The Gaighat waterfall at the convergence of Galkot and Tarakhola in Baglung is becoming a hub for tourists. There has been a significant increase in the arrival of domestic tourists since last July.
Sagar Gharti, a local, said, “Due to rapid publicity of the waterfall and infrastructure development, tourists have started coming. The rural municipality should build more infrastructure around the waterfall for attracting tourists.”
Gharti added, “The waterfall was deserted until four years ago but now at least 2 tourists come every day. About 22,000 more tourists come annually but this year it has decreased due to rain.”
Akash paudel, who came to visit from Bhuwachidi in Gulmi shared, “I saw the photo of Gaighat waterfall on social media and my friends came to visit, they took beautiful photos which motivated me to visit.”
Yama Bahadur Sris, President of Tarakhola Rural Municipality-1 said, “To attract visitors, a swimming pool, a garden and a rest area have been built around the waterfall.”
The flood in Tarakhola last July swept away the bridge leading to the waterfall and now tourists are facing problems but now we have arranged for them to cross by leaping but it’s risky. The village council spent almost 20 lakh for the construction of the bridge. There is a plan to build a bridge this year by requesting some budget from the provincial government” said Chairman Sris._Rss
