Manoj Jha, a native of Bihar residing in Colombia, visited Valmiki Tiger Reserve (VTR) with his French wife, Clotilde Sinny Suzy Marie, and their two-year-old daughter, Lila Marie Chandrika Lakshmi. Arriving in Valmikinagar on Tuesday evening, the family explored the natural beauty, serene environment, and ancient temples of VTR. Manoj Jha stated that this was his first visit to Valmikinagar, and he found the place to be even more beautiful than he had heard.

The tourists were delighted by the geographical and natural splendor of VTR. They closely observed the natural beauty, the Gandak River, the mountains, and the ancient temples. The tranquil atmosphere and picturesque surroundings captivated them. On Wednesday, they visited Nar Devi Temple, Jatashankar Temple, and Mahakaleshwar Mahadev Temple. Due to the monsoon season, jungle safaris were closed, which was a disappointment for them. However, they expressed their intention to return to Valmikinagar for a jungle safari if they get another opportunity.

The family found the sight of the Narayani River, Mahakaleshwar Temple, and the Triveni Sangam near the ghat to be extremely thrilling, praising its beauty immensely. This family is on a four-day tour to explore the beautiful valleys of Valmikinagar and will depart on August 15. VTR Forest Division Two is rapidly gaining recognition in eco-tourism, attracting such international visitors.
