No special grants from centre for offbeat tourism locations: J&K Govt

By: Waris Fayaz

Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir Tourism Department on Monday said that the Government of India has not introduced any specific scheme or budget allocation exclusively for the development of offbeat tourist destinations.

In response to a query by MLA Nazir Ahmad Khan, the department, per news agency — Kashmir News Observer (KNO), stated that it is not aware of any exclusive central scheme aimed at promoting or funding offbeat destinations.

It also said that Gurez Valley was conferred the “Best Off-beat Destination in India (Gold)” award in 2022 for its pristine beauty, unique landscape and sustainable tourism practices.

It added that Gurez has already been identified as a potential offbeat destination by the J&K Tourism Department. A dedicated project for its upgradation and development is underway under the Capex Budget for the current financial year 2025–26.

“The Directorate of Tourism, Kashmir, is executing the project and necessary formalities are being completed in coordination with the District Administration, Bandipora”, it said. —(KNO)

  2. Hey, nach einem langen Arbeitstag wollte ich einfach abschalten und bin zufällig auf https://vegashero.at/ gestoßen. Anfangs lief’s gar nicht gut, aber dann beim Slot kam der große Treffer – das war echt ein unglaubliches Gefühl! Für Spieler aus Österreich gibt’s dort sogar spezielle Bonusangebote, die richtig motivieren. Jetzt spiele ich regelmäßig dort, um den Tag entspannt ausklingen zu lassen.

  3. Leyendo la noticia sobre los lugares turísticos menos conocidos en Jammu y Cachemira, pensé en cómo España también tiene rincones únicos que merecen más atención. En mi caso, cuando no puedo viajar, me gusta relajarme en casa jugando en https://spino-gambino.com.es , donde hay promociones exclusivas para jugadores de España. Es una forma sencilla de escapar de la rutina y sentir un poco de emoción sin salir de mi salón. Así encuentro mi propio “destino alternativo” sin moverme del sofá.
