Report by Debadatta Panda; Kalahandi: Although Kalahandi is enriched in tourist spots as well as historical places but due to lack of interest of the Govt. and local people no such development of tourist sector in Kalahandi district. Kalahandi was the thirteenth district of Odisha and now it became the thirtieth in all respect in the state.
There are so many historical places as well as visiting spots in the kalahandi district but due to want of tourist infrastructure no such developments are seen. The tourism dept. is neglecting Kalahandi and so many official is posted for it. As there is no any office building the office is functioning in a revenue quarter at Bhawanipatna since 1997.In the year 1979 when the tourist office started at that time a tourist officer,a statistical assistant,one clerk and two peons with one chowkidar was posted. Later on the statistical assistant, clerk, pein and chowkidar post was lying vacant. In last january the tourist officer was placed under suspenssion and the existing one peon will be retired soon.In this context the tourist office at kalahandi will be lying vacant without any employee.

The natural and cultural scenario as well as the eenvironment of Kalahandi is also very attractive. Century and dance forests, mountains are very attractive. The dance forest of Karlapat, Ghanajungle, Niyamgiri, Chura dangar, Ampani and Jaring jungle are very environment supported as wellas the forests of Thuamul Rampur and Mahulpatna area are very coolest and known as Kalahandia kasmir. The temperature of this locality in summer is very low. The Furlijharan waterfall,Origin of Indravati Mardiguda, Jakkam wooden bunglow, natural beauti of Ampani and chhura dangar, kadlighati and Dokrichanchara are some famous points for tourists.Like that the historical places like Asurgad, Gudahandi, Junagad and Thuamul Rampur are very attractive for the tourists. Temple city Junagad and Goddes Manikeswari at Bhawanipatna and Th-Rampur,Shiv temple at Belkhandi, Saptamatruka temple at the besides of Tel and Uttei river are the visiting spots in kalahandi.
After all there are somany temple related to human culture like Dokri at Talgud,Sapgaranda and other temples are in kalahandi which can attract to the tourists but as there is no any infrastructure for the tourists no such tourists are comming to this district. Govt. should take steps for the tourism and the people of this locality can get self employment.
The tourist office which was foundation stonned on 05.09.1992 by the than tourism minister is not yet complited due to lack of interested shown by the Govt.A tourist complex is also un-complited at Th-Rampur and non to look after it so it is going to be demolished.Govt.should take appropriate step for the evelopment of tourism i Kalahandi soon.

I don't think there are any good tourist place over there that anybody would like to visit. Before you advanced its the belief of people over there. Apart from that waterfall and some river there is nothing.
