This concept is more relevant in the context of a country like Nepal which is made up of villages and diverse ethnic groups with typical and unique culture and traditional life styles. Apart from these, this village tourism is possible without building up any concrete infrastructures. So it is a meaningful position that can give a boost to the Nepalese tourism.
