“The number of domestic tourists visiting the tourist hub by air or road has increased. Now tourism business of Mustang depends on domestic tourists to run,” he said.

Tulachan said that although exact number of domestic tourists is yet to be ascertained, many hotels in the district largely depend on domestic tourists to operate since two years as ‘the flow of foreign tourists is declining every year’.

“The culture of Nepali people visiting different places and enjoying is developing. Among those making their trip here are government staffers, students and teachers, who want to make their holiday more enjoyable,” he said.

Muktinath Temple, Kagbeni, Tibetan art and culture and natural beauty of the district are among major attractions for tourists. RSS
