The hotels and lodges here are full of domestic tourists who have arrived to visit various tourist destinations in Myagdi and Mustang districts. The tourist arrival has surged immediately after the Dashain festival.
"The hotels and lodges here are full of tourists. Visitors in such big numbers have arrived after two years," said Baburam Acharya, President of Hotel and Restaurant Entrepreneurs Association Myagdi. As he said, the hotels and lodges in Beni, Galeshwor, Pokharebagar, Bhurung-Tatopani, Dana, Ghorepani, and Singa are filled with domestic tourists.
The Association's Mygadi chapter said that the 50 hotels in Beni can accommodate 1,000 tourists. The hoteliers have said they had to send some guests to Baglung and Kusma for lack of rooms in Beni.
A large number of visitors from Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan, Biratnagar, Rupandehi, among other places, arrived here the day after October 15, the day of the Bada Dashain festival. They are on their way to Mustang via Myagdi.
Chief of the District Traffic Police Office, Indra Bahadur Nepal, said the number of tourists traveling to and from Mustang in motorcycles and private cars has suddenly surged. According to him, more than 500 vehicles have been traveling on the Beni-Jomsom road daily for the last two days. Before this, 100 to 150 vehicles used to ply on this road daily.
The surge in tourists has elated the hotel and restaurant operators here in the district. They hope their business will pick up after suffering a blow for about two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
