Bhubaneswar: In order to attract more tourists to Khandagiri & Udaygiri caves, the state government has decided to upgrade the infrastructure of the site in the state capital.
The Tourism department has issued a tender for preparation of an integrated heritage and tourism master plan for development of Khandagiri-Udayagiri into a world-class tourist attraction with ultramodern features, amenities and attractions.
The Khandagiri-Udayagiri area is witnessing footfall of over 3 lakh tourists every year. Due to huge influx, the monument and its surroundings have been heavily damaged in recent years. Besides, the presence of active traffic in between twin hills is a major cause for concern for people. Hence, the department has decided to develop the area, sources said.
