SCREENING THEATER:
All visitors to the Park will be required to watch a short (8-10 minute) orientation video in this air-conditioned Screening Theater. Our citizens need orientation not only about what they may see in the Park, but also about how to be responsible nature tourists. Financing of this Screening Theater offers a unique opportunity for corporate recognition.
>>  Estimated Cost = 12 lac
 
EXHIBIT ROOM:
After purchasing their entry ticket, visitors will proceed to the Exhibit Room on their way to the Screening Theater. The Exhibits shown there can vary over time, but will in all cases help to educate and inform tourists. As visitors browse the Exhibit Room, they will see the Partner logo on the wall of the Room.
>>  Estimated cost = 9 lac
 
OUTDOOR PAVILION:
This natural outdoor amphi-theater will provide an idyllic spot for nature education programs, pre-hike orientation by Eco-Guides, or tour group orientation. As visitors enjoy nature here, they will be well aware of the generous contribution by the Partner.
>>  Estimated cost = 7 lac
 
     
 
SCENIC WALKWAY:
This 514 sq ft walkway leads from the Visitor Center to the nearby hill. Virtually all visitors will want to walk along this raised platform and then stroll on the hillside.
>>  Estimated cost = 10 lac
 
INFORMATION KIOSK:
All visitors are required to purchase entry ticket to the Park, and they will do so from this Information Kiosque. From this same location, visitors can see annotated trail guides, hire local Eco-Guides, obtain visitor information, or purchase a variety of local community products.
>>  Estimated cost = 7 lac
