A protracted war between the army-backed monarch, King Gyanendra, and Maoist rebels has already undermined the political system, severely damaged the economy, terrorised vast parts of the civilian population and affected relations with India and the West. Since late 2005 the three-way tussle has turned into a two-way fight between the monarch and his supporters and an emerging alliance of the seven main political parties and the Maoists. The violent insurgency led by the Maoist rebels first emerged in 1996 and has claimed over 13,000 lives. The Maoists’ ultimate aim, in theory, is to establish a “peasant-led revolutionary communist regime”. In practice, they want a new constitution written by members of a new constituent assembly that ends Nepal’s monarchy and establishes some form of republic. It is estimated that Maoists have strong influence in over two-thirds of the country. The insurgency has been strengthened by the lack of a unified front to deal with it. Apart from the rebels, three key domestic players exist"the king, the political parties and the army. Politics has traditionally been unstable, with a number of shaky coalition governments collapsing frequently. Faced with this perpetual instability, in October 2002 the king suspended Nepal’s normal democratic procedures and began appointing prime ministers by royal decree. Going one step further, in what was widely referred to as a “royal coup”, on February 1st 2005 the king dismissed the prime minister and government, placed leading politicians under house arrest and declared a state of emergency. Since then, King Gyanendra has ruled directly as chairman of a council of ministers, appointed directly by him. The king had given himself three years to restore multiparty democracy. To date he has the strong support of the army. Nevertheless, the triangular, tense and unstable relationship between the king, the politicians and the Maoists make the future of Nepal highly uncertain. Political background The Gorkha principality The modern history of Nepal dates from the second half of the 18th century, unites Nepal when one of the many small hill principalities of the region, Gorkha, began to expand under the leadership of Prithivi Narayan Shah, conquering Kathmandu in 1768. By 1814 more than 75 principalities had succumbed to the Gorkha armies, bringing all of the sub-Himalayan hill areas between Bhutan in the east and the Sutlej river in the west under Gorkha’s control. Jung Bahadur Rana began gaining political control in 1846. He later extracted a decree from the king that left the monarchy with only nominal power and transferred all sovereign power to the Rana family, who ruled as hereditary prime ministers and presided over an isolationist regime that kept most Nepalis in dire poverty. The system lasted until 1950 when King Tribhuvan fled to India and sparked a revolt against Rana rule.

    Overview of Tourism Development prospects in Nepal Dhakal, RangaNath 2015 Kerava Laurea University of Applied Sciences Kerava 1 Overview of Tourism Development prospects in Nepal RangaNath Dhakal Degree Programme in Tourism Bachelor’s Thesis January, 2015 2 Laurea University of Applied Sciences Abstract Kerava Tourism RangaNath Dhakal Prospect of Tourism Development in Nepal Year 2015 Pages 40 The aim of the thesis is to reflect the current profile of tourism in Nepal and to carry-out deep learning about the prospects of tourism development in Nepal along with interrelated national strategies and plans. This thesis investigates on the major role played by tourism for the development of a nation and initiations that are taken by government and local bodies to be in line with tourism development. For this thesis, analyzing the infrastructural support for the tourism development in Nepalese context was carried out. Basically secondary data relat- ing to the tourism industry of Nepal was collected through the web sites of various sources such as Nepal Tourism Board, National Planning Commission Nepal, and Bureau of Statistics Nepal and also through various journals published online to conclude the development horizon of tourism of Nepal. This thesis has briefly highlighted the existing development status of tourism in selected peripherals. And after the analysis of a national aggregate plan, the pro- spect of tourism development was highlighted by the work. In order to get the meaningful results Ex-post facto and analytical research method was adopted. Being the native, the natural beauty of Nepal has always remained in my attraction. Similarly, being under the graduation process in Laurea University of Applied Sciences under Degree Program in Tourism and compulsion to conduct thesis work in related field also motivated me for the tourism related study of Nepal.
