The number of domestic tourists has increased after the construction of a suspension bridge on the Karnali River in Daulatpur, connecting Tikapur Municipality of Kailali and Rajapur Municipality of Bardiya.
After the bridge was completed and traffic was resumed just a few days ago, the number of domestic tourists who come to observe the beauty of the Karnali River and the surrounding fields and to beat the heat has increased. 'It is hot, we go to observe the bridge in the evening to cool off,' said Kiran Chaudhary of Tikapur-5, 'There is a greater number of visitors here than expected.'
After the construction of the bridge, not only for domestic tourists, but also the distance between Tikapur in Kailali and Rajapur in Bardiya has come closer. After the construction of the bridge, the distance of about 24 kilometers has been reduced to 15 km, and the obligation to travel by boat has been eliminated forever.
'In addition to connecting the tourism potential of the two districts, it has made it easier for local citizens to travel,' says local Prem Prasad Bhandari, 'The number of domestic tourists is also expected to increase in Tikapur Park, which is located near the bridge. This is expected to promote tourism and increase the income of locals.'
Thani Construction Services, which was given time until Asad 11, 2084, has stated that it has completed the work in one year. Company Manager Bikram Basnet said, 'The bridge has been completed and traffic has been started, and now preparations are underway for its handover.'
The bridge, built at a cost of about 157.395 million rupees, is 482 meters long, according to company manager Basnet.
'Not only for the ease of travel, but the bridge built on the Karnali River has the potential to become a tourist attraction,' said local Sundar Lal Tharu, 'In that case, other commercial activities can increase and the income of locals can increase.'
Similarly, two bridges have been completed on the Karnali River. A concrete bridge over the Karnali River at Sankatti, which connects Tikapur Municipality to Geruwa Rural Municipality in Bardiya, has also been completed and traffic has begun.
