The number of people visiting Chitwan National Park starts to decrease after Chaitra. But this year, more people have visited Chitwan National Park in Baisakh than in Chaitra. Avinash Thapa Magar, the park's information officer, has informed that a total of 29,740 people, including domestic, foreign and SAARC countries, visited the park in Baisakh last year. This number of people visiting the park in Baisakh is the highest in three years.
Usually, the number of people visiting Chitwan National Park is highest in the month of Kartik. It is seen in the park's details that after winter, the number of people visiting the park increases in the month of Chaitra. Last Kartik, 32,252 people visited the park. After that, the number decreased and reached 27,405 in Falgun. It decreased further to 25,985 in Chaitra. But it has increased again in Baisakh.
In the fiscal year 080/81, there were 26,630 people visiting the park in Baishakh. That year, 34,419 people visited the park in Chaitra. Similarly, in the fiscal year 081/82, 22,777 people visited the park in Baishakh. The previous month, the number of people entering the park in Chaitra was 25,422. This fiscal year, more tourists came in Baishakh than in Chaitra.
Most of the visitors are domestic. The number of SAARC countries visiting the park in Baishakh has decreased slightly compared to Chaitra. Foreigners have increased slightly. Foreign tourists came in Chaitra to 9,717 and in Baishakh to 9,881. Similarly, SAARC countries came in Chaitra to 2,344 and in Baishakh to 1,813. In Chaitra, 13,924 Nepalis visited the park. In Baisakh, this number reached 18,046.
After Kartik, the highest number of Nepalis visited the park in Baisakh. The park office has stated that 19,109 Nepalis visited the park in Kartik. After that, it decreased and further decreased in Chaitra. The government has now decided to give two days off to the office on Saturday and Sunday. Tourism entrepreneurs have the experience that the holiday, which started to reduce fuel consumption, has had a positive impact on tourism.
Jitu Tamang, a tourism and hotel entrepreneur from Sauraha, says that the two-day holiday has had a positive effect on tourism. 'Earlier, when the holiday was only on Saturday, it was customary to visit on Friday and return on Saturday. We used to say that many guests would come on Friday. This time, people will come on Saturday instead of Friday,' said Tamang. He said that he used to return early on Saturday and Sunday. He said that the New Year will have an impact at the beginning of Baisakh. This time, there is no scorching heat due to the rain that falls every day. ‘Nepalese people come in large numbers, especially in the months of Asoj, Kartik, Mangsir and Poush. There are many foreigners in Magh, Falgun and Chaitra. In the past, there were fewer tourists from Baisakh to Bhadau than at other times,’ said Tamang, who is also a nature guide. This time, the number of Nepalis is good in Jestha too,’ he says.
Chitwan National Park is the country’s first national park. Chitwan is the country’s main destination for tourists who want to observe wildlife. The park is home to many animals such as the rare one-horned rhinoceros and the black-backed tiger. The culture of the indigenous Tharu, Bote, Kumal, and Darai people living in the park has also attracted tourists. Elephant safaris, jeep safaris in the forest, and walking and boat safaris are the main tourist activities here. The park has statistics that around three lakh tourists from all over the country and abroad visit the park every year.
