Nepal's Tourism: Embracing the Family Bond Beyond the Thrill

Published On: March 2, 2024 08:45 AM NPT By: Vivek Pyakuryal


Nepal's majestic mountains and exhilarating adventures have long lured international travellers. But for Nepali families seeking respite from bustling cities, the tourism landscape often offers limited options. While domestic tourism is on the rise, many resorts and activities remain geared towards adrenaline-pumping feats, leaving families wishing for experiences that cater to all ages.

The pandemic's impact on international travel highlighted this gap. With tourist numbers plummeting, resorts like Nana Jungle Resort in Chitwan realized a crucial shift: the rise of the domestic family traveller. The resort recognized the growing demand for experiences that foster connection and create lasting memories for generations. Families crave activities where everyone, from toddlers to grandparents, can participate.

Nana Jungle Resort's transformation exemplifies this shift. Nestled near Kumarwarti, away from the usual tourist hubbub, it offers a haven of tranquillity amid the wilderness. Its focus on sustainable and family-friendly tours provides opportunities to relax, learn, and bond with nature.

Imagine this: instead of white-knuckled rafting journeys, serene canoe trips down the Narayani River, where wildlife encounters unfold organically, jungle walks become treasure hunts for curious little ones, while elders recount folktales beneath starlit skies. The spacious and comfortable chalets feel like home, with living areas and kitchens fostering togetherness. It's a vacation where comfort and exploration coexist, where budgets aren't stretched to accommodate adrenaline fixes.

Nana Jungle Resort's success showcases the potential of family-oriented tourism in Nepal. This approach aligns perfectly with the growing middle class in India, our primary source of tourists. Families seeking meaningful connections with each other and their environment will find Nepal's beauty even more alluring when coupled with experiences that cater to their unique needs. Therefore, it's time for the tourism industry to evolve.

By creating diverse offerings that appeal to families, not just thrill-seekers, Nepal can tap into a vast and vibrant domestic market. Let's not just climb mountains, but climb the heights of family bonding, proving that Nepal's magic extends far beyond the realm of extreme adventures.
