Other Indian states such as Kerala, Goa, and Karnataka have already taken steps to promote caravan tourism. Caravan tourism is aimed to attract more domestic and foreign tourists.

The Chief Minister further said that sites with traditional Kathkuni style architecture will be linked to other tourist circuits, and Kangra’s art gallery. Himachal’s historic forts will also be developed as tourist attractions., along with various mountain biking tracks.

The state government will also spend INR 50 crore under the Nai Rahen Nai Manzilen scheme, wherein water sports in Larji and Tattapani, paragliding in Bir Billing and Chanshal, and Shiv Dham in Mandi shall be included.
