Agra, June 18 -- With the aim of promoting eco-tourism in the religious cities of Mathura and Vrindavan, the Yogi Adityanath-led state government has planned to develop a 17-kilometre Nature Walk Pathway along the Yamuna, from Vrindavan to Gokul, under the Mathura Vision 2030. The Braj Teerth Vikas Parishad, in collaboration with the Forest and Wildlife Department, will execute the project. The proposed two-metre-wide pathway will feature indigenous plant species to preserve local biodiversity and enhance the area's natural beauty. According to a government spokesperson, the Nature Walk Pathway is a flagship project of Mathura Vision 2030, and will be developed at an estimated cost of Rs.50 crore. It aims to promote eco-tourism, support environmental conservation, and provide pilgrims and tourists with a peaceful, accessible walking route along the sacred river. In a recent review meeting with the Chief Minister, officials shared that the pathway would highlight the scenic stretch between Vrindavan and Gokul. The route will include fencing, lighting, and toilet facilities to ensure comfort and safety for tourists and residents alike. This initiative is part of a larger development push comprising 195 projects worth Rs.30,080 crore under Mathura Vision 2030, of which 23 projects totalling Rs.2,300 crore have already been approved. Once completed, the nature walk will offer a serene and green experience of Lord Krishna's land on foot, while also serving as a health-friendly space for morning and evening walks for locals....
