It said the decision the meeting aims to explore potentialities and opportunities for tourism promotion especially in Dhorpatan.
The Baglung Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Dhorpatan Chamber of Commerce and Industry are jointly hosting the meeting in coordination of Reserve Office.

Dhorpatan, the country’s only wildlife reserve, has recently seen an increase in domestic tourist arrivals, although it has traditionally been known for welcoming foreign tourists interested in hunting. However, one of the challenges facing the tourism industry in the area is the lack of proper access roads to the Reserve and adequate hotel infrastructure.RSS
