The length of the zipline will be 500 meters. From the view towers to be built on both sides of the zipline, it will be possible to observe the mountain ranges including Mount Everest.
The construction of a zipline has begun for the first time in Nechasalyan Rural Municipality of Solukhumbu district, located on the world's highest peak, Mount Everest. The foundation stone of the zipline to be built at Gauritap in Nechasalyan-1 was jointly laid by former Tourism Minister Bal Bahadur K.C., Rural Municipality Chairman Dhanjan Rai, and Vice Chairman Bina Rai.
The length of the zipline to be built will be 500 meters. The view tower to be built on both sides along with the zipline will allow visitors to view the mountain ranges including Mount Everest. The view tower is said to have a seating capacity of 20-25 people. According to
Rural Municipality Chairman Dhanjan Rai, a rock climbing and a cycling spot about 45 meters long will also be built along with the zipline. A budget of Rs 8 million has been allocated for the construction of the zipline.
The responsibility for the construction work has been given to Kalika Nirman Sevaswa, based in Sindhupalchowk, and the company has stated that it is preparing to bring the zipline into operation soon.
Rural Municipality Vice-Chairman Bina Rai said that along with the development of tourism infrastructure, the construction of an alternative road connecting Nechasalyan to the district headquarters and the capital will be taken forward through Pattale. It is expected that once both the zipline and the road are operational, domestic tourism will increase and the economic income of the locals will increase.
Tankanath Ghimire, Chief Administrative Officer of the rural municipality, said that the construction of the zipline is one of the important programs of the current fiscal year.
