Why Is Ekta Nagar Getting an Eco-Trail?

The Statue of Unity, the world’s tallest statue, has made Ekta Nagar a global tourist spot, with over three crore visitors since its inauguration. To handle the growing numbers, the Statue of Unity Area Development and Tourism Governance Authority (SoUADTGA) is building new facilities and attractions, and this eco-trail is part of that effort.
