Ilampokhari transforming into a tourist destination with conservation

Ilampokhari, a historic and religious site in Lamjung, is being developed as a tourist destination with conservation efforts.

The site, which includes the Satakanya Devi Temple, has been restored and is now open to visitors. The temple was damaged in the 2015 earthquake and has been rebuilt using traditional methods and materials.

The restoration work was carried out by the local government and the community, with support from the provincial government. The site has been developed as a tourist destination, with facilities such as a park, parking, and a viewing platform.

The site is located at an altitude of 2,260 meters and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Visitors can also see the sunrise and sunset from the site, which is a popular spot for photographers.

The development of Ilampokhari as a tourist destination is part of the provincial government’s efforts to promote tourism in the region. The government has also allocated funds for the development of other tourist sites in Lamjung, including the Dordi River and the Memepokhari Lake.

The local community is involved in the management and maintenance of the site, and visitors are encouraged to respect the local culture and environment.
