Pokhara

 Pokhara has become a major tourist destination in Asia mainly for adventure tourism and the base for the famous Annapurna trek. Thus, a major contribution to the local economy comes from the tourism and hospitality industry. There are two 5-star hotels and approximately 305 other hotels that includes five 3-star, fifteen 2-star and non-star hotels in the city.

Pokhara is quite a modern city, however, many medieval era temples (Barahi temple, Bindhyabasini, Bhadrakali, Sitaldevi, Gita mandir temple, Bhimsen temple) and old newari houses are still a part of the city (Bagar, Bindhyabasini, Bhairab Tole, etc.). The modern commercial city centres are at Chipledhunga (slippery stone, which is still there) and Mahendrapul (recently renamed as Bhimsen Chowk).

The city promotes two major hilltops as its viewpoints to view the city and surrounding panaroma, World Peace stupa built in 1996 across the southern shore of Phewa lake which is located northwest of the city. In February 2004, International Mountain Museum was opened for public in Ratopahiro to boost city's tourism attractions. Other museums in the city are Pokhara Regional Museum, an ethnographic museum, Annapurna Natural History Museum which houses preserved specimens of flora and fauna, and contains particularly extensive collection of the butterflies, found in the Annapurna region and Gurkha Museum which shows history of the Gurkha Soldiers.

Since 1990s Pokhara has experienced rapid urbanization and as a result service and industries sectors have increasingly contributed to the local economy overtaking the traditional agriculture. The major contributors to the economy of Pokhara are manufacturing and service sector including tourism; agriculture and the foreign and domestic remittances. Tourism, service sector & manufacturing contributes approximately 58% to the economy, remittances about 20% and the agriculture nearly 16%.

Mt Everest, the highest peak in the world, has been enlisted as one of the top ten stunning travel destinations around the world by Forbes, an American publishing and media company.

Part of the Mahalangur Himal—a link in the Himalayan range—Everest, soaring to 26,035 feet, is the highest mountain on earth.

“Mt Everest is perhaps nature’s most magnificent creation—certainly it is the raison d’etre [reason for existence] in the climbing world,” Beth Greenfield of the Forbes magazine has quoted a travel planner.

“The Tibetan word for Everest is Chomolungma, which means ‘Mother of the Universe,’ and the Nepali name Sagarmatha means ‘Goddess of the Sky.’ Both are perfectly fitting, as there is no other mountain as grand as Everest,” Greenfield has quoted Peter Friedman, a trip expert.

According to government statistics, over 3,000 climbers have scaled Everest since it was first climbed by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Sherpa in 1953. Annually, over 32,000 tourists visit the Everest region, for trekking and expedition. Particularly, the Khumbu or Everest region has two tourist seasons—March-April-May in spring and September-October-November in autumn. The region receives highest mountaineers and trekkers in spring.

The royalty to climb Everest in spring ranges from US$ 15,000 to US$ 70,000 per expedition depending on the number of members (maximum seven) and the route. For an expedition that may have a maximum of 15 members, a fee of US$ 10,000 per person is charged.

Munamadan

Muna Madan, the finest piece of work in Nepali literature, still remains the highest selling publication since its first official publication in 1996 B.S. The publisher Sajha Prakashan claims the short epic as the most popular of its all publications making it the highest grossing book to date.

The book, according to Sajha Prakashan, has already been printed in 24 editions and sold around 1 million
copies. A total of 515,000 copies of the book were sold from its 14th edition in 1933 B.S. to its last known edition in 1965 B.S. With the book also being published by Jagadamba Publication, the actual number of books sold could be more than the official figure. However, Sajha Prakashan is the official copyright holder of late Laxmi Prasad Devkota’s literary masterpiece.
“People have started treating the book as a public property. That’s why they have started publishing it illegally without the consent of the official copyright holder. The illegal publishers should be ethical on this,” says Padma Prasad Devkota, founder of the Devkota Study and Research Center (DSRC).
Hom Nath Bhattarai, chief of literary division at the Sajha Prakashan, adds: “The book is very popular with the common readers of Nepali literature. There are also youngsters who start reading Nepali literature with Muna Madan.
“We label a book as best seller when it sells a thousand copies, but Muna Madan is par excellence.”
“Muna Madan’s popularity among everyone is because of its precise language and its human touch. Its short length and technique of Jhyaure Folk also helped it to become very popular” adds Devkota. “Royalty of Muna Madan and all other published book of Devkota come in a bulk on yearly basis from Sajha Prakashan” claims Devkota.
Muna Madan with its ever-growing popularity has now been translated into English, German, Russian, Korean, Maithili, Avadhi and recently in Chinese. There have also been numerous plays and a movie on this masterpiece.

Doctor's plan to save Rautes

After reading news reports about decreasing population of the nomadic Raute tribe due to various illnesses and unsafe delivery, a doctor has launched a medical campaign to improve their health condition in Dang.
As part of the campaign, Dr Sushil Koirala, who works in a tuberculosis hospital in the district, held a health check-up camp in a Raute settlement at Chisapani in Tulsipur Municipality-10 on Monday.
He also distributed some medicines and essential goods such as brushes, toothpastes, soap, mosquito nets, bed sheets, quilts and clothes for women. Koirala, who purchased the essential goods and medicines spending his three months’ salary, said he initiated the campaign so that the community keeps in touch with health facilities.
“I am engaged in social work keeping aside my regular job for some months as I am encouraged to help the community after reading news reports about their decreasing population,” he said. “I hope the campaign will aware the Rautes of their health,” said Koirala, adding that he will visit the settlement from time to time to find whether their health has improved.
Though reluctant in the beginning, the Rautes expressed happiness to receive the materials and get checked up. “We are happy to get medical treatment form a doctor even in the forest,” said chieftain of the community Surya Narayan Shahi, adding that many people in his community had died due to lack of timely treatment earlier.
Koirala said most of the Rautes were suffering from physical problems such as high blood pressure and pain in the back bone and joints. He said that health condition of post-natal women is also pathetic.

Satya Devi Adhikari, chairperson of an organisation working for the community, said frequent health check-up camps like this will play a great role in preserving the community. “Only three out of 10 infants survive on an average in the community because of unsafe delivery. So, saving the lives of children and mothers is a challenge due to their difficult lifestyle in forest,” she said. The population of the community has declined from 238 in 2007 to only 131 now.
