Known for historic temples, erotic sculptures, tigers and street food, Madhya Pradesh is a sought-after destination in India and now the state tourism board has signed an MoU with online travel agent Thrillophilia to boost adventure tourism there.

Thrillophilia will act as a knowledge partner to MP Tourism Board (MPTB) in building the state as an adventure hotspot. Many new camping sites and adventure activities will be built across the state, and besides this a gamut of activities such as jungle safari, hiking, nature trails, trekking, stargazing in the jungle, camping, canoeing and many other signature experiences will become available via Thrillophilia.

The scope of adventure activities in Madhya Pradesh is vast as the state
has many waterfalls, wildlife and national parks, mountains, dense forests and water bodies which provide outdoor and adventure opportunities for all.

As a knowledge partner to MPTB, Thrillophilia will not only work closely with them to build and boost adventure experiences but also provide training to the local vendors, and build sustainable adventure tourism in the long run, setting up camping sites and organise several adventure events which will open channels for the travellers to visit the state.
