Spread across 12 acres, the Rain Forest recreates a rainforest environment with artificial rainfall throughout the year.
Developed by the Gujarat government at a cost of Rs 14.30 crore, the attraction features 20 rain-gun towers, waterfalls, bubble fountains and trees representing different regions of India. Its main attraction is a circular glass skywalk made up of 132 panels of 35-mm-thick glass, allowing visitors to walk above the forest landscape.
PM Modi visited Vaman Vriksha Vatika, another nature-themed attraction in Ekta Nagar’s tourism circuit.
Earlier, the Prime Minister paid floral tributes to Patel at the Statue of Unity and inaugurated 23 projects while launching eight others.
The 31 tourism and infrastructure projects involve a combined investment of Rs 426.71 crore. Major attractions include a Rs 50-crore IRCTC hotel, a Rs 16-crore Ekta Cruise and a Rs 3.67-crore Eco Trail.
PM Modi will likely attend the National Unity Day programme, featuring the Ekta Parade, cultural performances and a presentation titled ‘Naxal Mukt Bharat’ involving around 2,000 artistes from 126 Left-Wing Extremism-affected districts.
Another performance will celebrate ‘Vande Mataram’ with around 5,000 artistes from across India.
