Nepal Fair kicks off in London A two-day 'Nepal Fair 2008' kicked off in London showcasing investment opportunities in Nepal. Addressing the inauguration ceremony organised at the Limkokwing University at Piccadilly in London on Sunday, Minister of Tourism and Civil Aviation, Mrs Hisila Yami, said Nepal was passing through a spectacular phase of transformation from 'feudalism to national industrialisation.' She said Nepal had decided to observe the period 2008-2018 as a 'Decade of Economic Revolution.' She said the government was working on to amend legislations related to foreign direct investment so as to facilitate foreign investment in the country. She said the government was also going to enact legislation to set up Special Economic Zones in different parts of the country.

This is one of the famaous and the easiest trek in Nepal and has few uphill climbs of any significance. Trekking westwards there are many alternatives. A northern route presents a trek close to the mountains Manasalu (7945m.), Himalchuli, Baudha (6674m.) and a side trip to Bara Pokhari, a fine high altitude lake. The more direct southern route to Pokhara allows a visit to the ancient town of Gorkha with its large bazaar and fort. This route has the attraction of lower altitudes and avoids the extreme elevation gains/losses common to other treks in Nepal.
Gorkha Durbar
The views of the Himalaya are good on this trek, but you never actually gets into the high mountains. A lot of the interest and remoteness of this trek has vanished because the new road to Gorkha has totally changed the trading habits and culture of the region. Local people hardly ever walk this route now, so the facilities for food and accommodation have degenerated. A few westerners travel the southern routes, but many parts of the northern regions are booth remote and untrammelled by trekers.
It is no doubt that Gorkha is the homeland of the famous Gurkha warriors, renowned worldwide for their courage and loyalty. This trek introduces you to Nepalese life in the central mountain area as you visit scores of villages clinging to terraced mountain slopes. The rugged landscape is divided by a multitude of high ridges and deep river valleys providing breathtaking views at every turn and ridge top. This trek offers you visit of Begnas and Rupa lakes near Pokhara. The trek begins with a scenic six hours drive to Gorkha and ends at Pokhara from where a drive back to Kathmandu offers you more opportunity to view the lush green valleys and hillsides of Nepal.
