    Kenapara

    A Fascinating
    Coal Mine Tourism Destination of

    Chhatisgarh
    About Kenapara

    T
    he State of Chhattisgarh needs no introduc-
    tion for its spectacular landscape, enchant-
    ing waterfalls, caves, and heritage temples.
    Nature at its best, Chhattisgarh is equally blessed with
    abundant natural resources, especially coal. Thanks to the
    efforts of South Eastern Coalfields Ltd (SECL) and Chhattis-
    garh Government, an abandoned coal mine of the State is at
    present the centre of attraction as an emerging eco-tourism
    destination and a reliable source of livelihood for the poor,
    mainly the tribal people of Bishrampur Open Cast Mine area.
    Spread over an area of 1472 hectares, the 10 num-
    bers of quarries of Bishrampur mines have contributed more
    than 387 lakh ton coal during 57 years of their
    operation from the year 1961, thereby further enrich-
    ing the legacy of Chhattisgarh as one of the major contribut-
    ing States to the energy security of the Nation.
    The mined-out Quarry No. 6 of Bishrampur was
    selected for developing it into an eco-tourism destination due
    to its unique geo-physical conditions and the easy connectiv-
    ity to National Highway-43. Abandoned for more than three
    decades, Quarry No.6 led to the formation of a fascinating
    water body, covering an area of over 10.57 hectares with 1.75
    km long stretch and an average depth of around 39 feet.
    service by two motor boats, floating raft, farmer cottage,
    Promoting Tourism and sitting room and store room are the other amenities made

    Providing Livelihood
    available.
