Another interesting thing to note is to discover how “nature” has become so “precious”.   A visit to the stall of Pragathi Resorts, you will realise that.  Pragathi Resorts offers Nature Walk.  It is a home to 750 species of Herbal and Sacred Plants.  You can spend a morning in the lap of the Nature, admire a beautiful sunrise as you walk around the lake, listen to the birds and discover some of the most scenic photo spots of the Resort. You can savour herbal tea, pick organic produce from its garden. You can taste fresh milk at its Goshala.  To do all this, you need to chip in Rs 500/- for two hours.     That’s not all. Sagai to Bidai, you can even get married in the lap of the nature and green cover, says the company.

If we abuse mother nature, we need to even pay in future for the air we inhale.  We have abundant natural resources for everybody’s need, but, nobody’s greed. Natural resources must be preserved.
