Because of this narrow focus, tourism has been centered primarily in Kathmandu and the cities, such as Pokhara and Chitwan. Even though Nepal boasts unique biodiversity across the nation, it has not been able to package it in a way that derives benefits from tourism. One of the major reasons for this has been the low benefit margins compared to the high risk of developing such tourism packages. Even though the tourism industry is one of the major contributors to GDP, it has time and again been affected by the political turmoil of the country and a lack of commitment and support from the government. The tourism industry is viewed as a sector that has significant backward linkages and helps to improve the livelihood of the poor; however, this has not yet materialized significantly in the context of Nepal, as major tourism benefits are retained by tourism entrepreneurs at the center. One of the major reasons for this is the lack of capital, technical, and human resources within rural communities. Even though Nepal saw an annual flow of 7.5 million visitors during the last fiscal year (2011–2012), only 40 percent were directly engaged in tourism related activities. Nepal has emerged as a destination for budget travelers, attracting tourists from neighboring India and China. With the rapid growth in the economy of these two countries, many people have more disposable income and are taking more holidays. Nepal is well placed to attract residents of second tier Indian and Chinese cities to develop its current tourism market. Similarly, Nepal‘s domestic tourism has been developing along with changes in the lifestyle of many Nepalis. A more cosmopolitan younger generation, coupled with a burgeoning middle class with disposable income and a growing number of nuclear families, has increased the demand for domestic tourism opportunities. Since most of Nepal‘s tourist attractions are nature and culture based, it is well suited for ecotourism. Ecotourism is defined as "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people."1 It is based on the principles of uniting conservation, communities, and sustainable travel. Also, to ensure that the benefits of tourism reach the local community, Community Based Ecotourism (CBET) is a great model for country like Nepal. CBET is a complete tourism initiative driven by the community wherein the local community improves its capacity to use social capital through collective action and enhances its levels of participation in the development process. In line with this concept of community based ecotourism is the Hariyo Ban (Green Forest) Program. It attempts to achieve its objectives of biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation and adaptation through approaches that include agriculture, forestry and tourism. This five-year program currently being implemented in the Chitwan Annapurna Landscape (CHAL) and the Terai Arc Landscape (TAL), and funded by United States Agency for International Development (USAID), is the foundation of President Obama‘s Global Climate Change Initiative in Nepal. The CHAL and TAL areas are rich in biodiversity and natural and cultural resources. Because of this they are ideal tourist destinations. However, these areas face climate change, rapid population growth, unsustainable land use, and rampant poverty, all of which have led to internal as well as external migration by locals seeking better sources of livelihood. The goal of this assignment under the Hariyo Ban Program is to learn lessons from successful community ecotourism pilots, identify two sites in CHAL and two sites in TAL with the potential to promote community based ecotourism, and to produce site-specific ecotourism plans based on economic feasibility, social acceptability, environmental 1 The International Ecotourism Society, 1990. 2 World Travel and Tourism Council, Travel & Tourism Economic Impact 2012, Nepal. 3 Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation, ―Nepal Tourism Statistics 2011, Annual Statistical Report.‖ 4 15 Randal| P a gl, e A. 1987. Resource Economics. Second Edition. New York: John WileyNepal and Sons. Economic Forum sustainability, and the capability of the sites to provide alternative livelihood options to local communities. The study has explored how we can increase the local community‘s involvement in the tourism activities under CBET through small interventions and partnerships. As the tourism sites in the TAL and CHAL landscapes are isolated from the main tourism market they will require external support in the initial years to be sustainable. In order to gain insight from existing CBET activities in Nepal, a rapid assessment of two existing community based ecotourism destinations, namely the Baghmara Community Forest (BCF) in Chitwan (CHAL/TAL) and Ghalegaon village in Lamjung district (CHAL), has been made. In addition to investigating successful ecotourism activities, a third case study of the Sirubari village in Syangja district was also documented in the report. Baghmara Community Forest was a dense forest famous as a hunting ground for tigers. However, it has faced deforestation over the past 20 years. To undo this damage, a reforestation project started in the 1980s. In 1995, the BCF was also opened for tourism to bring in an additional source of revenue to the user group members. The reforestation efforts have been fruitful and the forest has come back to its original dense form. Tourism figures have also increased over the years. The tourism initiative has definitely brought about positive changes to the community in terms of overarching infrastructure, improved sanitation, and trainings. However, it has not directly provided a means of livelihood to the community. This is because of an inefficient management committee stalled by politicization. Ghalegaon in Lamjung is another form of CBET wherein members of the community conduct homestays in their village residences. Due to their dependence on subsistence agriculture, the locals relied heavily on remittances. In order to provide an alternate means of livelihood, they started providing homestay facilities. While the villagers conducting homestays have directly benefitted, the homestay program has failed to incorporate Dalits and marginalized groups. Nonetheless, Ghalegaon was more successful in providing a means of livelihood to the community than the Baghmara initiative. While CBET activities have been successful overall, much can be learned from their mistakes. Indeed, it was imperative to document the problems that led to the downfall of the project. Sirubari was the first village to start homestays in 1997. In addition to having the first mover advantage, the initiative was successful because of its strong leadership, community participation, and proactive marketing at the national level. However, the Sirubari village locals were associated with the Gurkha Army and when they became eligible for resident status in the United Kingdom, most opted for it and migrated to the United Kingdom. This reduced the number of households running homestays. There was no new investment because only marginalized groups with no investment money were left behind. The quality of service started dropping and other similar products started coming up, giving rise to competition. This ultimately led to the failure of the first homestay model in Nepal. From the three pilot site studies, we learned that the following criteria

  • Water Quality in Pokhara: a Study with Microbiological Aspects
    A Peer Reviewed TECHNICAL JOURNAL Vol 2, No.1, October 2020 Nepal Engineers' Association, Gandaki Province ISSN : 2676-1416 (Print) Pp.: 149- 161 WATER QUALITY IN POKHARA: A STUDY WITH MICROBIOLOGICAL ASPECTS Kishor Kumar Shrestha Department of Civil and Geomatics Engineering Pashchimanchal Campus, Pokhara E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Obviously, water management is challenging issue in developing world. Dwellers of Pokhara use water from government supply along with deep borings and other sources as well. Nowadays, people are also showing tendency towards more use of processed water. In spite of its importance, quality analysis of water has been less emphasized by concerned sectors in our cities including Pokhara. The study aimed for qualitative analysis of water in the city with focus on microbiological aspects. For this purpose, results of laboratory examination of water samples from major sources of government supply, deep borings, hospitals, academic institutions as well as key water bodies situated in Pokhara were analyzed. Since water borne diseases are considered quite common in the area, presence of coliform bacteria was considered for the study to assess the question on availability of safe water. The result showed that all the samples during wet seasons of major water sources of water in Pokhara were contaminated by coliform bacteria. Likewise, in all 20 locations of Seti River, the coliform bacteria were recorded. Similar results with biological contamination in all samples were observed after laboratory examination of more than 60 locations of all three lakes: Phewa Lake, Begnas Lake and Rupa Lake in Pokhara. The presence of such bacteria in most of the water samples of main sources during wet seasons revealed the possibilities of spreading water related diseases.

Department of Forest Resources Management THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date: AUGUST 1985 Abstract Data on erosion processes and other aspects of environmental change in the Himalaya are scarce and unreliable, and consequently policy decisions have been taken in a quantitative vacuum. Published estimates of denudation for large catchments in Nepal vary from 0.51 to 5.14 mm/yr, and indicate a dynamic geomorphological environment A review of the literature on erosion in Nepal revealed a consensus that: (1) mass wasting is the dominant hillslope process; (2) activity is seasonal, with virtually all failures occurring during the monsoon; (3) geological factors are the most important determinants of slope stability; (4) sediment delivery to channels is high; (5) little quantitative evidence exists to link landsliding to deforestation.

  • Nepal Growth Diagnostic
    The production of the constraints analyses posted on this website was led by the partner governments, and was used in the development of a Millennium Challenge Compact or threshold program. Although the preparation of the constraints analysis is a collaborative process, posting of the constraints analyses on this website does not constitute an endorsement by MCC of the content presented therein. 2014-001-1569-02 Nepal Growth Diagnostic May 2014 Foreword It is my pleasure to introduce the recently completed constraints to growth analysis, which is the result of a partnership between the Government of Nepal and the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), a United States Government aid agency dedicated to promoting economic growth and poverty reduction. In December 2011, and subsequently in 2012 and 2013, the Board of Directors of MCC selected Nepal as eligible to develop a threshold program. A joint team of economists working on behalf of the governments of Nepal and the United States conducted extensive research and analysis for more than one year, proactively engaging a wide array of stakeholders both within and outside of the Government of Nepal. This extensive and inclusive analysis concludes that there are four main binding constraints to economic growth in Nepal: policy implementation uncertainty; inadequate supply of electricity; high cost of transport; and challenging industrial relations and outdated labor laws and regulations. Agreeing with these findings, the Government of Nepal recently highlighted power and transport infrastructure development as priority sectors for intervention. I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to the team of MCC, USAID, and Nepalese economists, along with officials from the Ministry of Finance, for their hard work coordinating and successfully concluding this exercise.
