Rajasthan to host Wagah-Attari border-like show in new tour complex at Longewala border in Jaisalmer

An already famed and thriving tour destination in Rajasthan, Jaisalmer is all set to add yet another gem to its crown. Department of Tourism, Government of Rajasthan along with the support of the Border Security Forces is developing the Tanot Bawlianwala Border along the India-Pakan border in order to boost border tourism.

This new tourism circuit will allow tours a peek into the unique culture of the people living along the border as well as witness the hard work put in the Indian security personnel. The tourism circuit pays an ode to the courage shown the Indian army forces during the 1971 war at the Longewala border.

Called the Tanot Mata Tour Complex, it will have Tanot Mata temple, Kishangarh Fort, Longewala war memorial, and scenic villages amid the vast desert terrain as its major attractions. The temple, which is visited over 3,000 devotees every day, is now being developed into a temple complex with facilities like an amphitheatre, children’s Activity Area, and cafeteria, along with other public conveniences. This will make up for the erstwhile limited facilities that were available to the tours in the area.
The Bawliyanwala border, which tours could only visit after seeking permission from Drict Adminration, will now be more easily accessible as tours will be able to witness the retreat ceremony at the border. Other tour activities will include a BSF documentary, weapon display, and photo gallery at Ops Base in Tanot.
