SOLUKHUMBU, July 11: A total of 55,979 tourists visited the Khumbu region in the last 11 months of the current Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/24, according to the Sagarmatha National Park.
Information officer at the Park, Manoj Kumar Mandal, said most of the tourists were foreign- 48,402, while the number of domestic tourists was 7,577.
Most of the tourists visited the region during the Baisakh month (mid-April to mid-May) and the least in Shrawan (mid-July to mid-August). Baisakh month considered appropriate for the tourists to visit the Khumbu region. But, the Shrawan has adverse weather, resulting in least footfall, Mandal added.
