Gorkha Gaun

Gorkha Gaun

Nepal has one practice; maybe it's the same all over the world. Once you are rich enough to afford city life, you leave your village and live in the city.  Instead of trying to develop your town, you abandon it. Gorkha Gaun is one of the best destinations in Nepal for nature lovers and those who want to experience rural tourism.

Though development is essential, sometimes not being developed can also be an opportunity. You need to know how to grab the underdevelopment. Gorkha Gaun resort is one perfect example of the utilization of such an opportunity.

Ten minutes rough road drive will take you to the resort. You won't realize it's a resort unless you enter inside the luxurious deluxe rooms: no high concrete walls, no modern gate, no guard on his obvious duty dress. You will see a village with identical houses.

Further Information!

You will be greeted by local people (working in the resort) who would give you the feel of the village by the traditional dress they wear. Smiling village people trying to serve you as much as possible will assign you the respective rooms.

Wait!! Don't go until they take you, and you may not know how to open that traditional lock of the room. Though a village is looking resort, you will find everything you find in deluxe hotels in the city.

Clean rooms with mud painted walls, and a modern toilet with stone tiles are examples of advancement inside underdevelopment.

Gorkha Gaun resort is an artificial village inside a natural town. If you look at it from a distance, it will look like an artist's painting, and it's painted in nature.

Such projects can help in the existence of the village. I must say some people are urbanizing, and others are resorting to that also in a traditional way.
