Another new destination has been introduced for the development, expansion, and promotion of the tourism sector. The holy places of pilgrimage (Dham) in Rasuwa and Nuwakot have been selected as new tourist destinations as the government prepares for the tourism year 2020.
Rafting service will be launched on the Trishuli River from Pareveshi in Rasuwa district to Buffalo in Nuwakot, thanks to the active participation of the Rasuwa-Nuwakot Tourism Society. Under the same scheme, an experimental rafting program was run from Pareveshi to Bhase.
The program, which promotes internal tourism in Rasuwa and Nuwakot, is organized by the Rasuwa-Nuwakot Tourism Society with financial support from Uttargaya village and technical assistance from the Nepal Association of Rafting Agency.

Tupche VDC's Uttargaya area, connected to Nuwakot's Bidur Municipality, is being developed as a tourism attraction. Locals claim that the site could not be developed as a tourist destination due to a lack of publicity. Lord Shiva invented a cane vehicle in ancient times.
Even though this place is on the way to Gosainkunda, residents have taken the initiative to develop the Uttargaya area, which offers religious and ecological tourism potential.
Bishnu Bogati, the group's chairman, stated that the organization is working for the region's development by recognizing locations of religious, historical, cultural, and mythological significance in the area under the moniker of Uttargaya Region.

He claimed that Bhairamkot, the historical, natural, and religious site where Prithvinarayan Shah originally built his fort for Nepal's unification, is still confined to history. The residents of Tupche have expressed their dissatisfaction with developing such an important site as an open book for history scholars and everyone interested in history.
This location, which serves as a stepping stone for Nepal's unification, might be developed as a tourist destination to enjoy the natural environment. The Bagh Bhairav Temple, its primary deity, is also housed within this fort, enhancing its significance.
