Bhat said efforts were also on to keep online booking options available for the people who yearn to explore the Bangus Valley.

“For the comfort of the tourists, we are planning to come up with bio-toilets. As of now, tourists can avail the washrooms facility near the mosque there. We are hopeful that within a month bio-toilets will be established in Bangus,” he said.
