  • Sustainable Tourism Enhancement in Nepal's Protected Areas Public Disclosure Authorized
    Sustainable Tourism Enhancement in Nepal's Protected Areas Public Disclosure Authorized Environmental and Social Management Framework Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized National Trust for Nature Conservation GPO Box 3712, Khumaltar, Lalitpur, Nepal May 2020 Executive Summary 1. Description of the Project: Tourism is one of the major contributors to the sustainable economy of Nepal. The direct contribution of the tourism sector in the national GDP was at 4% in 2017 and is forecasted to rise by 3.8% per annum to reach 4.2% in 2028 (World Travel and Tourism Council, 2018). Despite tremendous growth potential in tourism sector, Nepal stands as a low-cost tourist destination with much lower daily tourist spending than the regional average. This is a high time for Nepal to think about and harness high value nature-based tourism. Nature based tourism is a key driver of Nepal's tourism, providing the sector both comparative and competitive advantages in the unique setting of rich topographic, biological and cultural diversity. In this context, the World Bank is supporting GoN to implement the project entitled “Sustainable Tourism Enhancement in Nepal’s Protected Areas (STENPA)". Project Destinations: The project focuses on areas with Nature-Based Tourism (NBT) potential with the aim of piloting a sustainable tourism approach that can be replicated across Nepal’s protected areas (PAs). The project destinations include PA at their core, nearby gateway cities and surrounding areas with NBT potential, and has identified six PAs as the initial project destinations (Bardia, Banke Shukla Phanta and Rara National Parks, and their buffer zones; and Annapurna and Manaslu conservation Areas).

  • Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Gorkha OSOCC Assessment Cell 09.05.2015
    Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Gorkha OSOCC Assessment Cell 09.05.2015 This report is produced by the OSOCC Assessment Cell based on secondary data from multiple sources, including the Government of Nepal, UNDAC, United Nations Agencies, non-governmental organisation and media sources. I. Situation Overview Gorkha, with a population of more than 271,000, is one of the worst-affected districts.1 The epicenter of the earthquake was in Brapok, 15km from Gorkha town. As of 6 May, 412 people have been reported killed and 1,034 injured. In the southern part of the district, food has been provided, but field observations indicate that the food supplied might not be enough for the actual population in the area. Several VDCs in the mountainous areas of Gorkha are yet to be reached by humanitarian assistance. There are no roads in these northern areas, only footpaths. The level of destruction within the district and even within VDCs varies widely, as does the availability of food. A humanitarian hub has been set up at the Chief District Officer’s (CDO) premises in Gorkha town. Reported number of people in need (multiple sources) The figures featured in this map have been collected via multiple sources (district authorities, Red Cross, local NGO, media). Where multiple figures for the same location have been reported the highest one was taken. These figures are indicative and do not represent the overall number of people in need. 1 This is an updated version of the Gorkha District Profile that was published by ACAPS on 1 May 2015. As with other mountain areas of Nepal, Gorkha contains popular locations for foreign trekkers.

  • RE Subsidy Policy, 2073(English)
    (Unofficial Translation) Government of Nepal Ministry of Population and Environment Renewable Energy Subsidy Policy, 2073 BS May 2016 1. Background Nepal is endowed with good renewable energy potential. The major sources of renewable energy are mini and micro hydropower, solar energy, various forms of biomass energy, biogas and wind energy etc. Despite huge renewable energy potential, still around 85% of the total final energy consumption in Nepal is met by traditional biomass energy and around 28% of households (HHs) in Nepal do not have access to electricity. It is not possible to significantly improve the living standard of the low income population living in the rural areas if their renewable energy demand is not met. Extension of national grid to reach those areas is not possible in many years to come due to difficult terrain, high cost and existing energy crisis in the country. Therefore, clean and sustainable energy such as Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) needs to be developed as immediate and long-term solutions. The economic hardship of people living in the rural areas and the high initial cost of the RETs justifies the need of subsidy and concessional credit facilities to increase access to cleaner energy. 2. Past Efforts The Government of Nepal (GoN) has been supporting promotion and development of RETs since more than past two decades with support from Development Partners (DPs), private sector and non- governmental organizations. These initiatives have resulted in significant fruitful achievements in the development of renewable energy in the country. The GoN and DPs have been providing financial and technical support to increase energy access in the rural areas both for household's consumption and productive end uses.

  • Structural and Microtectonic Analyses of Barpak of Gorkha District, West-Central Nepal
    13 Journal of Nepal Geological Society, 2020, vol. 60, pp. 163-179 https://doi.org/10.3126/jngs.v60i0.31265 Structural and microtectonic analyses of Barpak of Gorkha district, west-central Nepal *Sameer Poudel1, Lok Mani Oli2 and Lalu P. Paudel1 1Central Department of Geology, Tribhuvan University, Kritipur, Kathmandu, Nepal 2Khani Khola (Dolakha) Hydropower Project, Dolakha, Janakpur, Nepal *Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Geological mapping was carried out in the Barpak-Bhachchek area of the Daraudi River valley, Gorkha district, West- Central Nepal for structural analyses. The area comprises rocks of the Higher Himalayan Crystalline and the Lesser Himalayan Sequence. Pelitic and psammitic schist, quartzite, calc-quartzite, dolomitic marble, graphitic schist, gneiss are the main rock types within the Lesser Himalayan Sequence. In contrast, banded gneiss and quartzite form a significant portion of the Higher Himalayan Crystalline. The area is affected by poly-phase deformation. The Lesser Himalayan Sequence has suffered five deformational phases (DL1-DL2, D3-D5),whereas the Higher Himalayan Crystalline has suffered four deformational events (DH1, D3-D5). Among these deformational phases, early deformational phases (DL1-DL2) of the Lesser Himalayan Sequence and (DH1) of the Higher Himalayan Crystalline are pre-Himalayan, whereas later three (D3, D4, D5) of both the Higher Himalayan Crystalline and the Lesser Himalayan Sequence are Himalayan. The Lesser Himalayan Sequence lying to the northern limb of the Gorkha-Kuncha anticlinorium is contorted into doubly plunging to dome-and-basin like en echelon type of non-cylindrical folds as Baluwa Dome and Pokhartar Basin (DL2 and D4). The direction of shearing as indicated by shear sense indicators (C' Shear band and Mica fish) is top-to-south coinciding with the regional sense of shear due to the MCT propagation.
