-Dil Kumar Limbu
Fulingling, Dec 31 (RSS): As many as 70
residents of Taplejung district have reached the Kanchanjunga base camp last
month. Over 100 locals of the district are ascending to the camp now.
Some youths are planning to reach the
base camp in near future, shared Dharke Sherpa, an entrepreneur of Dhunsa.
"In the previous years, no Nepali trekkers were seen ascending to the base
camp. I did not notice any local of Taplejung turning up here as a
tourist".
He further shared, "But now the
situation has changed. Residents of the district are thronging the base
camp".
The inflow of domestic tourists has
rendered relief to the tourism entrepreneurs, he said. The hotels and shops of
the tourism area remained closed. Tourism activities were also completely
halted.
Despite the pandemic, mobility of tourists has gradually increased in the area. "It has made us hopeful", said Pasang Sherpa of Gyabla in the base camp
