Nepal As a Sustainable Tourist Destination When we see the word “sustainability”, the first thought that comes to our mind is the optimum utilization of present resources without compromising the needs of the future generations. This may sound like a definition from a textbook, but the fact remains that sustainability is important; whether it is written in big block letters on a billboard, spoken by a celebrity, or printed in black font in a children’s textbook. Sustainability is the need of the hour and to show solidarity for this concept, Nepal has taken a big step towards acknowledging and adopting a new and much needed form of tourism – Eco Tourism. Tourism is one of the main attractions in Nepal, especially in the trekking months. Large crowds of visitors enthusiastically await a journey up the slopes of the mountain giants each year. Moreover, bursts of spiritual, recreational, and cultural festivities adorn the center of the country each year and play a pivotal role in enhancing the experience of the visiting trekkers and tourists. Nevertheless, this popularity in Nepal comes largely from the attitude developed towards sustainable tourism in the country. The meaning of this is simple: adopting eco-friendly approaches with the goal of not only maintaining a popular destination but also encouraging community development and the fulfilment of the local populace’s needs.
