Myagdi. Ratnechaur village in Beni Municipality-1 of Myagdi, which was dependent on red soil and agricultural production until a few years ago, is now known as a famous tourist village in the district.
From Kartik to Magh, there is a rush of domestic and foreign tourists here. In Kartik-Mangsir, tourists flock here to enjoy the view of the Dhaulagiri Himal, Myagdi, Baglung and Parbat rural areas in the background, and the attractive view of the mustard flowers blooming in the spring and summer months.
There are so many people here that they can’t even stand up to make TikToks and videos enjoying the mustard fields of Ratnechaur, a viral village located between the headquarters Beni and Baglung. Local leader Bharat KC informed that more than 12,000 tourists have come here to enjoy and have a forest feast since the beginning of the spring.
Looking north, the white snow range shines like silver. KC said that hundreds of tourists have been coming here every day since the beginning of the month to enjoy the mustard flowers blooming in the plain facing east and the blacktop road between the fields.
Now, Ratnechaur is a bustling place with the mustard fields of Pahelpur. Harish Gautam of Parbat Kushma said that the scenic view of the Dhaulagiri mountain range to the north, the lush green fields and the mustard flowers blooming in Pahelpur have further enhanced the natural beauty of this area.
The world’s seventh highest mountain, Dhaulagiri (8,167 meters), is clearly visible from Ratnechaur. Similarly, the smooth blacktop road of the Beni-Baglung road section along with the mustard fields blooming in the plains has added more attraction.
The picturesque sight of bees and bumblebees sucking nectar in the mustard fields has brought the village to life. People on the corners of the fields and on the right and left of the road are seen enjoying the mustard fields and the mountains.
The greenery of wheat growing amidst the early blooming tari has caught the attention of everyone who comes here. Wheat and mustard are swaying in the Ratnechaur field. Young people and the general public are busy making tik-tok and dancing to enjoy the beauty of the swaying wheat and mustard.
Local Netra Bahadur Mahat said that hundreds of tourists come here daily to take photos and make tik-tok with the mustard blooming in the fields on the right and left of the blacktop road of the Ratnechaur-Arjam-Jamarukot road section, the open mountains and the smooth road in the background.
He said, ‘Ratnechaur has become an attractive tourist destination. The locals here are working hard to preserve the originality of Ratnechaur and make it an agricultural tourist village.’ After the road in Ratnechaur, which was deserted until a few years ago, was blacktopped, people have been coming from various places to take photos and videos by using vehicles.
Fridays, Saturdays and public holidays tend to be more crowded than other days. Local Santosh Mahat said that it is difficult to manage the crowd of people who come to visit from different areas of Myagdi, Baglung and Parbat at the same time.
The 388-meter-long suspension bridge connecting Ratnechaur and Kudule (Fedi) in Baglung has also become another attraction for tourists coming here. “When people start coming to play bridge, enjoy the mustard and eat the forest feast, there is an unbearable crowd,” said a local Mahat.
Along with the surrounding greenery and the view of the smiling Dhaulagiri Mountains, the Pahelpur mustard on the flat plain has promoted tourism and also helped in the business of the locals, said outgoing ward chairman Tek Bahadur Thapa.
Thapa says that by creating a mustard production area, it can be promoted at the national level in terms of tourism during the current season, so local mustard can also be promoted and tourists can be brought in widely.
