| EDUCATIONAL
TOUR/ TREKS Treks are designed
for school parties and educationalists, who are
interested to get the first hand information about
Nepal's educational system. The tours could be an
excellent opportunity for the students and scholars
to visit schools and colleges in various parts of
the country (both urban and rural areas), to meet
students and their teachers and share ideas and
experiences. Besides, they can see what type of
teaching tools and methods are being applied in
different parts of the country. The treks are organised
to enhance harmony and understanding between the
students from ethnic and linguistic backgrounds.
Therefore, this will help establish social and communal
harmony and understanidng anong the different groups.
WHY THE EDUCATIONAL
TOUR Education is the process
of developing the mind through different methods.
In other words, it makes the children of today the
most responsible and capable citizens of tomorrow.
For theoretical and practical experience both training
and knowledge is needed. The city students, with
sufficient theoretical knowledge are being deprived
of first hand practical experience of real Nepalese
life, culture, religion and society. They are forgetting
the reality of themselves as well as of their motherland.
They are deprived of the knowledge of how their
forefathers used to live in the villages, and the
hard lives they had to lead. Therefore, the students
need to visit the remote village areas and schools
to observe true life and culture at first hand.

Village Tourism |
Almost all of the
villages of Nepal are a rich store of cultural
property. The villages of Nepal are rich in
themselves, in terms of giving their unique
and typical identities. There are some of the
villages in Nepal, which can give unique experience
for both the domestic and foreign tourists,
which can’t be found elsewhere in the
world. On the other hand, the tourists of advanced
and modern cities can obtain the experience
of the rich and prosperous culture, which they
had lost in their history and can get it again
no more. They can concretize their knowledge
from the history in the reality of their life.
In this regard, Sirubari village of Syangja
District is a world-famous example. The tourists
of the world are attracted very much with the
honesty, politeness and friendly behavior of
the rural people. The cultural activities of
the typical Magar village, Sirubari, while welcoming
the tourists and departing them are really heart
touching.
Ghalegaun, the village of Ghales in Lamjung
district, which has recently celebrated the
’Ghale Gaun Festival’ to propagate
and promote the ‘Village Tourism’,
has been popular as the successful model village
for village tourism. This is completely peaceful
and pollution free village. It is very rich
in live Gurung culture with their frank and
amicable behavior. |
