Tehri Lake: The New Hub for Water and Adventure Sports in India

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami attended the Tehri Lake Festival Himalayan-O2 2026, promoting the vision to transform it into a sports hub. Addressing attendees, he emphasized the goal to establish Tehri as a prime destination for water and adventure sports, attracting both national and international athletes. Sports such as kayaking, canoeing, jet skiing, and scuba diving are being actively promoted.

He stated, "We will continue our efforts to accelerate and expand these possibilities. We have initiated this journey and will work diligently to advance it further." The development of Tehri Lake is part of the Pratam Gram of Timan village project, with an investment of Rs 1.3 billion already made for the lake's enhancement and the Ring Road construction.

Dhami encouraged players to fully dedicate themselves to their sports, assuring government support. He expressed confidence that young players with dedication, enthusiasm, and self-confidence would make India proud on global stages. Blooming as a tourist attraction, Tehri Lake's development under CM Dhami's leadership is providing new opportunities for local youth.
