GORKHA: Nyauli Waterfall, located in Lapubansi, Ward No. 7 of Dharche Rural Municipality in northern Gorkha, is gradually gaining popularity as an attractive destination for domestic and international tourists.
The approximately 55-metre-high waterfall, situated between Tampu Hill and Dharche Chingar Hill along the banks of the Budhi Gandaki River, has become a popular attraction because of its scenic natural surroundings.
Water cascading down from the high mountains, the Budhi Gandaki River flowing below and the lush greenery surrounding the waterfall combine to create a picturesque landscape. Tourists travelling along the Manaslu trekking route also stop at the site to admire its beauty and capture photographs.
The waterfall has gained further attention in recent years following the circulation of photographs and videos of the site on social media. Young people and domestic visitors are increasingly travelling there in groups to enjoy the natural scenery, take photographs and spend time outdoors.
Specially constructed photo spots and viewing structures have added to its appeal. Visitors can also experience the refreshing spray of water as they approach the waterfall, making the visit more memorable.
Meanwhile, preparations are underway to develop additional infrastructure to promote tourism in the area. Construction work has begun on a motorable bridge near the base of the waterfall, while plans are being made to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) for further tourism-related infrastructure.
Local residents believe the destination could attract even more visitors if proper hiking trails, safe viewing platforms, sanitation facilities and other tourist-friendly amenities are developed.
With its rich natural landscape and tourism potential, Nyauli Waterfall could become an important attraction for Dharche Rural Municipality. Locals expect that its conservation, promotion and systematic infrastructure development will help increase tourist arrivals, create employment opportunities, promote local products and generate additional income for the community.
