Dhari-Van Riverfront
Planting Strategy along Alaknanda RIver
This project aims to revitalize the Alaknanda riverfront near the sacred Dhari Devi Temple, enhancing both ecological health and scenic beauty.
Undertaken under the CSR initiative of PNB MetLife in collaboration with SankalpTaru Foundation, the project addresses challenges like landslides by implementing strategic native planting and restoring historic water channels to naturally filter runoff before it joins the river. Designed to benefit both ecology and community, the site features nature trails and interactive spaces that engage tourists and local residents, creating a meaningful, immersive riverfront experience rooted in sustainability and cultural connection.

The site’s natural features—formed by erosion and sediment deposition—offer immense potential for biodiversity enhancement and recreational engagement.
Sand patterns and erosion lines inspire land art and installations. Bioswales and native planting fortify the riverfront against erosion while creating an immersive, biodiverse environment.
A grid-based plantation system divides the site into clear rows for foresters, with detailed planting schemes designed for each section to ensure effective ecological restoration

The plantation rows—labelled G4, G, SO4, SO3, etc.—are irrigated using river-sourced water via motors and a drip system, ensuring sustainable growth of native flora.
