These tree-top meditation huts in Chandigarh will offer a refuge away from busy city life.
Residents of Chandigarh who crave peace and relaxation now only need to keep a lookout for the right tree. Part of the Nature Interpretation Centre that is coming up in the city’s Sarangpur village, these tree-top meditation huts will offer a refuge away from busy city life. According to conservator of forests and chief wildlife warden Ishwar Singh, the huts are part of the Government’s larger aim to promote eco-tourism in Chandigarh. The centre will also promote research and conservation of the city’s flora. The tourism department has sanctioned Rs 2.5 crore for this project. Plans are afoot to have the centre up and running by the end of this financial year.
