 निबन्ध १

नेपालमा पर्यटन को बारेमा निबन्ध 150 शब्दमा

वर्षौंको दौडान पर्यटन फस्टाउन उद्योगको रूपमा विकसित भएको छ। सिंगापुर, क्यारिबियन, जापान, हंगकंग (अहिले चीनको अधीनमा), थाइल्याण्ड र यहाँसम्म कि मलेसिया जस्ता साना देशहरूले पनि पर्यटकहरूको आयको साथ ठूलो प्रगति गरेका छन्।

नेपालमा सरकार र जनतामा पर्यटनबाट हुने आय त्यस्ता देशहरूको तुलनामा आंशिक मात्र हुन्छ। यसका लागि धेरै कारणहरू हुन सक्छन्।

प्रभावकारी र ठोस कदम चालेमा नेपालको पर्यटन एक व्यावहारिक उद्योग बन्न सक्छ। सबै अवरोध र उत्पीडन जुन पर्यटकहरूलाई डराउँदछन् हटाउनु पर्छ। पर्यटन मामिलाको केन्द्रमा रहेका व्यक्तिहरू जस्तै पर्यटन मन्त्रालयका अधिकारीहरू, एम्पोरियम-होटेलियर्सका मालिकहरू आदिलाई शिष्टाचारि हुनुपर्दछ र पर्यटकहरूलाई दिइनु पर्ने आदर्श व्यवहारको ज्ञान पनि हुनुपर्दछ।

नेपाल पर्यटकहरु को लागी असंख्य आकर्षण छ। देशभरि धेरै सुन्दरता र दर्शनीय ठाउँहरू छन्। ठूला शहरहरूमा धेरै राम्रा होटलहरू छन् र त्यहाँ राजमार्गमा टुरिष्ट कम्प्लेक्सहरू छन्। त्यहाँ धेरै स्थानहरू छन् जहाँ पर्यटकहरूले साहसिक खेलहरूको मज्जा लिन सक्छन्। नेपालमा यति धेरै प्राचीन मन्दिरहरू, मस्जिदहरू, किल्लाहरू र अन्य ऐतिहासिक स्थानहरू छन् जुन विभिन्न देशका पर्यटकहरू हेर्न जान चाहन्छन्।

हाम्रो दूतावासहरूले सबै महत्त्वपूर्ण चीजहरू मानिस र सरकारहरूलाई अन्य देशहरूको वस्तुहरू र स्थानहरूका बारे आपूर्ति गर्नुपर्दछ जुन पर्यटकहरूलाई आकर्षित गर्न सक्दछन्। पर्यटकको आगमन र नेपालमा बस्न सकेसम्म सजिलो, पहुँचयोग्य र बढी सजिलो भएको हुनुपर्दछ।

नेपालमा पर्यटन को बारेमा निबन्ध 200 शब्दमा

पर्यटन संसारको एक ठूलो उद्योग को रूप मा उदाएको छ। विगत दुई दशकको अवधिमा द्रुत गतिमा विकास भइरहेको यस संस्थाले आज विश्वको उत्पादनको प्रतिशत भन्दा बढी हिस्सा ओगटेको छ र विश्वव्यापी रूपमा करीव १५० करोड मानिसहरूलाई रोजगार दिन्छ। दोस्रो विश्वयुद्धको अन्त्य देखि, यो विशाल राजस्व र वृद्धि सम्भावित विकास र आज एक अद्वितीय प्राकृतिक नवीकरणीय स्रोत उद्योग को रूप मा खडा छ।

पर्यटन — यात्रामा आधारित मनोरन्जनले मानिसहरूलाई परिवर्तन गर्ने ठाउँहरू र दैनिक जीवनको एकलताबाट विश्राम प्रदान गर्दछ। यसले विभिन्न राष्ट्रका मानिसहरूलाई एक साथ ल्याउँदछ, तिनीहरूलाई एक अर्काको परम्परा र जीवनको अन्य पक्षहरूको नजिकको सम्पर्कमा आउन अनुमति दिदै। यसले सुन्दर देशको प्राकृतिक सौन्दर्य र विगतका सम्पदालाई अन्य देशहरूका लागि देखाउँदछ। प्रक्रियामा प्राप्त ज्ञान र अनुभवले अझ बढी समझ र सहिष्णुता निम्त्याउन सक्छ र विश्व शान्तिको प्रवर्धन पनि गर्न सक्दछ।

पर्यटन सामाजिक, सांस्कृतिक वा वातावरणीय अवरोध पैदा गर्न सक्छ। सबैभन्दा ठूलो चिन्ता भनेको वातावरणलाई हुने क्षतिको हो। अधिक पर्यटकहरूलाई आकर्षित गर्न, विशाल रिसोर्टहरू निर्माण गरिन्छन् जुन स्थानीय आर्किटेक्चरल शैली वा ईकोलजीलाई ध्यानमा राख्दैनन्। अन्धाधुन्ध निर्माण र पर्यटकलाई पानी र फोहोर मैला सुविधा र मनोरञ्जनात्मक व्यवस्था प्रदान गर्ने प्रयासको परिणामस्वरुप प्राकृतिक प्रणालीहरु नष्ट हुनेछन्। वातावरणीय स्रोतहरूको अत्यधिक प्रयोगले पारिस्थितिक सन्तुलनलाई बाधा पुर्‍याउँछ।

सुरक्षित पर्यटन प्रवर्द्धन गर्न यो एक लाभदायक उद्योग नै रहेको सुनिश्चित गर्दै पर्यटनको बृद्धिमा अवरोध पैदा गर्ने कारकहरू बुझ्नु र प्रभावकारिता बुझ्नु आवश्यक छ।

There is a sub-tropical climate in the Southern part, temperate climate in the middle and cold climate in the northern part of Nepal. This gives the opportunity to the tourists to experience almost all the climatic conditions found in the world in Nepal. Thus, Nepal has the potentiality to develop a tourism business in all parts of the country.

Eight mountain peaks above the altitude of 8000m (Kanchanjunga, Lhoste, K2, Cho Oyu e.t.c) including the highest peak of the world Mt.Everest of height 8848m are in Nepal. These mountain peaks are suitable for mountaineering. The Koshi, the Gandaki, the Karnali, and other rivers are suitable for rafting.

Nepalese culture is the result of the fusion of Indo-Aryan and Tibeto-Mongolian influences. Nepalese culture includes ethnic, tribal, and social variations along with the cultural assets in the form of feasts, festivals, folk dances, folk music, foods, drinks, and much more. Nepal is considered a beautiful garden where people of different castes and subcastes bloom. Nepalis believe in “ Unity in Diversity “ and it is the specialty of Nepalese culture.

Flora and Fauna

Nepal is rich in flora and fauna because of climatic and topographic diversity. Different parts of the country have been developed as a protected area, National parks, and hunting reserves. Wildlife tourism is also regarded as one main source of tourism in Nepal. 208 mammal species like Bengal Tiger, One-horned Rhino, Asiatic Elephant, Indian Pangolin, etc, and over 900 species of birds such as Danphe, pheasants, stork, spiny babbler, etc exist in Nepal.

The Tourism industry has offered multiple benefits to the nation. Many Nepalese people are employed in tourism sectors like travel agencies, Five Star Hotels, Airlines, bus services, guides, and more. Cottage Industries have flourished in Nepal as tourists buy Nepalese curio items, handicrafts, wooden crafts, idols, and more. Because of the tourism business, the natural, cultural and religious assets of Nepal are rapidly being conserved. Moreover, the campaign Visit Nepal 2020 has declared the year 2020 as the “Tourism Year of Nepal”. Thus, the tourism industry of Nepal is contributing to Nepal’s development directly and conservation initiatives indirectly.

Tourism in Nepal

• Last Updated on Apr 9, 2020

Nepal is known for being one of the most famous travel destinations in the world. With thousands of tourists visiting the county every year, Tourism in Nepal has soared to new heights. Nepal has become a popular tourist hotspot. The capital city of the country, Kathmandu and the city of lakes, Pokhara are the top cities in the country to see a sharp increase in the number of tourists in recent years. With trekking routes to Everest and Annapurna flooded by foreigners throughout the year, the trekking has added a boost to increase the tourism market. From UNESCO world heritage sites to different ancient landmarks, from a diverse ethnic community to experiencing different cultures and traditions, all of which have been successful to catch the interest of foreigners to visit the country of Nepal.

So how did Nepal, a small country in South East Asia become a hub, which has been successful to attract travelers from all around the world? To get a better grasp on how this developing country made its way to be one of the top global tourism industries, let us take a look at how this all began.

History of tourism in nepal.

The History of Tourism in Nepal began, after the first successful expedition of Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary to reach the top of Everest. Before 1951, tourism was not an option for the country as the Rana Regime had banned any foreigners from entering the country. It wasn’t after the successful ascent of Everest that tourism had started to bloom in Nepal. In 1956, the National Planning Council on Tourism was established. With an addition to the National tourist Development Board establishment in the same year and Royal Nepal Airlines Corporation starting its services in 1959, the tourism just exploded in Nepal.

In the 1960’s and early 1970s hippies started to notice Nepal as the place to get an abundant amount of marijuana and hashish. The government started to notice the event and banned the selling of marijuana and hashish in 1973. This became a turning point in the tourism sector of Nepal. More and more people started to visit the country for its traditional culture and religion. With a high inflow of refugees from Tibet Buddhism started to become popular. As the community became diverse, in the 1980’s Nepal tourism board formally started to promote Nepal as a great destination for traveling. After the 2000’s the country is seeing a rise with the tourist inflow every year. Thousands of travelers are coming to Nepal to explore its pristine natural beauty and to observe the vast and rich cultures and traditions that it holds with its diverse religious communities.

Development of Tourism in Nepal

The popularity of tourism surged in Nepal after the country started to better care about its natural atmosphere(Resources) which helped in the Development of Tourism in the country. Nepal was recognized as the world’s second-richest country in water sources. This helped in promoting cities like Pokhara(known as the city of Lakes). With the capital bustling with tourists because of the one and only international airport (Tribhuvan International Airport) in the country, Kathmandu started to become the center for setting up hotels and restaurants to receive the foreign guests. Everest was already the top destination for all travelers visiting Nepal but began to change as new trekking routes started to come into operation. Pokhara made a big contribution by promoting trekking adventures around its city and surrounding mountain valleys.  An example is a famous trek to the base camp of Mt Annapurna(8091m, 26,545ft).

With the Everest trails flooded by tourists and travelers, new exploration options to some of the world’s highest mountains became popular. Actually, there’s more. 8 of the top 10 highest peaks in the world lie in Nepal. So you can see why the trekking became a famous tourism boot for the country. With cities and trekking becoming rapidly popular, adventure activities like paragliding, zipline, bungee jumping, rafting, and more started to get high responses from travelers. But, this isn’t all.

• Nepal holds a rich forest area with diverse flora and fauna which is a curiosity to  foreign scientists
• The country holds many UNESCO World heritage sites and popular landmarks famous throughout the world
• The addition of jungle safari in Chitwan was a huge boot to the Asian traveling market which increased the inflow of foreigners
• Lumbini the birthplace of Lord Gautam Buddha lies in Nepal and brought Buddhists from all around the world. 

Scope of Tourism in Nepal

Now lies the question. What can Nepal offer to its travelers and increase the scope of the tourism industry to grow itself to greater heights? The answer is rather simple. The Scope of tourism in Nepal extends from the east to the west, from the north to the south, from the air and to the land. With many rivers, lakes and water sources in the country, rafting and boating have and can become a better attraction to foreigners. The paragliding, hot air balloon, bungee, and Zipline through the air are seeing more interaction for foreign adventurers. Mountain biking, trekking, city tours, and site visits, and jungle safari is definitely one that brings excitement to travelers and foreigners by connecting them with the local traditions and culture and with the pristine natural atmosphere of Nepal. All of this plays a vital role to increase the scope of the tourism industry throughout the country. Every year new adventure activities like rock climbing and trekking adventures are popping up one after another in the country. If the Government of Nepal can manage all of its resources properly, the tourism sector of the nation can grow to greater heights in the international tourism sector.

Possibilities of Tourism in Nepal

The Possibility of Tourism in Nepal is actually, at a potentially high level. This has to do with its geographical location, its culture and traditions, landmarks, and probably the most important factor, is its natural beauty. Nepal has many forests, mountain valleys, and river trails. This is a major attraction to tourists who seek out quiet time with their families. Many travelers like to explore the nature and culture of the people. Nepal offers 101 ethnic groups with over 92 different languages. With vast culture and traditions, it is always a treat for the foreigners to observe the life of different communities in Nepal.

The mountain valleys hold the high snow peak mountains.

Advantages of Tourism in Nepal

Tourism heavily influences the working of Nepal's government. The advantages of tourism start with the following points

The main source of foreign currency

Tourism is the number one source to generate foreign currency in Nepal. As the tourism sector grows and more foreigners spend their time in Nepal, the inflow of the currency directly uplifts the working of the country. As Nepal imports more goods than exporting its local products, the foreign currency is the highest number two source to generate money for the country to compete internationally.

Supports handicraft and Cottage Industries

Foreigners take a keen interest in handicraft goods made from the local products using raw material available in the country. Goods like carpers, status, portraits are at a high demand by travelers. This helps the community to grow. It also expands the popularity of the Nepalese people’s handiwork throughout the world.

Development of Infrastructure

The Nepal Government after seeing tourism flourish in the country have given a lot of focus to develop facilities for the foreigner and travelers from all around the world. This helps to develop better infrastructure in the Country which benefits the citizens of the country as a whole.

Conservation of Art and Culture

When foreigners visit the country, they get to experience the local culture and traditions. Historical site visits and observing the art and architecture of famous UNESCO world heritage sites and landmarks help the country to spread its religious norms and values throughout the world.

Increase in Trade

As the tourism industry started to develop in the country, the demands for locally made goods and products started to increase in the global market. This boosts the economy of local businesses and the country as a whole.

Publicity throughout the World

Tourism helps us to spread our influence in the world. Names of sites like Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, Muktinath, Swayambhunath, Lumbini, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Patan Durbar Square, Davis Falls, Phewa Lake, and more have been successfully spread in the world. This has led to an increase in tourist inflow to watch visit these places and its surroundings. This helps to generate easy income for people around the landmarks and +

Importance of Tourism in Nepal 

The importance of tourism in Nepal is a business supporting its workers. From tourism, the Country has many benefits. Of which the most two important is basically the following:

1. Local Handicrafts industry, RestaurSupports ants and Hotels

Tourism in places like Kathmandu and Pokhara influences the Hotels and restaurant businesses. It also directly influences buying locally made handicrafts that the citizens show less interest in.

2. Helps to Grow the economy of the Nation as a whole

The main importance of Tourism is that it is the second-best method to generate an economy for the country. With the high inflow of tourists, the spending of their currencies provides a great income source to the less important currency of Nepal. This helps to develop the country's resources and help to develop the life of people as a whole.

Present Situation of Tourism in Nepal 

The situation of the Tourism industry in Nepal has taken a dire turn. This year, which was supposed to be the #visitnepal2020 (the slogan for the tourism year) went in ruins for the country. With the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China the virus has spread throughout the world. With travel bans and countries in lockdown, no one wants to leave their home. This has affected the tourism industry very hard. With the loss inflow of tourists, many organizations, companies, and businesses in the country are having a hard economical downfall. On March 30, 2020, the total cases for the coronavirus reached a total of 740,000 people who tested positive. It would have been easier if there was a cure for this pandemic. However, as the virus is never seen before type, the cure is still not available. The total number of people dead in the world crosses 35000. In Nepal, 4 deaths were confirmed with no accurate data of the positive number of cases reported. With such a situation in the world, travelers were banned from going out of their country. Even in Nepal, quarantine has become a usual activity since March 24, 2020. With every business that depends on tourism for a proper income generation, it all came to a Halt until further notice.  

Tourism in Nepal Statistics 

Tourism in Nepal can be estimated by some statistical data. Let us take a look at the year 2018. In this year, the ranks for the tourist with respect to their country are, 

• United Kingdom

If you take a look at their purpose for visiting, 703,843 people visited the county for holiday, 187,692 for pilgrimage tours, 169,180 for trekking, and 112,357 people for other reasons. The Shree number in just 2018 helps to look at the growth rate for each sector in the tourism industry. We have listed the arrivals of tourists from 2012 to 2018 through a chart which shows the staggering increase in the number of visitors to come to Nepal for exploring. 

For the Nepal statistics on tourism, we can see how important the country is prioritizing itself to better improve the tourism sector. 

Prospects of Tourism in Nepal 

Nepal has many prospects for tourism. From ancient art and architecture to historical landmarks the country is shaped around ancient architectural buildings surrounded by a beautiful natural atmosphere. The country has flatlands, rocky hilly trails, and high mountain valleys which shows the geographical diversity in the country. With this diversity, many options and services can be created to make the tourism industry boom in the country. Some Prospects the might play a key role are:

Pilgrimage and Spiritual significance

Exploring pilgrimage destinations that are scattered throughout the nation. Nepal is a Hindu country, which has numerous ancient pilgrimage sites. The Kathmandu Valley alone houses the famous Pashupatinath Temple, Swayambhunath and several other temples and monuments which have a rich cultural significance. Janaki Mandir in Janakpur, Tengboche Monastery in the Everest trail, Lumbini, Muktinath, Gosainkunda, and etc are just a few which are scarred throughout the nation. Moreover, the Himalayas are considered to have a huge spiritual significance to the Tibetan Buddhist culture.

City and Mountain Visits

The capital city of Kathmandu holds 7 of the 10 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Nepal and offers a sightseeing adventure to observe the rich cultural heritage of Nepal. If we look at Pokhara( the city of lakes), it is a popular destination with many famous site visits and trekking options around the region. Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Gautam Buddha and Chitwan, is the home of the rarest animals in Nepal. These city tours will have great help in making the tourists engage with the people around the region.  Trekking and mountaineering have always been the beginning of the start of tourism in Nepal. Of the world’s 14 highest peaks above 8,000 m, eight of them are held by the country of Nepal. The trekking trails and mountain views around these paths are a treat to the eyes of foreigners. With local people's rich culture and lifestyle around these mountain visits, it attracts the tourists. They take their experience home and share it around which is a free advertisement for the country. Just the mountain trekking alone sees thousands of tourists visiting the country.  

Natural experience and adventure activities it offers

The tropical jungles of Nepal hold some of the rarest wildlife habitats in South East Asia. The One-Horned Rhinoceros, The Royal Bengal Tiger, Snow Leopard, Red panda, and Musk Deers are just a name of new rare species seen in the region. The nature conservation centers house more than 850 species of birds in various parts of the country. With national parks providing adventure activities of Jungle safari, Nepal can see a rise in its tourism. Nepal is also popular with its adventure activities through its natural resources. Paragliding, Bungee, mountain biking, boating, zipline, etc are just to name a few.

They can also sample Newari cuisine, which includes dishes such as Chhoila (marinated meat) and momos (dumplings).

Challenges and Opportunities for Tourism Industry in the present Context

Nepal has a vast potential for tourism due to its diverse natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. However, the tourism industry in Nepal faces various challenges and opportunities. One of the significant challenges faced by the tourism industry in Nepal is inadequate infrastructure. One crucial challenge is the seasonality of tourism.

The majority of tourist visit Nepal during peak seasons, such as October to December and March to May, leading to overcrowding and overpricing during these periods. The industry must find ways to promote and develop off-season tourism to maintain a stable flow of visitors throughout the year.

However, Nepal’s tourism also has significant opportunities for growth, in retrospect to a plethora of niche tourism spectrum from bird-watching, mountain biking and trekking to sound cultural and eco-tourism. Some of the factors that the Nepal Tourism Board should bring forth as the Challenges and Opportunities for Tourism Industry includes:

Need for Sustainable Tourism Practices

Nepal has many natural attractions that are popular with tourists, such as the Himalayas and national parks. To ensure these attractions remain sustainable, the tourism industry can adopt sustainable practices such as reducing plastic waste, conserving water and promoting eco-friendly tourism activities such as trekking or cycling .

For example, initiatives like the “Trash Hero” campaign in the Everest region encourage visitors to dispose of their waste responsibly, reducing the environmental impact of tourism.

Potential for Cultural misunderstanding

Tourists visiting Nepal should be aware of the cultural norms and practices of their local communities to avoid misunderstandings. For example, in some parts of Nepal, entering a temple or religious site with shoes on is considered disrespectful. Tourists should respect this custom and remove their shoes before entering such sites.

Opportunities for Cultural Exchange and Education

Homestay and community-based tourism initiatives can provide opportunities for tourists to learn about Nepal’s local culture and customs. For example, the Tharu community Homestay Program in Chitwan offers tourists the chance to experience Tharu culture, including traditional dances, music and cuisine, while staying with local families.

Importance of Preserving and Promoting Cultural diversity

The tourism industry can promote and preserve this heritage by creating opportunities for tourists to learn about and experience Nepal’s culture. For example, cultural festivals such as the Bisket Jatra in Bhaktapur and Teej in Kathmandu provide opportunities for tourists to witness traditional customs and practices firsthand.

Additionally, cultural tours, such as the Newari Heritage Walk in Kathmandu, can educate visitors about the unique cultural heritage of Nepal’s indigenous communities.

Understanding Nepal’s cultural diversity is essential for tourism because it promotes responsible and sustainable tourism practices, creates a sense of authenticity and connection for tourists, and preserves the country’s cultural heritage.

If you are considering coming to Nepal, you must be aware of the cultural norms and practices of the local communities you visit, respect local customs and traditions, and adopt sustainable tourism practices. Ultimately, by understanding and appreciating Nepal’s cultural diversity, we can contribute to its economic development while preserving its cultural heritage for future generations.
