Over the weekend, the government of Odisha took swift action after receiving information from industrialist Anand Mahindra about a beautiful natural rock formation called Kanhakund on the river Ib in Sundargarh district. Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida, who oversees the Tourism department, expressed her gratitude for Mahindra's timely notification and promised to develop the spot into a global tourist destination.
Located about 130 km from Sambalpur and Rourkela, Kanhakund is a stunning sight to behold with its unique formation and clear blue waters. In a social media post on February 27, Mahindra shared three pictures of the place and expressed his desire to see it become a national and global hotspot. Responding to his offer to help, Parida stated that the government will write to him and seek his visionary ideas to develop Kanhakund.
Excited about the potential of this hidden gem, the DyCM has already ordered for a spot verification and officials will soon be visiting the tourist destination. She also acknowledged the role of nature lovers like Aarayansh, who had previously shared pictures of Kanhakund and questioned why such offbeat places were not on the tourism map of India.
Reiterating the government's commitment to promoting unique destinations like Kanhakund, the official tourism page of Odisha shared their efforts in enhancing infrastructure and creating sustainable tourism experiences. They also expressed their eagerness to showcase such hidden treasures on national and international platforms.
Parida emphasized on the importance of recognizing and preserving such natural wonders, as they hold the potential to attract tourists from all over the world. She thanked Mahindra for bringing Kanhakund to their notice and assured that his suggestions will be taken into consideration while developing the spot. With the support of the government and individuals like Mahindra, Kanhakund is set to become a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a unique and unforgettable experience.
