Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) and the Tourism for Rural Poverty Alleviation Project (TRPAP) are organising the Langtang Festival from 12-18 November to promote tourism in Rasuwa district. The weeklong event aims to promote the Langtang region as a safe tourism destination and will include activities such as an Ekadashi fair, sale and exhibition of various local products, cultural programs, hot spring baths, trekking, home-stays with local families, lodging at a traditional Tamang community lodge, horse riding, archery, tours of an underground hydropower station and of the Himalayan Spring Water Centre. The festival is being held as tourist arrivals continue to grow. The number of visitors arriving in Nepal by air increased 15 percent in October over the same month last year, according to the NTB. Fuelling the hike was a 58 percent jump in Indian tourists. September's figures showed a 47 percent increase in visitors over the same month in 2004.
