchayati Raj, Rural Development, Culture, Water Resources Minister Satpal Maharaj met at Bijapur Guest House here today and discussed the road connecting Himachal to the tourism-important Chainsheel Valley of Uttarakhand. On this occasion, both the leaders also discussed possibility of connecting road between Uttarakhand and Himachal from Chaainsheel Valley and also held a discussion on the Paonta National Highway.
Maharaj observed that Chaainsheel Valley, nestled in the lap of the Himalayas on the border of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, is connected to the border areas of Uttarkashi, Dehradun (Uttarakhand) and Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) districts. To go here, tourists go through Himachal instead of Uttarakhand even though this valley is part of Uttarakhand. Maharaj said that there is immense potential for tourism development in Chaainsheel valley, which is important for adventure tourism. There are beautiful mountains spread far and wide, miles long Bugyals, water streams and a rich treasure of rare herbs in that region.
