Pokhara, a city known for its natural beauty and cultural heritage, is currently under the spotlight as Mayor Dhanraj Acharya of Pokhara Metropolitan City emphasizes the significance of declaring it as the “Tourism Capital.” This declaration has been made following the announcement by the Asian Development Bank and the Green Climate Fund. The move aims to bring attention and support to Pokhara’s mobility project, highlighting the potential benefits of enhancing tourism in the region.
The city of Pokhara, nestled in the lap of the Himalayas and surrounded by serene lakes and lush forests, has long been a popular destination for both domestic and international tourists. Mayor Acharya’s focus on promoting Pokhara as the “Tourism Capital” underscores the city’s efforts to further develop its tourism infrastructure and services to cater to the growing number of visitors.
