Key Words: Tourism activities, Tourism Opportunities, diversity, Eco-tourism. Background Tourism is one of the important factors in the economic sector of Nepal. It doesn’t just create employment opportunities but attracts many international tourists which bring in foreign currency. In this regard, to have more international tourist means to be in more foreign currency and as the exchange rate varies, the foreign currency can be a boon for the economic progress of the country. People working in the tourism industry are the direct beneficiary but the people working in agriculture, airlines, hospital, hotels are the indirect beneficiary. The products from the indirect beneficiary can be promoted via tourism and get to the international market as well. It helps people to understand each other and respect each other which helps to maintain harmony in the country and around the world. Various relevant policy documents, proceedings of various seminars, study reports and such other documents can be reviewed for extracting secondary information of tourism and how tourism has been influential in the life of people who are dependent on it.

Prithvi Academic Journal
PRITHVI ACADEMIC JOURNAL Prithvi Academic Journal (A Peer-Reviewed, Open Access International Journal) ISSN 2631-200X (Print); ISSN 2631-2352 (Online) Volume 3; May 2020 Trends of Temperature and Rainfall in Pokhara Upendra Paudel, Associate Professor Department of Geography, Prithvi Narayan Campus Tribhuvan University, Nepal ABSTRACT Climate is an average condition of temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind, precipitation and other meteorological elements. It is a changing phenomenon. Natural processes and human activities have helped change the climate. Temperature is a vital element of climate, which fluctuates in the course of time and leads to change other elements of the whole climate. An attempt has been made to analyze the pattern of temperature and rainfall of Pokhara with the help of the two decades’ temperature and rainfall conditions obtained from the station of Pokhara airport. The increasing trend of temperature and the decreasing trend of rainfall might be the symbol of climatic modification. This trend refers to some changes in the climatic condition that may affect water resources, vegetation, forests and agriculture. KEYWORDS: Adaptation, climate, climatic modification, desertification, environmental problem, fluctuation, greenhouse gases INTRODUCTION Climate is an aggregate of atmospheric conditions including, humidity, air pressure, wind, precipitation and other meteorological elements in a given area over a long period of time (Critchfield, 1990). It is not ever static but a changeable phenomenon. Such type of change occurs in quality and quantity of the components of climate like temperature, air pressure, humidity, rainfall, etc. Natural and man-induced factors are responsible for the modification of climate. It is a global issue faced by every living thing of the world.

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.

Typology and Distribution in Pokhara Lekhnath Metropolitan City
The Geographical Journal of Nepal Vol. 11: 25-44, 2018 Central Department of Geography, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal Open space: Typology and distribution in Pokhara Lekhnath metropolitan city Ramjee Prasad Pokharel1*; and Narendra Raj Khanal2 1Department of Geography, Prithvi Narayan Campus, Pokhara (Tribhuvan University) Nepal; 2Central Department of Geography, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal (*Corresponding Author: [email protected]) Open space is essential part of city life because it provides an opportunity for recreation, playing, religious activities, political activities, cultural activities and so on. This paper discusses the types of open space and its distribution in Pokhara Lekhanath Metropolitan City (PLMC). An inventory of open spaces was prepared based on the available analog maps with intensive field verification. There are eight major and 32 subtypes of open spaces with a total number of 246 within the PLMC. The main types of open spaces are park, playground, religious site, water surface, cave, aesthetic view point, river strip and messy places. Those open spaces vary in form, size, ownership and functions. The distribution of open spaces is not uniform among the 33 Wards in the Pokhara Lekhanath Metropolitan City. The number of open space varies from only one to twenty-one and total area of open space varies from only 51 ha to 4786 ha among those Wards. Per capita area of open space ranges from 0.16 to 659 m2 among those wards. In many wards, per capita area of open space is less than 9 m² which is recommended by FAO. Such a poor situation is created mainly due to the lack of public land use planning, encroachment in open space for development of infrastructure such as public buildings, and lack of knowledge about the importance of open spaces among decision makers and local people and weak capacity of local people to protect and conserve open space from encroachment.
