Ramayana Circuit to further increase Indian tourist flow to Nepal
The Ramayana Circuit includes major pilgrim sites in India and Nepal that are related to Ramayana, such as Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh as well as Janakpur in Nepal
Indian Ambassador to Nepal Naveen Srivastava has said that the proposed Ramayana Circuit will further boost the number of Indian tourists visiting Nepal.
Addressing an event organized by Pokhara Tourism Council on the occasion of Tourism Day 2023 in Pokhara, Kaski, the Indian Ambassador said that tourism flow from India will further boost tourism in Nepal.
Ambassador Srivastava said: “During Nepali PM Prachanda’s visit to India, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that the Ramayana Circuit works as a connection between Nepal and India. Last year, a Ramayana Train also had come to Nepal’s Janakpur which ensures the flow of Indian tourists to Janakpur. We have also pinned high hopes that the railways which we have operated between Janakpur-Kurtha-Bijulpura, would further increase the footfall of tourists, the number of tourists coming to Pokhara is uncertain but this would certainly boost the tourism of Nepal.”
The Ramayana Circuit includes the major pilgrim sites in India and Nepal that are related to the era of Ramayana, such as Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh, where a temple is being built for Lord Ram as well as Janakpur in Nepal, which is believed to be the birthplace of Sita, the consort of Lord Ram.
