KATHMANDU, Oct 16: Nepal is set to witness a remarkable influx of tourists from Vietnam, marking a significant event in the country's tourism history. Rupsey Holidays, the tour company managing this initiative, has announced that a substantial number of Vietnamese tourists will arrive in Nepal simultaneously, thanks to the chartering of three aircraft for a three-day visit.

Managing Director of Rupsey Holidays, Ramesh Parajuli, revealed that Vietnamese tourists are scheduled to visit Nepal during the upcoming week chartering three Airbus A320 aircraft from Himalaya Airlines. The arrival dates are October 21, 25, and 29. The Vietnamese tourists will explore various Nepalese destinations, including Kathmandu, Pokhara, Lumbini, and more.

This touring group primarily consists of high-end tourists, which is anticipated to bolster Nepal's reputation as a destination for premium travelers. Approximately 15 percent of Vietnam's population practices Buddhism, and some of the visiting tourists are expected to extend their stay for meditation and yoga practice at various Buddhist temples and monasteries in Nepal.

Furthermore, Rupsey Holidays is working on facilitating reciprocal charter flights from Nepal to Vietnam, thereby making it economically feasible for travelers. The company is selling one-way vacant seats during the flight and has introduced a special tour package priced at Rs 120,000 for Nepali tourists interested in visiting Vietnam.

This package encompasses a four-night, five-day stay in Hanoi, Vietnam, including visits to various attractions, a one-day cruise, visa assistance, and round-trip airfare. Rupsey Holidays anticipates a substantial number of Nepalese tourists availing these charter flights to explore Vietnam.
