| November 29, 2009 | Tamil Nadu eco-tourism department organizes trekking expedition | | Chennai: The Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation (TTDC) has organised a trekking expedition to bust stress and promote physical fitness here. According to Ravi, the manager
of TTDC, the trekking programme is an opportunity for the general public, corporates, school and college students to reduce stress and experience the beauty of nature.
The trekking tour will cost a person about rupees 2,000. "We found out that people
have to exercise as the level of stress in their lives due to work load. Therefore,
TTDC wanted to initiate this programme and we found out this place, which is perfect
for trekking. So, instead of going elsewhere and exercising, we walk along with
other. People will also enjoy trekking along with nature," he said. He added that
expedition programmes like these should be organized frequently, which will encourage
preservation of nature and physical fitness among the youths. The trekking enthusiasts
feel themselves closer to nature and take it as a wonderful opportunity to explore
the beauty of the state. "This trek was absolutely thrilling and super cool. All
of us should try to do this at least once a week. It is very healthy for us and
keeps us fit and fine," said Shivani, a trekking enthusiast. Similar trekking
tours are being organized to Amirthi forests, Yelagiri and Kolli hills to promote
tourism in the state. | |
