Fikkal (Ilam), March 18: The Terhakune Wetlands area located at the confluence of wards no. 1 and 3 of Mai Municipality is gaining popularity as a destination for domestic tourists.
The number of tourists from Ilam, Jhapa, Morang and other districts is increasing following the development of infrastructure in the Terhakune wetlands area, said Karsingh Rai, chairman of the Wetland Protection Committee.
The committee has arranged for two boats in the Terhakune pond, which is also becoming a source of attraction for the visiting guests.
Local resident Parbat Rai said that hundreds of domestic tourists come daily to see the Tehrakune wetlands including the pond and natural scenery. "On Saturdays and other public holidays, there is a crowd of tourists, including those coming for a picnic," said Rai.
Transportation has become easier with the expansion of the road leading to Terhakune wetlands, located 34 kms south of Ilam headquarters.
The wetland area is spread over around 300 ropanis including the pond area of around 100 ropanis. The surrounding greenery, hills and forests have added to the beauty of the pond.
