The Ainapahara waterfall, situated in Abu Khaireni rural municipality-2 of Tanahun district, has been steadily gaining popularity among domestic tourists. While it was previously poorly managed, efforts are now underway to transform it into a thriving tourist destination. The local representatives are diligently working towards the goal of making Ainapahara waterfall a preferred resting spot for tourists.
To enhance the appeal of Ainapahara, artistic statues and structures are being crafted on the natural rocks and stones found in the area. Notably, Abu Khaireni rural municipality has commenced the creation of sculptures depicting a mother and son on the rocks, contributing to the increased influx of tourists.
A local resident named Bijay Gurung expressed optimism about the development of Ainapahara as a tourism destination, primarily due to its proximity to Prithvi Highway. Shukra Chuman, the Chairperson of Abu Khaireni rural municipality, pointed out that Ainapahara has been attracting a growing number of tourists, thanks to the sharing of photos and videos of the place on social media platforms.
In the last fiscal year, a total of Rs 14 million was allocated for the construction of Ainapahara Park. Chuman emphasized their commitment to making Ainapahara one of the premier tourism sites in Gandaki Province, not just Tanahu. Various initiatives are currently underway to enhance the attractiveness of Ainapahara.
The rural municipality has also put forth a plan to construct a sky-cycling facility and a glass walk bridge at the site. Additionally, a detailed master plan has been prepared to ensure the systematic development of Ainapahara waterfall.
