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
"Daalbhaat"
consisting
of
locally
produced
rice,
lentils
and
garden-fresh,
organically
grown
vegetables.
The
guestrooms
are
simple,
but
clean
and
cozy. |
