Nepal Tourism Board is organising a three-city road show to increase awareness and educate Indian travellers on tourism opportunities in Nepal.

India accounts for more than one-third of the total tourists arrival in Nepal, said Mr Rameswar Paudel, Consul-General, Nepal.

“In 2011, Nepal received more than 1.45 lakh tourists from India by air, which is 39.1 per cent higher as compared with that in 2010,” Mr Paudel said here on Wednesday.

The road show will target Guwahati, Kolkata and Bhubaneshwar.
