These secluded desert areas near the border areas are filled with tales of numerous war heroics and cultural heritage, which will likely attract tourists. If reports are to go by, the latest initiative will provide more safe and convenient access to the location.
This initiative of Rajasthan Tourism along with central agencies and the Border Security Force (BSF) will not only help visitors get an understanding of the life of people and security forces living in the border areas, but will also open a new door for locals living in these far-off villages.
As per the reports, the government is further looking to build an interpretation centre, amphitheatre, cafeteria, children’s activity area, solar-powered street lighting, surveillance system, signage, and other facilities in Tanot village of Jaisalmer district. The BSF will be entrusted with operating and maintaining the tourist attractions, along with organising exhibitions for tourists.
Longewala is situated on the border area and is widely known for the bravery that the Indian armed forces displayed during the 1971 war with Pakistan. The place serves as a major attraction for tourists and, along with this, the Tanot Mata Temple also attracts tons of visitors almost every day.
As a part of tourism activities, the BSF will also organise a weapon display, screen a documentary film, and organise a photo gallery at the Operations Base in Jaisalmer.
