In an attempt to boost tourism in the state, the state government is coming up with the draft of tourism development for the first time by next year. However, the Pune division of Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation has already appointed a private agency to conduct a survey of various potential tourism spots in the district, which would be later added to the list of favourite destinations.

Surveying beauty: Experts conducting the survey have identified caves in Junnar taluka, which have been ignored by tourists and are as beautiful as Ajanta caves in Aurangabad with detailed sculptures. Also, Naneghat (right) in the same Taluka of Junnar has historical importance since it belongs to the period of Satvahan dynasty. File pic
