After the construction of the road in the Lukum area, the place has gained popularity where thousands of tourists visit the village
The village of Lukum is located at the base of the hill. This village’s distinctive features include its dense population, unique language, and traditions. The tall Dhupi trees on the side have enhanced the village’s beauty. The village of Lukum abounded until ten years ago. Following a wave of development, the village of Madhyaopahari began to draw tourists once it was connected by a public road.
Once the village was connected by the road, the remote place became accessible, and the beauty and tradition of the village became an important destination for visitors. Besides making the village a tourist destination, the road has also provided convenience to the local residents.
Today, hundreds of domestic tourists arrive in Lukum village located in rural municipality-1 of East Rukum. After the public road was blacklisted three years ago, Lukum village has become the choice of many.
The road has brought about a big change in the life of the villagers. The old village has become an attractive destination for today's youth, and people who come to visit the village buy locally produced goods, which has helped the income of the villagers.
There has been a decrease in the number of people leaving the village. When villages were not connected by public roads, only old people used to live in the villages and now they have returned to the villages to go to the market and do business.
The main occupation of the villagers is animal husbandry and agriculture, and people from outside look at and learn about their work with great interest. More tourists can be brought in if the village can be organized and cleaned more.
A lot of cars pass on this road every day, most of them stop in front of this village and take pictures, the tourists roam around the village.
“I visited Lukum village four times because it was very pleasant because I like the houses made of chitikk and the original culture and lifestyle of the locals, I often visits Lukum village,” said Milan Budha Magar from Baglung.
"After the road came, it became very easy, before there was only this village, now the market is being built below, the road has also been improved, now people come from many places to visit our old village, visit and take photos, this village is ours. It was like this since the ancestors, most of the old houses are here, this house is now preferred by many people.” Said Punmagar, a local._Rss
