Nirmal and Adilabad towns are offering the best accommodation for tourists, with restaurants available at Kadam and Jannaram for meals and stays.
The forest department is taking steps to attract visitors to forest areas in the erstwhile Adilabad district. A boating facility introduced at the Kadam project is expected to draw crowds.
Officials at the Kawal Tiger Reserve are focusing on arranging tiger safaris in the core and buffer zones. Wildlife including Indian gaur (bison), leopards, wild bears, spotted deer, wild dogs, and nilgai are among the attractions. During summer, antelopes and gaur often move close to villages in the buffer area in search of drinking water.
Meanwhile, the Central government has sought a survey report for the development of the Para Khapi waterfall in Rajulaguda village, Mankapur gram panchayat, Narnoor mandal. Acting on instructions from Adilabad collector Rajarshi Shah, revenue officials surveyed the waterfall area and facilities available at the site.
Forest officials in Komaram Bheem Asifabad district are also planning to take tourists to identified locations to watch wild animals and develop a few sites as tourist spots. In the past, they organised the Bird Walk Festival twice in Penchikalpet and Bejjur mandals.
Hundreds of visitors are expected at Mavala Urban Park, which has a lake and antelope movement. Recently, a striped hyena was spotted and captured on camera traps in the park.
Gulab Singh, Adilabad FRO, said arrangements are being made for visitors at Mavala Urban Park, which has emerged as a prominent tourist spot after the reserve forest was converted into an urban park.
