Myagdi. The construction of a road connecting Muna Malika, a tourist spot in Dhawalagiri Rural Municipality-3 of Myagdi, has begun. The Gandaki Province government and Dhawalagiri Rural Municipality have started the construction of a road connecting Muna to Malika.
Devendra Roka, Ward Chairman of Dhawalagiri Rural Municipality-3, said that the road is being constructed to attract tourists to Muna Malika, which has been neglected due to geographical remoteness and transportation inconvenience.
‘The rural municipality has allocated Rs. “The construction of two kilometers and one hundred meters of road from Muna to Sailakharka has been completed through the Sub-Bhokra Committee with a budget of 1.5 million,” he said. “The Infrastructure Development Office has prepared a contract invitation for the construction of an additional three kilometers of road from Sailakharka to Malika Dhuri with a budget of 2 million allocated by the Gandaki Province Government.”
Ward Chairman Roka said that after the construction of five kilometers of road through two schemes, the travel time from five hours will be reduced to 45 minutes. Currently, it takes at least six hours to walk on a steep forest path to reach Malika Dhuri from Muna. Once the road is constructed, it will take less than an hour to reach Malika by walking.
Muna Malika, where you can observe the sunrise, the Himalayan range, the mountainous geography, the forest products, and the wildlife, is located at an altitude of 3,700 meters above sea level.
Muna Malika, where you can observe the Putha, Gurja, Sisne, Dhaulagiri, Manapathi, Annapurna, and Nilgiri Himalayan ranges, is deserted. The settlements of Myagdi and Baglung are visible. You can see the hidden beauty of the clouds and mountains.
The trekking route from Muna to Malika Dhuri is also the habitat of the rare wildlife red panda (Habre), said Ward Chairman Roka. A fair is held in Muna Malika every year on the day of Buddha Purnima. There is a place for Jalika, Malika and Kalika Devi. It is believed that worshiping Muna Malika on the day of Buddha Purnima will fulfill your wishes.
Residents of Devisthan in Malika Rural Municipality and Muna in Dhaulagiri go here for worship. Elders say that religious fairs and cart throwing competitions used to be held here in the past.
It was customary for farmers from Muna to take their cattle and sheep to this area. Guests, tourists and devotees stay at shelters. Since there are no hotels and restaurants, they have to bring their own food and provisions.
A feasibility study is being conducted to shorten the travel time and route, build shelters, operate tea shops, and connect Muna Malika with the water bodies of Devisthan, Takamkot and Dhorpatan, said Resham Punamagar, vice-chairman of Dhawalagiri Rural Municipality.
