Uttarakhand calls for bloggers to promote tourism  

The Uttarakhand government has called for bloggers from allover the country to have a trip on ‘bloggers bus’ to four Cham Dham destinations. The bus which was flagged off from Rishikesh with eight passengers on Thursday, intends to promote the journey through blogs. The bloggers will also have the chance to cover the three-day Tehri Lake festival which commences on Friday.

The first hop bus was flagged off from Rishikesh on May 16th. Seven bloggers who attended the journey travelled to Ganogtri and Yamunotri shrines on a trip which lasted four days. “There are several scenic locations in Uttarakhand. We need to serve this message to as many people as possible. Tehri lake festival holds immense potential and opportunity for the state,” said Tourism minister Satpal Maharaj.
