Academic Editor: Pavlos S.

This important tourist city is under intense pressure from rapid urbanization and population growth. Multiple hazards and risks are rapidly increasing in Pokhara due to unsustainable land use practices, particularly the increase in built-up areas. This study examines the relationship among urbanization, land use/land cover dynamics and multiple hazard and risk analysis of the Pokhara valley from 1990 to 2013. We investigate some of the active hazards, such as floods, landslides, fire, sinkholes, land subsidence and earthquakes, and prepare an integrated multiple hazard risk map indicating the highly vulnerable zones.

  • Hydrological and Hydraulic Analyses of Urban Storm Water Drainage System of Major Area of Pokhara, Nepal
    Hydrological & Hydraulic Analyses of Urban Storm Water Drainage System of Major Area of Pokhara, Nepal Hydrological and Hydraulic Analyses of Urban Storm Water Drainage System of Major Area of Pokhara, Nepal Keshav Basnet*,1, Krishna Chettri1, Ganesh Parajuli2, and Achyut Bhandari1 1Department of Civil and Geomatics Engineering, Pashchimanchal Campus, Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University, Pokhara, Nepal 2Parajuli Software Pvt. Ltd., Kathmandu, Nepal *Corresponding Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The immense increase of the structural activity which decreases the pervious area of the city is alarming danger situation pertaining to drainage. Urbanization and improved area of imperviousness are the major contributors that make the existing drainage network insufficient while inadequate maintenance and haphazardly throwing rubbish on the road and drain are other issues. The major objective of the study is to analyze the hydrological and hydraulic status of the urban storm water drainage system of the major area of Pokhara City of Nepal and to compare the calculated result with existing situation, using Rehm tools HYKAS and GraPS under AutoCAD environment. The results of this study show that the size of the existing road side drains is inadequate to handle all the surface runoff. It is found that the existing situation of the drainage system is quite poor and need to be redesign or reconstruct immediately. The hydraulic load of almost all the conduit is beyond the limit assigned. The hydraulic design of the most of the drainage conduit is inadequate and re-design of the drain is essential based upon accurate flow estimation methods. This study concludes that the applicability of the current drainage system is quite poor and needs to make certain changes with their construction immediately in order to avoid any danger and adverse effect possessed by surface flooding over the road surface and other paved surfaces.

  • Nepali: पोखरा उप-महानगरपािलिका Pokhara
    Pokhara Sub-Metropolitan City (Nepali: पोखरा उप-महानगरपाि줿का Pokhara Upa- Mahanagarpalika) is the second[1] largest city of Nepal with 264,991[2] inhabitants and is situated about 200 km west of the capital Kathmandu.[3] It serves as the headquarters of Kaski District, Gandaki Zone and the Western Development Region.[4] Pokhara is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Nepal.[5] Three out of the ten highest mountains in the world — Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I and Manaslu — are situated within 30 miles (linear distance) of the city, so that the northern skyline of the city offers a very close view of the Himalayas.[6] Due to its proximity to the Annapurna mountain range, the city is also a base for trekkers undertaking the Annapurna Circuit through the ACAP region[7] of the Annapurna ranges in the Himalayas. Pokhara is situated in the northwestern corner of the Pokhara Valley,[8] which is a widening of the Seti Gandaki valley that lies in the midland region (Pahad) of the Himalayas. In this region the mountains rise very quickly[9] and within 30 km, the elevation rises from 1,000 m to over 7,500 m. As a result of this sharp rise in altitude the area of Pokhara has one of the highest precipitation rates in the country (3,350 mm/year or 131 inches/year in the valley to 5600 mm/year or 222 inches/year in Lumle).[10] Even within the city there is a noticeable difference in rainfall between the south and the north of the city, the northern part of the city situated at the foothills of the mountains experiences proportionally higher amount of precipitation.

  • District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) of Kaski District
    District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) of Kaski District CHAPTER I : - INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The development of road network is the backbone of the development of economic activities such as exploitation of the agricultural potentiality, enhancement of local production, sustainability of tourism, employment opportunities etc. The road projects are varying from programme to programme despite the fact that they are implemented through the DDC, DOR, DCs and local people. It is obvious that there is an extensive diversity in the planning process, implementation modality, technology used, incurred cost, involvement of beneficiaries, planned benefits and the focus of the project implemented by different agencies. Absence of long-term perspective and sustainable visions, ad-hoc practices in fulfilling the needs, under-utilization of resources as well as the returns, over investment against the desired benefits, improper utilization of resources, under mobilization of limited technical human resources, deforestation, superstition and lack of co-ordination among implementing agencies are identified as major constraints for development of the district. Consequently, for the development of road networks in the district, Ministry of Local Development through DoLIDAR has provided support to the DDC for process planning. The process planning adopts a single approach for the development of Agricultural and Rural Roads in line with the poverty alleviation objectives and the decentralized participatory development concepts. Under this approach District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) which is a long term perspective plan to set up the clear vision of road network of the district and its priority of investments, is prepared as part of planning process with inclusive of District Development Potential Map which indicates the existing growth centre and areas having development potentials.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Pokhara has unique assets for tourism development and a great diversity of products. Key attractions include its nature, trekking and adventure activities, religious and cultural sites. It has an established niche in international tourism, with tourist arrivals showing strong and stable growth. However, the market starts showing some worrying trends. Its traditional value segment of tourists has declined sharply, while its low-end volume segment of tourists has increased rapidly. There are signs of overcrowding and degradation of key assets. In the absence of recent Pokhara data, Nepal has experienced downward swings in tourist arrivals for two consecutive years since 2012, even before the earthquake shook the landlocked country in 2015. International tourists come to Pokhara basically for its natural beauty. The first attraction is trekking. Annapurna Base Camp is one of the best places to do trekking in the world and it is widely recognized the world over. Soft adventure activities are gaining ground as well. The cultural sites, however, are basically points of interest for domestic tourists. They seem to fail in attracting international tourists as much. Growing demands, thanks to the rising middle class in the neighbouring markets as well as Nepali domestic market, offer opportunities to the tourism of Greater Pokhara.
