Ganderbal, Sep 14: Manasbal, a renowned tourist destination in central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district, witnessed a significant influx of visitors over the past 20 months, with more than four lakh people thronging the picturesque location.
According to officials, the surge in tourism began in January 2022 and continued until August 2023, with a diverse group of tourists. Among the 370,577 visitors, 50,677 were domestic tourists, 319,804 were local visitors, and 96 were foreigners.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Wular Manasbal Development Authority (WMDA) Ghulam Mohd Bhat told Rising Kashmir that two substantial projects under the Srinagar Metro Region Development Authority (SMRDA) initiative, with a combined budget of Rs 34 crores, are underway. One of these projects is already in progress, while the other is set to commence soon.
This year, Manasbal has witnessed a remarkable increase in tourist footfall compared to previous years, he said.
A local shopkeeper expressed gratitude to the tourism department for its efforts in promoting the area. The flow of tourists is much better than in the past, and with time, it is increasing, he said.
The members of the tourism sector warmly welcomed the tourists, emphasising the need for further promotion of Manasbal. They noted that the tourists visiting Manasbal appeared to be highly satisfied with their experiences.
According to hoteliers in Manasbal, the guesthouses are fully booked. The current season is thriving, marking a positive turnaround after several years of slow business, they said.
Arun Mehta, a tourist from Delhi, praised the serene Shikara rides at Manasbal, highlighting the absence of pushy vendors during the rides. He mentioned the enchanting sight of a large flock of ducks gathering in the middle of the lake during sunset, creating a beautiful natural scene.
Another female tourist from Punjab shared her appreciation for the beauty of the place, especially the heartwarming Shikara rides along the tranquil side of the Dal Lake. “This left me with lasting memories,” she said.
