Udaipur’s Purohito Ka Talab gaining popularity as top tourist hotspot
Two parks around Amberi area are still not gaining tourists...
Tourists are increasingly drawn to "Purohito Ka Talab" in comparison to the other locations around the Forest Department's Amberi area and its surroundings. However, there seems to be limited interest from tourists in the Mewar Biological Park and Nagar Van Udyan.
The Forest Department has taken proactive measures to enhance the appeal of the Amberi area, specifically around Chirwa Ka Ghata. They have developed two parks and the notable "Purohiton ka Talab" to attract visitors and promote tourism in the region. This strategic initiative aims to showcase the natural beauty and cultural significance of Amberi, providing tourists with diverse attractions to explore and enjoy.
Situated approximately 12 kilometers from Udaipur city, Purohito ka Talab is embraced by lush green mountains. Often referred to as 'Mini Jaisamand,' the lake offers a picturesque setting for visitors to enjoy.Within the enchanting Nagar Van Udhyan, commonly known as the Valley of Flowers, the Forest Department has introduced exciting activities. These include sky cycling, wall climbing, and a swing reminiscent of Bali's famous Swing. The lush surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for these thrilling experiences.

Despite these efforts, these places are failing to attract tourists. Throughout the year, the number of visitors to these locations, excluding the "Purohito Ka Talab" pond, is not reaching the 50,000 mark. The main reason behind this issue is the inadequate promotion and publicity of these areas. To enhance tourism, it is crucial to implement effective marketing strategies that showcase the unique attractions and cultural significance of these places. Improving promotional efforts can significantly boost the appeal of these destinations and attract a larger number of tourists.
