PATA Nepal Chapter has launched a marketing campaign to introduce new products and promotions as well as raise awareness for lesser-known destinations, such as the western, eastern and northern parts of Nepal, where there are already wildlife, mountains, and cultural attractions.
Narendra Bhatta, general secretary of PATA Nepal Chapter and managing director of Heritage Tours and Travels, told TTG Asia that Nepal stakeholders recently invited a number of tour operators and DMCs from India to visit the far west of the country, where wildlife-sighting, rafting, trekking and pilgrimage programmes were introduced.

Similar fam trips will be held next year to help more overseas tour operators develop new programmes to attract travellers to Nepal.
To facilitate access, Nepal Airlines plans to launch a new service between Kathmandu and Sydney, Australia in the next few months, operated on an Airbus 332 with 274 seats in two classes. This would be Nepal Airlines’ first regular scheduled flight to Australia.
The airline previously operated chartered flights to Australia on a scheduled twice-weekly service.
Meanwhile, the Buddhist Circuit company, which organises spiritual tours connected with Buddha’s life, has launched the first Women Empowerment Spiritual Sports Run – Mother Maya Devi Maternity Route Marathon. The run starts from Lumbini and ends at Kapilvastu Palace, tracing the route Buddha’s mother, Mother Maya Devi took to birth the prince. The three-day marathon will take place across Enlightenment Day, Mahaparinirvana Day, and Vesak Day.
Having organised the Mount Everest Marathon for the last 20 years, Bikram Pandey, founder and owner of Buddhist Circuit, said: “This is the first women empowerment run dedicated to the queen who gave birth to Buddha. The programme will not just be for runners; visitors can also participate in a pilgrimage or a holy walk, guided by a nun or priest.”
