The community forests of Trivenidham in Nawalpur, Daunnedevi Temple, Falam Khani in Dhauvadi, Devchuli Danda, Shashwat Dham, Maulakalika Temple, Devghatdham, Chitwan National Park are being prepared to make a package with tourism.
The area of river-centered tourism will be expanded by creating an environment where tourists can enjoy the culture and traditional food of the Gurung, Magar and Tharu communities in the mountainous areas here. Out of about 800 hotels in the district, only 200 hotels are operating on Narayani shore. There are about 3,000 rooms in small hotels in the district.
Various big events are held in the district, and riverside hotels are among their choices. The tourists who used to concentrate in Sauraha in Chitwan are now expanding to the hotels along the Narayani River. The tourists who come here visit the holy pilgrimage place Devghatdham, the historically important Maulakalika temple and other places.
There is a plan to make a systematic tourist destination by including the religious places, natural heritage and tourist spots in the district. In case the tourists who come to us run out of money while staying here, they have started the discussion that they will arrange to send them home by hiring a vehicle. If this can be done, Nawalpur will become a new tourist place in Nepal. There are three types of climate in Nawalpur, cold climate at a distance of five kilometers to the north from the highway, a separate climate from the highway area and wetlands to the south of the highway.
“The arrival of guests at the hotel has started to increase now. With the holidays of Dashain, Tihar, and Chhath, the arrival of domestic and foreign tourists has increased in the hotels here. Tourists tend to focus on riverside hotels for the panoramic view from the Narayani river bank.” Said Vasant Parajuli, the owner of 'The Narayani Resort'
“As tourists come for jungle safari, jeep safari, boat safari, etc., hotels on the banks of Narayani River are their choice. Tourist activities such as jeep safari, trekking, and boat safari in Narayani are held in community forests along Narayani river, including Amaltari and Pithua. Rare animals such as one-horned rhinoceros, peacocks, bears, and deer can easily be seen in forest safaris, so the arrival of tourists is good now,” said Santosh Rana Magar, President of Hoteliers' Association Nawalpur.
Dinesh Kumar Chuke, the senior central vice president of the Hoteliers Association, said that “The Narayani riverside is becoming more attractive from a tourist point of view, and the number of tourists coming here has increased. The Narayani river bank is being developed to give a glimpse of the beaches of Goa and Mumbai in India", said Dinesh Kumar Chuke, the senior central vice president of the Hoteliers
"Tourists staying at riverside hotels in Gandakot can wake up in the morning and easily visit the Maulakalika temple and go to Devghatdham. Most of the tourists who come here come for holidays and sightseeing, if various activities can be conducted to extend their stay, economic activities will increase,” said Chuke._Rss
