November 19: A large number of tourists have filled the village of Chitre in Parbat district. Tourists love to stay in Chitre because of scenic view, organic food and local ambience.

The location can be reached after travelling 11 kilometers of black-topped road and walking 7 kilometers through the foot trails. “Chitre receives 1,200 to 1,500 internal as well as external tourists on a daily basis,” said Sushiladevi Gurung, president of Chitre Rural Tourism Homestay.

Locals say that they serve cuisines prepared from locally produced foods like local chicken, millet and maize. The operation of homestay in Chitre started in 2009. Currently, homestay is available in 15 houses of Chitre. Gurung said homestay arrangement can be made for 69 persons at a time in Chitre and the service will be expanded in the near future. 

Madhusudhan Adhikari, a teacher, said that the number of tourists grow when the climate is moderate in the area. Homestay operators say that the ratio of arrival of domestic tourists is greater than foreign tourists in Chitre.
