A floating restaurant in the middle of the sea, the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high speed rail corridor, and the new Mumbai to Delhi Super Expressway maybe weren\u2019t enough already for attracting tourists like you and us that now there\u2019s a first-of-its-kind fossil park opening in Maharashtra<\/strong>. (Not that we aren\u2019t excited!) <\/em><\/p>\n

This new attraction will be situated in the Gadchiroli district in Maharashtra, which will then make the region an absolutely unique tourist destination. While the news has already been rolled out, the project as of now is still at the initial stage. The Directorate of Archaeology and Museums of Maharashtra is working towards gathering all the required data & information from the concerned departments like the Geological Survey of India (GSI).<\/p>\n

The new fossil park to open in Maharashtra<\/strong> will be located on the NH16, which connects Nizamabad in Telangana and Jagdalpur in Chattisgarh. The attraction is undoubtedly a one-of-its-kind in the region and the country, and will definitely live up to this fact as most of the original objects that will be displayed in the park are real fossils found in the Sironcha Forest Division of Gadchiroli district itself.<\/p>\n
