This is Why Tourism Industry is Booming in Nepal

To get a break from the monotonous and unstimulating routine of life, people often choose to transport themselves to hill stations or beaches in order to refill their galleries and lives with some great sceneries and memories.

Every year, loads of mountaineers from all around the world are actively coming into Nepal to either start their mountaineering career or to get training in mountaineering. In this way, mountaineering leads the tourism industry of Nepal towards a positive path.
