Lonely Planet says Nepal the world's best value destination for 2017
 |
| Boudhanath Stupa, Kathamndu |
“Nepal is the world’s number one destination in terms of service and value,” the Best in Travel 2017 list which showcases the top 10 countries, cities, regions and best value destinations for next year, added.

| Gorkha Palace Museum, Gorkha (Home of Brave Gurkhas Army) |
“The 2015 earthquakes caused devastation, but what is most striking from a traveller’s perspective is not how much was lost but how much remains.”
Landmark temples crumbled, but others came through with just the odd tile out of place, and whole swathes of the country escaped serious damage, including most of the popular trekking trails, it added.
According to the leading travel guide brand, Nepal has all the skills required to repair monuments and infrastructure, but what it does need is income.
“By visiting Nepal now and supporting local culture and people, you can help a nation rebuild and bounce back even stronger.”
Nepal is bouncing back from earthquakes and a fuel strike that made getting round the country tough. “It remains a fabulous choice for budget-conscious travellers, who can access the best of its world-famous trekking routes and underrated wildlife for well south of US$50 a day,” it describes.

“The number of visitors is slowly recovering and the time is ripe to get back to Nepal’s mighty mountains; wherever you go, you’ll receive a warm welcome, as your visit brings much-needed income to communities getting back on their feet.”
Lonely Planet’s listing certainly inspires the stakeholders as the country has already announced to mark 2017 and 2018 as ‘Nepal Visit Year’.
Millions of customers around the world rely on Lonely Planet to help them travel, the company said.

of Tourism Jaya Ram Acharya.
The delegation congratulated Mr. Acharya

successful tenure. Speaking on the occasion, TAAN President Rijal said that the
government and the private sector should work hand in hand for the development

general to take needful initiatives for ensuring smooth movement of tourists in
restricted areas.
Responding to the delegation,
Acharya said he would study demands placed by the private sector and

We need concerted effort of all government agencies to address burning issues
of the tourism industry," he added.

others, were present in the delegation.
