The Surai Ecotourism Zone will be the first such zone in the state where tourists will be able to enjoy jungle safari.
The Kakra Crocodile Trail is also the first such place where tourists will be able to witness the crocodile species 'Marsh' from close, safely.

Important Points

The plan is being implemented by dividing it into four parts.
These include setting up of:
- Surai Ecotourism Zone
- Kakra Crocodile Trail
- Khatima City Forest
- Chuka Migratory Bird Centre
Both these schemes are in line with the Chief Minister's 'Young Ecopreneur Scheme.'
