The Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP), Jomsom office, recently undertook several initiatives to enhance conservation and promote tourism development from 9 to 12 Kartik 2081 BS. These efforts focused on strengthening the management of the Annapurna Conservation Area, with key activities conducted as follows:
Monitoring of Potential Tourist Destinations and Alternative Trails: The ACAP team inspected various potential tourism spots and alternative trekking routes. This initiative aimed to identify new tourism opportunities and assess the viability of routes that could offer trekkers unique experiences in the Annapurna region.
Inspection of Fencing in Ghansa, Chhyo, and Jhipra Deurali: ACAP officials inspected and monitored the fences and boundaries established in Ghansa, Chhyo, and Jhipra Deurali areas. These inspections were conducted to ensure the integrity of these barriers, which play a crucial role in preserving local ecosystems and managing human-wildlife interactions.
Discussions and Meetings with Subcommittees: To further collaborative efforts, ACAP facilitated discussions and meetings with various subcommittees on multiple topics of interest. These meetings aimed at exchanging insights and gathering feedback on conservation strategies and community engagement, ensuring that local input plays a central role in ACAP’s initiatives.
These activities reflect ACAP’s commitment to sustainable tourism development and conservation in the Annapurna region, helping safeguard its natural resources while enhancing its appeal as a prime tourist destination.
