Being aware of strategic location of the site and its feasibility to act as catchment for the tourist population, Mr Prem Vasishta wants to develop a resort in his plot. He has the idea of designing the resort with 10 family cottages offering spectacular views of the lake and the countryside around the Himalayas. He aims that his project will offer luxury cottages to stay and relax amongst nature.
Objective
