New hiking, trekking trails starts before Visit Nepal Year 2020

New hiking routes have been unveiled in Kavre district as the country gears up for Visit Nepal Year 2020 (VNY2020).
The hiking route – starts from Chapakhori of Temal Rural Municipality-7 and ends at Tongsom Kunda Lake in Yangbel through Pokhari Narayansthan – was inaugurated last week.
“Visitors hiking on the route can observe natural beauty along the trail and learn about the local culture and life,” said Rehnjen Dorje Foundation chairperson Lila Bahadur Lama.
“To promote the route, we plan to develop various attractions such as parks, welcome gates and temples while there are plans to construct a Tamang museum, an International Tamang Park and a statute of Gautam Buddha, which will be the tallest in the world,” said Ward No 2 chairperson Timalsingh Tamang.
Likewise, another hiking trail from Panauti to Namobuddha has also been inaugurated. The 10-km hiking route links the historical city of Panauti to Namobuddha via Sunthan and Shaikhu.
Yet another trail is under consideration. The Kavre-based Nepali Army Bishnu Dal Battalion is set to unveil a ‘unification trekking trail’ by connecting all the trails that former king Prithvi Narayan Shah had used, while unifying various small kingdoms into the unified country of Nepal.
