Uganda
wildlife Authority (UWA) has introduced a new tourism activity on Mt. Elgon
national Park named the mountain bike-riding. The news was given out by the assistant
warden at the national park, Mr. Stephen Nyadru, while speaking at the activity
launch on Friday. He said that the new activity is aimed at attracting more
tourists to the Park and it will include traversing of rocks, washouts, and
steep declines, on dirt trails, logging roads, and gravel roads that wind along
lazy streams through forested valleys or trails that climb up steep
mountainsides; and other unpaved environments.
It
is the first time that this form of tourism activity has been introduced in the
country and will be most especially exercised by the tourists after climbing. This
is because since most of the tourists remain dull during the descending, this
activity will give them exercise down the hills as a modern form of Uganda’s
tourism. The activity of mountain bike-riding will combine the pleasures of
being in the mountains with the health advantages of altitude and gradients,
significant level of physical exercise and the possibility to cover longer
distances.
