Salyan’s ‘Mini-Rara’ Kupinde in a state of neglect

Though a total of Rs50 million has been spent for the lake’s management over the past two decades, efforts towards that have become ineffective.

The Kupinde lake, nicknamed ‘Mini-Rara’, is a popular tourist destination in Salyan district. Many tourists, mainly the domestic ones, visit the lake for boating, sightseeing and other recreational activities. However, such an important tourist destination is neither conserved well nor promoted as expected.
