There should be fuel stations, tyre shops and clean washrooms after every 50 kilometres (minimum) and wheelchair accessible entrance. As other countries always try to give more and more facilities for tourists. And please promote this place more better internationally and on national level. I hope if they can do that.. this place will be largest revenue generated place of...
