The department plans to work with local communities to initiate conducting of treks for School and College students and other visitors to this historical religious place.

During the visit the Pr. Chief Conservator of Forests (HoFF) reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir being a favourite destination for explorers has huge scope for trekking. 

He said the Forest Department in pursuance to Government directions is developing 75 trekking routes both in Jammu and in Kashmir of which many are already in operation like Badrikali to Galganzara, Bhadrakali to Sanzipora, Rajpur-Pathri-Trimukhan-Kairvan Diver in North Kashmir and Mansar to Mahoregarh, DKG to Ratanpeer and DKG to Noori Chamb in Jammu region. 

Dr Gera said, Trekking in Jammu and Kashmir provides a closer sneak peek into the culture of mountain dwellers as one enjoys the rugged mountains, lush green meadows, diverse forests and breathtaking scenic views dotted with wetlands. Trekking activities also involve birding, hiking, nature interpretation and wildlife photography. 

He said it is expected that this initiative of the Government will create significant employment opportunities especially for local youth besides leading to well-being of forests, wildlife and overall biodiversity of Jammu and Kashmir.

Meanwhile, the department has released a booklet on trek routes giving details of all the 75 trek routes across Jammu and Kashmir.
