Village Eco-Tourism in Jhyanglang Village






“Aama, may I help you with Kitchen work?”, Mojca, a 21 years old girl from Slovenia asks mother of host family with respect and in reply mother smiles and shakes her head saying “of course”. In Jhyanglang village of Rasuwa near Kalikasthan, rural village eco-tourism has started already with few European tourists to watch traditional culture of Hindus and Buddhist. Mojca enjoyed her 3 nights and 2 days cooking tea for family, cutting grass, doing some kitchen work and having experience with the traditional music and culture.
Child Club (http://www.newhorizonchildrens.blogspot.com/) have established a child library and cultural centre with the help of tourists and special support from http://www.ganesh-himal.be/ ASBL, Belgium. “It can be a good way to improve local economy and specially for the children, this can be a good source of income through which they can do a lot of things”, 45 years old French Kacem Tuoak says.
