January 17: Khaptad National Park, one of the main tourist sites in the far-western Nepal, has witnessed an upsurge in tourist arrival lately, according to a news report published by Rastriya Samachar Samiti (RSS).

The state-run news agency reported that the national park has collected Rs 200,000 plus revenue from the visitors so far in the current fiscal year.

Assistant Conservation Officer of the National Park, Prakash Bahadur Shah, said that more than 1,000 tourists including 29 foreigners have arrived here during this fiscal year.

According to the National Park, more visitors from neighbouring districts including Bajura, Achham, Doti and Bajhang visit the national park for inspection and leisure.
