‘Silver Triangle’ initiative launched to link Pokhara, Bharatpur and Lumbini

POKHARA: An initiative to develop a ‘Silver Triangle’ tourism circuit linking Pokhara, Bharatpur and Lumbini has been advanced to promote tourism, strengthen inter-city cooperation and attract more visitors to the three major destinations.

Pokhara Metropolitan City in Kaski, Bharatpur Metropolitan City in Chitwan, and Lumbini Sanskritik Municipality in Rupandehi are jointly working to turn the concept into a practical tourism promotion strategy. The initiative aims to facilitate the exchange of good practices, encourage collaboration and strengthen the tourism economies of the three destinations.

Bharatpur Metropolitan City organised an interaction programme on the ‘Silver Triangle’ on Monday to gather suggestions from stakeholders and develop future plans. Representatives of the three local governments, elected officials, administrators, private-sector leaders and tourism entrepreneurs expressed their commitment to expanding tourism cooperation.
