Bhojpur. The ‘Jalpadevi Gurans Trekking Route’ has been constructed at Wakchakha of Ram Prasad Rai Rural Municipality-8, Khoxik located in the southern part of the district. The trekking route has been constructed with the aim of developing it as a religious and tourist area.
According to Ward Chair of Ram Prasad Rai-8, Bach Kumar Rai, the 800-metre trekking route has been constructed at a cost of Rs 700,000 with the objective of preserving and developing the area as a tourist area.
The construction of the trekking route has been started with the budget of ward and Nepal Climate Adaptation Program. Work is underway to make this place the main tourist destination here. Our goal is to make this area a major tourist destination as it is very beautiful in nature.
Chairman Rai said that the goal is to extend this trekking route to the Great Mundum trekking route in Amchok rural municipality. The construction of the trekking route is going on in two sections. Under the second section, a trekking route has also been constructed at Bhanjyang Shankheshwori. According to him, the trekking route being constructed at Shankheshwori is also being linked to this trekking route in the coming days.
Dik Kumar Jogi, a local, said the construction of the trekking route would increase the inflow of domestic and foreign tourists. According to him, domestic tourists will come to this area as it blooms well. He said that there is a lot of grass in the vicinity of this trekking route.
“This religious and touristic area had not been protected, but now the number of tourists coming here has increased after the construction of the trekking route. We hope that this will contribute to the development of the country,” he said.
Mahendra Rai, a local, said that the work started by the ward for the development of the tourism area here is good. According to him, work is underway to conserve the grass in the area. “Gurans is the main attraction of this trekking route and we are protecting the gurans here.
