the village tourism, many
countries, including Nepal,
have been promoting
beautiful villages as
destinations for village
tourism. Throughout the
world, village tourism has

been identified as
destination for village

the area not only consume
the locally grown products
but also buy local
handicrafts as souvenirs.

apart from the traditional
farming, which will in turn
help alleviate poverty
thereby lifting the living
standards of the locals.
