✅ Gorkha Gaun

Nepal has one practice; maybe it is 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 top destinations in Nepal for nature lovers and those seeking to experience rural tourism.

Though development is essential, sometimes not being developed can also be an opportunity. You need to know how to seize the potential of underdevelopment. Gorkha Gaun Resort is a prime example of capitalizing on such an opportunity.

A ten-minute rough road drive will take you to the resort. You won’t realize it is a resort unless you enter the luxurious deluxe rooms: no high concrete walls, no modern gate, no guard in an obvious uniform. You will see a village with identical houses.

✅ Further Information!

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

Wait! Don’t leave until they show you how to open the traditional lock of the room. Though the village-like resort looks rustic, you will find everything that deluxe hotels in the city provide.

Clean rooms with mud-painted walls and modern toilets with stone tiles are examples of advancement within underdevelopment.

Gorkha Gaun Resort is an artificial village inside a natural town. From a distance, it looks like an artist’s painting, painted by nature.

Such projects help preserve the existence of the village. I must say, some people are urbanizing, and others are resorting to traditional ways of living.
