As I remember, several repatriation flights to and from Nepal to different countries, rescuing tourists stranded throughout the nation from mountains to the deep valleys. The Government, concerned authorities and local bodies fid their best to retrieve tourists from different corners of the nation and got them back to safety.
Apart from that, Nepal Tourism Board and the concerned authorities did come up with the online services, travel locator and more to track down as much tourists as possible who were stuck on the midway trip throughout the nation. The response might not have been quickest but it seems most of the tourists were timely rescued during the lockdown and pandemic period.
Renovation of heritage sites carried out during pandemic
Moving on, from the higher level to the local government, the construction work of heritage sites that were destroyed by the massive earthquake of 2015, were completed as well. The historical monuments like Changu Narayan temple in Bhaktapur has been raised back to its full shape once again.
The concerned authorities took a full advantage of the pandemic and lockdown period to rebuild different development activities related to tourism. From small monuments like Dhunge dhara to the local falchas has been built back.
The most beautiful part of these works were the involvement of government, higher level to the local bodies and the locals as well. They worked in a team to give the heritage sites back to its real art.
It has been a dreadful past two years for the tourism sector of Nepal. However, the concerned authorities did respond greatly during the pandemic. Now finally, the tourism industry is getting back to its shape in Nepal and with this title, it looks positive at all sides for the tourism sector.
The awareness about the importance of tourism amongst the Nepalese in the modern world is a key factor.
There has been a immense cooperation and a helping hand from locals towards the tourism work.
For a small country like Nepal to win the title of Best response to pandemic is a huge achievement. People in Nepal are more aware about the importance of tourism today. Tourism has grown a lot in the present world and we can only hope for the best.
Nepal has recently been listed as one of the top destination for 2022 by lonely planet. Now with all these awards that the Himalayan nation has won, it is pretty much safe to say that Nepal is one of the top travel destination for the coming days.
On top of that, the most important thing as of now is the safety regarding the trip and yes, Nepal is safe to travel as of now.
As for a perfect trip for the coming days,
