After the success of Visit Nepal
Year 1998 and Nepal Tourism Year 2011, the Tourism Board of Nepal introduced
Visit Nepal Campaign 2020. The Campaign was announced in 2015 to be held in
2018 but was later postponed to 2020. Nepal needs no introduction. The
country of extremes, it is a must-go-to destination for travel enthusiast all
around the world. However, if you are unbeknownst to the beauty and charm of
Nepal, then mentioned below are the 10 reasons you must visit Nepal in 2020.
Nepal has always been a
frontrunner among world’s top tourist destinations. Tourism kicked off in 1953
with the first successful expedition of Mt. Everest and boomed in the 1960s and
1970s as a Hippie’s paradise. Over the course of decades, the country has
hosted millions of tourists who flock the nation to marvel at its peaks,
heritage, and country life. Visit Nepal 2020 campaign was
scheduled in 2018 to promote that Nepal was a safe place to travel and only 12
of 75 districts were affected by the earthquake. The crawling upgrading
activity of Tribhuwan International Airport and delayed construction of Gautam
Buddha International Airport in Lumbini and improper transportation
infrastructure led the Tourism Board to postpone the campaign to 2020.
What are the reasons you must
visit Nepal in 2020? Is it just it’s beauty? Is it because it hosts 8 of the 10
highest peaks in the world, or is it because it is the land of the highest
mountain in the world Mount Everest? Is it because of the humungous number of
cultures and traditions followed in Nepal or because of the thousands of
species of flora and fauna found across the country? There are a million
reasons to visit this paradise, but we have jotted down some reason you must
visit Nepal in 2020.
Rebirth of medieval landmarks
During the massive 2015
earthquake, several of Kathmandu Valley and surrounding area’s historic
cultural heritages were destroyed. These centuries old heritages weren’t only
the epitome of exemplary Newari heritage but also carried the country’s true
history and legacy within them. However, with the government’s quick
initiatives and aids from Samaritan countries like China and Japan, the
restoration of these heritages is taking place in a rapid manner and they will
be back in their old-world charm just in time for the tourism year.
Bio-diversity of Birds and Watching endangered animals
Nepal is not only about trekking
and mountain climbing. It is also destination for geographic experts and people
who study flora and fauna too. Nepal boasts a wide range of animals and plants,
some found just in Nepal. Nepal has 852 species of birds and bird watching has
evolved into a sought-out activity of tourists. Nepal also homes several
endangered species such as the Bengal Tiger, One Horned Rhinoceros, Bengal Fox,
Red Panda and the elusive Snow Leopard. Nepal is a perfect spot for migratory
birds to stay a few months; hence bird watching is even more popular in the
migratory season. If you are a bird enthusiast or an ornithologist, then, by
all means, you must visit Nepal in 2020.
Better infrastructures
While the talks for monorails
from India and China are in their final stages, the construction of
international airport in Bhairahwa and reconstruction of the Tribhuvan
International Airport in Kathmandu have already begun. Similarly, construction
of roads in rural areas and expansion in cities, flourishing of hotels
throughout the country, and wide reach of internet even in the mountains will
make your Nepal visit a comfortable one.
Kathmandu – Also known as a city of temples
Nepal is also rich in culture and
traditions. There are countless ethnic groups each following their distinct art
and religions. This diverse traditions and lifestyle is a prominent feature of
Nepalese people. Nepal boasts in cultural diversity, and this vast tradition
showcases in the heritage and temples. In Kathmandu alone, there are 7 UNESCO
World Heritage sites including Pashupatinath, Boudhanath and Durbar Squares.
The first city you will see when
visiting Nepal is Kathmandu. Kathmandu is another one of the major reasons why
you should visit Nepal, in 2020. While Nepal had been hit by a massive
earthquake in the year 2015, it has managed to revoke its architectural delights
into its former glory. Kathmandu is aptly called as the city of temples because
of the abundance of temples found there. Kathmandu has several World Heritage
Sites under its collars. All of these sites are locations of substantial
architectural importance, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistic nature of
the peace-loving Nepalese. The city of temples showcases architecture in its
pure raw form, and you should visit the city at least once in your lifetime.
Exciting new destinations
Nepal already has an overwhelming
number of destinations and activities to choose from. However, tourism bodies
of Nepal are still keen to add more varieties. While destinations like
Kathmandu, Pokhara, Everest and Annapurna regions have been largely explored,
some very beautiful destinations like Khaptad and Dolpo are yet to be explored.
Tourists can brace themselves to visit these destinations as we expect many
travel agencies to come up with exclusive packages featuring these
destinations.
Customized and tailored packages
With the advent of tourism year,
Nepal’s tourism and travel agencies which currently exist in hundreds of
numbers, will try to capitalize on high arrival of tourists. Cutthroat
competition being a certainty, these businesses will try their best to come up
with new, exciting packages that offer more value for less money. They will
also certainly try to get an edge by introducing exciting and pioneering
packages to new destinations. Here are some of the best travel
