Nepal Sports Tourism
Nepal, The Land of Buddha, The Land of Mount Everest, The Birthplace of Sita. Simply History and Nature have been generous to bestow Nepal with its numerous blessings; the panoramic mountain views, historic pilgrimage sites, bewitching lakes, waterfalls, eye-catching sunset, surrounding greenery and many more. Nepal is truly a paradise on Earth engraved in the heart of Asia. Taking advantage of its spectacular setting, Nepal is developing itself as a sports hub for tourists. Nepal Sports Tourism article talks about the possibilities of Sports Tourism in Nepal.
Of late, tourism entrepreneurs have focused on adventurous sports such as sky diving, Heli skiing, Paragliding, bungee jumping, rafting, honey hunting, etc. Sports tourists, especially from Europe, America and China, love these games.
Now, imagine an experience of bungee jumping above the BhoteKhosi river, Paragliding over Phewa lake, rafting on the Trisuli; wow, these sites are so mesmerizing. Every person in the world would love to experience that unique feeling at least once in their lifetime.
Sports & Nepal
As a sports fan, adventurous and globally loved sports such as cricket and football can also play an excellent part in bolstering sports tourism in Nepal. The picture says it all, more than 20000 spectators gathered together at the TU ground on the occasion of a cricket match between Nepal and Namibia in WCLC just a few months earlier. This shows the people's love, craze, and passion for the game. And watching that sight, I thought, why can't we attract the other international teams to play here in Nepal. We have already hosted a tribute game for Philip Hughes and can host. Let's say an Indo-Pak game as a neutral venue by improving infrastructures and proper facilities. We can do a lot of bolstering our sports tourism and tourism overall.
Nepal is progressing well in tourism as a stunning gift of nature, but the prospect of bolstering tourism by developing it as a sports hub is just mouth-watering. Simple homework must be done to make Sports Tourism a big reality in Nepal. But if we do so, we will see Nepal as a Center of Sports tourism soon.
