The famous Samaguri lake, popularly known as Samaguri beel, covering an area of 64 hectares is to be converted into a scenic tourist spot. It has been learnt that the Government of Asom has sanctioned an amount of Rs 3 crore for the proposed project. To attract both local and foreign tourists, the Tourism Department has put a proposal to construct an ethnic village representing ethnic groups like Karbi, Dimasa, Missing, Tiwa et al depicting their traditional customs and culture within the ambit of the project. This would also let the tourists get a feel of the indigenous culture of the region as well as taste the ethnic cuisine. It may be mentioned that the Tourism Department also intends to provide a number of paddle boats, a ferry with modern facilities as well as a tower to watching the various species of birds commonly found in the area.
