Chirwa's Valley of Flowers is now a popular spot for adventure tourism. During the monsoon season, visitors can enjoy activities like Bali swings, sky cycling, zip-lining, and wall climbing amidst the green hills of the Aravalli range. On weekends, tourists from Gujarat, Delhi, Jaipur, Jodhpur, and local areas flock to the park. There are trending selfie points, such as the Nest and the Ring of Fire, which are popular on social media. Around 500 to 600 tourists visit the park each weekend.

Camel rides, similar to those at Pichola and Fateh Sagar, are now available for Rs 50/- per person. Regional Forest Officer Parvendra Singh noted that the introduction of adventure activities has boosted tourist numbers. The park plans to add new selfie points and open a cafeteria soon. For safety, six walkie-talkies have been provided for better monitoring.

The park was inaugurated on June 24, 2024 by Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria and Forest Minister Sanjay Sharma to promote eco and adventure tourism. Ticket prices include Rs 100/- for a one-way cycle ride, Rs 150/- for a two-way ride, Rs 50/-  for wall climbing, Rs 150/- for the Bali swing, and Rs 300/- for zip-lining.

In July and August, the park generated Rs 16.76 lakh in revenue. The number of tourists nearly doubled from July to August, reaching 8,530 visitors. In July, 2,944 tourists visited, bringing in Rs 3.47 lakh. August saw 1,021 tourists on the zip line, 279 trying wall climbing, 283 enjoying the Bali swing, and 243 sky cycling, generating Rs 3.94 lakh. August's total revenue reached Rs 10 lakh, surpassing the previous high of Rs 8 lakh in the park's early days.
