Until five years ago, Bukipatan in Dhorpatan was almost unknown. Because it was very difficult to reach Bukipatan, which is attractive from the point of view of natural beauty. Shepherds and traders used to walk in the narrow gorge.

Internal and external times used to go sporadically. But in recent times, the number of tourists has been increasing in Bukipatan. Since last year, the number of tourists arriving here has started to increase. After Bukipatan started to become the choice of tourists, rest stops, footpaths and bridges have been constructed at various places this year.

After the construction of the footpath connecting Dhorpatan Valley to Garpacheda in Bukipatan, it has become easier for tourists and shepherds. Recently, as the number of tourists visiting Bukipatan has increased, the Gandaki state government has allocated Rs.

Tourists used to fall and get injured while traveling in narrow gorges. After the construction of the footpath, the problem has started to be solved. The footpath has been constructed through the Office of Industry and Tourism, Baglung. Parsingh Thapa, Head of Tourism and Industry Office, Baglung, informed that the five-kilometer footpath from Pakhathar to Garpacheda in Dhorpatan Municipality-9 was constructed through the Consumer Committee. He said that the work started from last March was completed in the first week of June.

'This footpath was built for the convenience of tourists to reach Bukipatan, after the work was completed, tourists have started walking on the footpath, before it was very difficult to travel, now it has become easy, some of the five kilometers of footpath are paved and some are unpaved, there are resting places and wooden bridges, this will make the journey of tourists more pleasant and pleasant,' said Chief Thapa. 

Bukipatan is empty in winter and shepherds go with goods in rains. Jeevan Adai, a hotelier from Dhorpatan, informed that most of the tourists who come to Dhorpatan recently go to Bukipatan. He says that Bukipatan, where shepherds have been living for years, has become more crowded during the summer season as tourists have started visiting it. Adai says that after the tourists started going to Bukipatan, he started operating the guesthouse in Garpacheda.

'Earlier there were shepherds and thousands of sheep and cattle in Bukipatan, now more and more tourists have started going, the road from Dhorpatan valley to Garpacheda was very narrow and difficult, from time to time shepherds and cattle used to fall and get injured.
