Tholkappia Poonga in R. A. Puram has increased the set of number of people who can go on regular walks inside the eco-park. It has also revised the admission fee.
The revision comes into affect from February 1.
This move comes after people complained that the slots for walking regularly inside the eco-park were fully booked for weeks on end, which did not give others the opportunity to take walks in the Poonga, located off D. G. S. Dinakaran Road.
REVISED ADMISSION: From Feb.1, 300 people will be allowed for each of the morning and evening slots for walking. Bookings must be made online ( tickets will be sold at gate only if slots are free)
WALK TIMINGS : 6.30 a.m. to 8 a,m. and 4.30 p.m. to 6 p.m.
REVISED FEES: Rs.20 for single visit. Rs.250 for a month. Rs.750 for three months. Rs.1250 for six months.
OTHER TOURS: For students ( educational); 9.30am to 12.30 pm ( open six days a week). Guided tours for public – 2.30 to 4.30 pm ( closed on Thurs., public holidays)
