- The development and growth of nature-based ecotourism is one of the project’s strategies to strengthen river-based economic opportunities, thus promoting co-benefits for aquatic biodiversity conservation. Paani secured the support of two international ecotourism specialists to map a strategy and action plan for specific sites in the Karnali River Basin, as well as provide more granular information on the potential value of the tourism sector across key sites, and investments needed to realize the value identified by previous assessments. For the purpose of this report, the term Karnali River Basin (KRB) encompasses a region defined as a tourism circuit with Bardiya National Park at its southernmost limit, Rara National Park at its center, and two linear routes: one to the west towards Simikot and further towards Mount Kailash in China, and one to the east towards Dolpo and the Shey Phoksundo National Park.
