For long time, mountaineers love Nepal and they come to this country mainly during autumn and spring as the country is well-known for having Mount Everest and world’s other seven highest peaks. Nevertheless, the country is also famous for its rich diversity in terms of both natural and cultural heritage as the topography changes from north to south. The southern part of the country is full of verdant green forests ideal for wildlife safaris and the mid-hills with picturesque valleys, popular for hiking,
To quote Suraj Vaidya, National Program Coordinator of the VNY2020 campaign, “As the country is slowly recovering from the 2015 earthquake by reconstructing the sites and restarting the passes, it seems like the perfect time to kick start a tourism campaign. The campaign is bringing forth various lesser-known destinations and activities for people to visit and do. From developing mountain biking trails in the deepest gorge in the world in Kaligandaki to developing a pilgrimage circuit involving major religious sites like Devghat, Pashupatinath, and Muktinath, the campaign is also organizing and facilitating various events and arts festivals to put Nepal on the map of various sectors like sustainability, photography, and sports among others.”
