Village tourism has been recently introduced in Nepal. Nepal is a predominantly
rural society, and its rich culture and ethnic diversity are best experienced in
its villages. A growing number of programmes enable visitors to stay overnight
in private homes in traditional villages far from the tourist trails. |

Nepal where major
chunk of area is occupied by villages has tremendous potential in rural tourism.
Its main aim is to link Village Development and Sustainable Tourism through the
generation of income, employment and local markets for agricultural products and
handicrafts. Other objectives include the provision of incentives for
forestation and nature conservation and the creation of a global family through
the encounter between rural Nepalese people and foreign tourists during village
home stays, resulting in mutual understanding and learning.
The main target group of the program is women who will be the main beneficiaries
due to new income opportunities. It is a rural enterprise owned and operated by
the local people. It is a group activity, and benefits are shared among as many
villages and individuals as possible. "Village Trek", visits to indigenous
people are the activities, which will make tourists, experience rural life and
Nepalese hospitality off the beaten path with all the beautiful scenery and
cultural diversity of Nepal.
Accommodation is in individual guestrooms with host families or, in between
villages, in tents. During the trekking, meals are prepared by a professional
team. In the villages, the visitors can try a delicious, hygienically prepared
Nepali "Daal bhaat" consisting of locally produced rice, lentils and
garden-fresh, organically grown vegetables. The guestrooms are simple, but clean
and cozy.
