ZIPLINE AND CHIRWA GHATA IN UDAIPUR
Udaipur has so much to
give to its visitors and residents!!! Chirwa ka ghata has constantly been
attracting crowds. Earlier tourists used to get attracted to the twisting road,
then came the tunnel which attracted public even more and now to add to its
attraction is the Zip line in the flower valley. On 3rd August 2018, Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria
inaugurated the “Valley of Flowers†at Chirwa, in Udaipur. The 80 hectares of
the Ghat section is now covered with different flowering plants sanctioned by
the Ministry of Forest and Environment. It is quite evident that Udaipur has
seen a lot of development in tourism in the recent times and zip lining is one
of them. After the formation of the four-lane and Chirwa tunnel on the
Udaipur-Nathdwara highway, the route of the Chirwa ‘Ghata’ was less travelled. The route once gave the best view of the
dense thicket spreading from Amberi to Chirwa.
The locals, as well as tourists,
were deprived of this beautiful view of the forest post construction of the
tunnel. For all those who love that adrenaline rush can enjoy the newly
constructed Zip-line in the same area. This valley has been developed by the
forest department in the form of a flowering valley, which has been the
entrance of Udaipur for years. Here, you can watch birds and animals in their
natural habitats from the respective viewing points, which are created with
flowering plants on either side of the serpentine road. It may be noted that
the zip line is 375 metres long. Teams are ready on each side of the zip line
to take care of the adventure lovers. It has been pointed out that the view of
the valley from the zip line is an absolutely amazing experience and a perfect
scene for photography. Entry fee for adults will be available at 30 rupees for
adults, Rs 10 for students, 100 rupees for foreign nationals, Rs. 50 for video
capturing, Video camera will be charged at Rs. 100, Hill cycle 50 rupees per
