The programme is led by the Nepalese Government with technical and financial assistance from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the International development Department and SNV Nepal.
This pilot program supports tourism development of six sites with major tourism potential: Taplejung, Solukhumbu, Rasuwa, Chitwan, Rupandehi and Dolpa. The objective of the programme is to encourage villagers to invest in tourist activities in order to derive maximum financial benefits. Several circuits have been developed allowing visitors to discover the country's natural and cultural richness while meeting local populations. Several villages on these trails have been trained in the reception of foreigners and offer tourist services (accommodation, catering, guidance service…). Thus, 48 village development committees have been established and manage tourist activity in villages.
