CHAPTER - ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Background of Study Area
Nepal is a small and beautiful country with snow-cold torrents and green
vistas. It is situated in southeastern part of Asia between two huge nations India and
China. It is a country of numerous and diverse villages having three different
ecological regions running from south to north namely Terai, Hill and Mountain.
Bhumlichok is a village development committee of Gorkha District in the
Gandaki Zone of northern-central Nepal with distance of about 95 Km on the way
to Prithvi Highway from Kathmandu, than need to walk about 3 to 4 hours to get in
Bhumlichok. At the time of the 2011 Nepal census it had a population of 3,545 and
had 685 houses in the town. The geographical location of the study area is situated
in approximately latitude of 84.696171 and longitude of 27.846639 in Bhumlichok
VDC of Gorkha District. The study area is located at the altitude of 287m Fishling
at Trishuli River to 1652m elevation at Bhairabi Tar (Pokharai Tar) from the sea
level.
Bhumlichok has diverse culture and religion. Magar are the main inhabitants of
this VDC and Chepang/Praja, Gurung, Newar, Chhetri are also being a part of this
area. So, the area posses varied culture or it can be said that the area is culturally
rich which is also one of the most imperative feature of rural tourism. The existing
culture in Bhumlichok as a product, the people of Bhumlichok can promote them
for tourists international as well as domestic. The temple of Bhairabi, Bhairabi Tar,
Dudh Pokhari are the cultural and historical attraction in Bhumlichok. Like in other
part of the country, Dashain, Tihar, Teej, Mage Sankranti, Janai Purnima, Loshar
celebrate with great rejoice and pleasure. Similarly, other religious festivals such as
Buddha Purima (Chandipurnuma), Bhairavithan Mela etc. are celebrated and
enjoyed. According to the filed visit survey among 80 houses in ward no: 4 and 5,
25 houses have basic fundamental of Home Stay facilities.

1.1.1 Statement of the Problem
Nepal is known as the house of poverty. Millions of Nepali youth are spreading
all over the world in search of job although they have to face the undesirable death
in various countries. So Nepal has a great challenge to increase economic activities
to create new job opportunities to address the unemployment problem of rapid
population growth. More than 85% Nepali are in rural areas and almost of them are
engaged in subsistence agriculture where agriculture itself known as source of
many kinds of unemployment. Agriculture is a traditional job and new generation is
not interested in such boring job. At that context tourism can be the good path of
economic generation for sustainable development.
Bhumlichok has wide prospects for the development of tourism. Being an old
and historical place but equally reflects beautiful mountain scenery, amazing
landscape and nature charming.
The underdeveloped infrastructure has been the major constrains in the overall
development of tourism in Nepal. The mountainous and difficult terrain of Nepal
has limited the process of infrastructure development necessary for the rapid
development of pro-poor tourism. Similarly, marketing of such products by the
private sectors has also gained the necessary momentum so far. Lack of awareness
on tourism in the new potential areas is a major constrains for tourism
development. Awareness among not only the general public but to the principle
stakeholders are required for the sustainability of tourism development endeavors.
1.1.2 Objectives of the study
The general objectives of the study focused on the Bhumlichok Bhairabi Home
Stay Trip which covers a broad area of activities. These activities includes
sustainable eco-tourism, community based tourism or village tourism and many
more giving a name as a responsible tourism.
The specific objectives are
Probability of Home Stay Trip in Bhumlichok.
To assess the present situation of tourism in the study area.
4
To assess the socio-religious significance of the study area.
To inquire into the various problems and hindrances encountered for the
development of tourism and its promotion.
To recommend measures and strategies to develop the tourism industry.
To promote the new village destinations.
1.1.3 Limitation of the Study
Every social research is bounded with the limitations. Time and money are the
main constraints of research work. It is on welfare research for the requirements of
the Nepal Magar Tourism Society to explore hidden Magar’s Villages as most
probability in tourism industries. As the fresh researcher many hardships have been
faced in the study. A micro-level study has been done in the touristic area
Bhumlichok of Gorkha District. Despite, the various difficulties the touristic site
Bhumlichok has been viewed a "holistic approach" and its activities can be
understood by an "interdisciplinary approach". However, the study is not free from
its limitations, which can be shown in terms of some following points:
(1) This study is based on the specific area of Bhumlichok, therefore
generalization may or may not be equally applicable on the other rural and
urban area of Nepal.
(2) This is a welfare work, as the researcher is a student who does not have
previous research experience like this, thus there could be many
shortcomings.
(3) The study is conducted within the given time frame and financial limitations.
(4) This study is only confined to touristic site of Bhumlichok VDC of Gorkha
district. So, the findings of may be equally applicable in all of other village
tourism development of different parts of Nepal.
(5) Primarily, this study is focused on determining the physical characteristics,
Probability of Home Stay Trip for sustainable eco-tourism with it main
Prospects and Problems.
5
Though, the study was very specific like case study in an around Bhumlichok,
So the conclusions drawn from this study was more indicative rather than
conclusive. The conclusions might not be generalized for the whole. But, the
inferences might be valid to some extent to those areas, which have similar
geographic and environmental settings.
1.1.4 Significance of Home Stay Trip in Bhumlichok
Following features are contributed to attract the tourist at Bhumlichok Bhairabi
Home Stay.
Amazing mountain scenery can be seen from Bhumlichok, west Dhaulagiri
to east Gaurishanker, including Mt. Manaslu Himal range, Ghanesh Himal,
Langtang Himal range many more.
Potpourri (Mix) of culture, tradition and ethnic groups, historical and
religious places Pokhari Tar and Bhairabi Temple.
Could be international or regional airport, after complete Bhudhi Gandaki
Megha Hydro Power Project.
Best place for the Paragliding (from Okhal Danda and Thaal Danda) were
successfully conducted Paragliding during the rafting expedition organize in
previous years.
Could be best place to observe wild animal like; dear, Ghoral, Leopard,
birds etc. after conserve the jungle.
This has been popular picnic spot and foot ball tournament or any game.
Probability for the Cricket and Gulf.
After complete Bhudhi Gandaki Megha Hydro Power Project, Bhumlichok
Bhairabi Tar would be one of the most touristic places for any tourist
BGHPDC (2071/72-2).
Ergo-tourism would be another probability for Bhumlichok, to have organic
meals and participate for farming yourself.

CHAPTER –TWO
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
Despite the short history of modern tourism in Nepal as compared to other
Asian countries, there are different kinds of profound literature available on
tourism, tourism activities related to Nepal. So, literature review is an important
aspect, which guides the new researcher and also it helps gain insights on particular
research issues, which assists in formulating the research problems and
acknowledging the previous efforts made scholars and researchers. It can be a
strong bridge between the previous and present efforts to carry out the fundamental
assumption without which a research work never can be original. So, in this chapter
on attempt has been made to provide the theoretical foundation of tourism. In
dealing with theoretical foundations some books, studies magazines, reports,
regulations, and dissertations that the directly and indirectly relevant to proposed
study have been reviewed.
2.2 Concept of Tourism
Tourism is an ancient phenomenon and an inherent nomadic urge in man. From
the very earliest historical period, travel has remained a fascination to man. In
ancient time pilgrims, traders, explorers, adventurer and some scholars had
undertaken journey in order to fulfill their respective requirements and needs. The
progress of tourism development is related with human evolution. To search for
basic needs of life, food, cloth and shelter, human beings used to move from one
place to another. Travelling in those times was difficult because of severe
constraint of well equipped transport, lack of safety and comforts. Gradually, when
permanent settlement started, different religions and trade emerged which
motivated people to travel different places.
The word tour is derived from Latin "torn are" and Greek "torsos" meaning a
lathe or circle, the movement around a central or axis. This meaning changed in
modern English to represent ones turn. The suffix-ist denotes one that performs a
12
given action. When the word tour and suffixes - ism and -ist are combined, they
suggest the action of movement around a circle. One can argue that a circle
represents a starting point which ultimately returns back to its beginning.
Therefore, like a circle, a tour represents a journey that it is a round trip i.e. the act
of leaving and then returning to the original starting point, and therefore, one who
takes such a journey can be called a tourist.
In Sanskrit literature, we find three defined for tourism derived from the root,
which means leaving home for some time to other places. According to Negi
(1990:23) the three terms are:-
Paryatana : It means going out fox pleasure and knowledge.
Desatana : It means going out of the country primarily for economic
gains.
Tirthatana : It means going out to places of religious.
According to rebels - bus curtain tourism involves travelling to relatively
undisturbed natural areas with the objectives of admiring, studying and enjoying
the scenery, its wild plants and animals as well as cultural features found there
(Lascurain, 1991, pp 24-31).
According to Figgis, travel to remote of natural areas aims to enhance
understanding and appreciation of the natural environment and cultural heritage
while according damage or deterioration of the experiences for others (Penelope,
1992).
Suresh Kumar Shrestha in his study defines that those individuals who are
motivated to travel make the entire picture of tourism hence the perception of
tourist play roles in the marketing development of a tourist area and indicates that
the demand of that area would increase (Shrestha, S.K., 1993).

CHAPTER – THREE
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 Research Design
For the fulfillment of the study, I used exploratory and case study research
design because the study was focused on to investigate the impact of tourism
activities on Probability of Some Stay Trip. Thus, this study was both descriptive
and exploratory.
3.2 Rationale for the Selection of the Study Site
Being a major touristic site in Bhumlichok, the tourism activities are
continuous in and around the Bhumlichok VDC due to its natural beauty, cultural
heritage and hospitality of the people. Skilled manpower for tourist guide is another
aspect of tourism industry. Being services oriented and labor-intensive industry,
tourism needs skilled and professional manpower for quality services. Skilled
manpower such as tourist guides and their hospitality is a precondition for quality
tourism.
3.3 Sampling Procedure
Both types of sampling were used for the selection of sample. Under non-
probability sampling, the quota sampling was used to select the samples from local
people, Home stay owners and tourist. Under the probability sampling simple
random sampling was used to select the intended number of samples 80,
respondents. In this study, 30 local people, 35 tourist & 15 flower seller were select
for the interview, questionnaire & focus group discussion.
3.4 Natures and Source of Data
3.4.1 Primary Data
This study was mainly based on primary data. Primary data collected by using
different data collection techniques such as structure and semi structure
questionnaire, key informant interview, observation and focus group discussion etc.
14
3.4.2 Secondary data
Secondary data was collected from different tourism concern agencies and
organizations were visited such as tourist service center Bhumlichok, Nepal
Tourism Board, WWF, TAAN, ACAP, KEEP, CBS, world Bank and various
reports, Journals, relates articles, previous published and unpublished researches,
etc.
3.5 Tools and Technique of Data Collection
For the primary data, structured and semi structured questionnaire were used
in the field; in cases of illiterate respondent, researcher himself have noted down
whatever the respondent responses. The other tools were used for the primary data
collation mainly for key informant interview, field observation and focus group
discussion
3.5.1 Questionnaire Survey
Structured questionnaire was prepared to generate the realistic and actual data from
households' survey, home stay owner and tourists. The respondents were asked to
fill up the questionnaire by themselves.
3.5.2 Key Informant on Interview
The primary data was collected from key informants using the semi or
unstructured interview methods. The interview have been taken a cross checking
for data obtained from questionnaire. The informants were interviewed on the
impact of tourism on environment, sanitation, vegetation, socio-culture impact etc.
3.5.3 Field Visit and Observation
The field visits of the study area have done based on the non-participatory
observation, which helps to enrich the qualitative and quantitative data collection.
In this researcher observed the daily life of people by watching and listening to
their conversation. This was done during interviewing people, talking with them,
during walking along the route and traveling in the bus. This was done to know the
actual condition of respondents, the condition of landscape, kind of flora and fauna,
15
awareness of people, roads, income from tourism, economic status of the local
people condition of tourism, socio-cultural impact of tourism etc.
3.5.4 Focus Group Discussion
The focus group discussion was held in separate group with the participation of
women and men. The discussion was focused more on women and poor group
members who were not benefited well from tourism but affected from the
degradation of surrounding environment.
3.6 Data Analysis
The quantitative data obtained from questionnaires were analyzed using
statistical tools. The collected qualitative information is presented in descriptive
way. The various information, obtained is presented in appropriate tables and
figures. They are categorized and tabulated according to the objective of the
research.
CHAPTER - FOUR
JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY
Tourism is important source to collect revenue for both national and local
levels. The first appearance of tourism in the world had a cultural motivation and
tourism has always stood as a unique vehicle for cultural prorogation that is
necessary to a deeper understanding of people (Bhatia, A.K. 2004:459).
This study will provide information and general guidelines to the local people,
planner, tourism and other concerned agencies about way of the sustainable tourism
development for the Home Stay Trip without changing social and cultural norms
and values of the people. The study shows rural tourism is a batter activity to the
tourist and they take satisfaction and pleasure through observation local traditional
way of life and hosing pattern, fairs and festival, custom and ritual and religion and
beliefs and natural scenery. This is a research work which will have the following
justifications.
16
This study highlights the social and cultural activities and life pattern and
style of the local people in the study area.
People will get aware to preserve their social and cultural norms and
behavior as well as traditional culture.
This study will try to give the way to develop sustainable village tourism in
virgin area by Home Stay Trip, and this study will try to explore the major
problem and Prospects help to promote a fair socio-cultural environment.
