From the dense forest in Thaple of Satyawati Rural Municipality to the structures built in Bharse, they have become centers of tourist attraction. The area around Thaple, the highest point in the former Lumbini region, is worth visiting because it has Budhi Satyawati, Hile Siddha Baba, Hachingkot Durbar, Magar Museum, Barahi Lake, and Buddhist Stupa, which are also worth visiting, says Niramaya Taramu, vice-chairwoman of the rural municipality.

‘Due to geographical remoteness, people used to come to Satyawati and Bharse areas, which used to be difficult to come even for essential work, but now people come to visit them,’ said Vice-chairwoman Taramu. ‘The number of people who visit the Budhi Satyawati area and Bharse area and stay at Raniban ‘Homestay’ guesthouses is increasing day by day.’ Satyawati is one of the 100 tourist destinations listed by the Nepal Tourism Board. Religious tourists come to see the Shaligram on the banks of Kaligandaki in Ward No. 1 and to visit the Ram Temple in Rudrabeni, where millions of Shaligrams are seen at once.’

In the old Magar settlement of Satyawati-8, Bharse, tourists come to see the attractive settlement of British and Indian Lahures, the Buddhist stupa of Deurali, the view tower of Dabung, Kalika Temple, Chhatra Temple, caves, Gorkha Gallery (Museum), the royal palace of Bhure Takure Raja Jhuleni, Arkul Durbar area, agarwood farming, kiwi farming and orange farming farms, tunnels excavated from old copper mines, and to study and research the World War and mining, said Ward Chairman Hom Bahadur Rana.

Locals have been operating homestays since 2075 BS targeting those who come to visit and study. Homestay Chairman Gangamaya Darlami said that there has been a surge in tourists staying at homestays in recent years. ‘In winter, about 10-15 people come every day, and less in the rainy season,’ said Darlami. ‘Last Dashain and Tihar, there was a flood of guests.’

She says that people from Gulmi, Palpa, Rupandehi, Baglung, Parbat, Kathmandu and other places come to the homestay run by the Magar community. Darlami says that the homestay, which serves local chicken and goat, goat meat, Koda’s dhindo, sisno, Banke’s sinki, black bhatta, corn and phapar roti, also shows songs and dances of Salaijo, Sorathi, Krishna Charitra and Thado Bhaka. _{Ranivan Homestay Guesthouse is located in Bharse, Satyawati Rural Municipality, Gulmi.}

Although Ruru and Resunga are old destinations for religious tourism, Satyawati and Dhurkot areas, which have been developed as tourist areas worth visiting with the active participation of the local level after federalization, have become new tourist destinations in Gulmi.

The rural areas of Malika and Madane rural municipalities, which are considered geographically remote, have also become destinations for domestic tourists to visit. Malika Peace Park, located in the Arkhabang area of ​​Malika rural municipality, is a model park in the district, where an attractive park has been built without compromising the natural steep and rugged geographical structure. _{Resunga Park, Gulmi.}
