Bhopal, Dec 14 (NationPress) Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will officially open the Sarsi Island Resort on Saturday, a project that has been constructed by the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Department in the Shahdol district.
This resort is uniquely positioned in the heart of the Son River, completely encircled by water and accessible solely through boat services from Itma Ghat and Markandeya Ghat.
The Sarsi Island Resort boasts 10 eco-friendly huts designed to provide guests with an unforgettable experience, merging comfort and sustainability seamlessly,” stated a senior official from the tourism department.
Located near notable tourist attractions, the resort is in close proximity to the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve (BTR), which is crucial for its rich biodiversity, known for a healthy tiger population and a variety of herbivores.
The reserve is distinguished by its diverse landscapes, including hills, rivers, marshes, and meadows, fostering a wide array of vegetation.
Apart from tigers, the area is home to 34 species of mammals and nearly 260 species of birds, along with 70 species of butterflies, making it a significant draw for guests at the island resort.
Set against the scenic backdrop of the Bansagar Dam in Shahdol district, the Sarsi Island Resort is equipped with modern amenities to cater to tourists from all walks of life.
Facilities include a gym, a library, a children’s play area, and a conference room suitable for business meetings and events.
Officials noted that the development of the Sarsi resort aims to attract tourists while enhancing regional tourism, thereby supporting the local economy.
Later today, Chief Minister Yadav will travel to Mauganj district to inaugurate a newly constructed 200-bed hospital and lay the groundwork for additional projects in the region.
It is worth mentioning that Mauganj, previously part of Rewa district, was established as a separate district last year.
The Madhya Pradesh government has committed to providing all necessary facilities to this new district to facilitate its growth.
