The number of tourists of Indian origin is increasing in the Kalinchowk Dolakha area, which is being developed as a tourist destination for playing snow. Dawa Lama, a tourism entrepreneur, said that the number of tourists of Terai and Indian origin is increasing in the Kalinchok area due to the easy road connection with the capital Kathmandu and the Terai.
Due to its short distance from the Terai and its proximity to Kathmandu, thousands of domestic tourists visit the Kalinchowk Dolakha area daily from the capital alone. Tourists say that they reach Kalinchok in the scenic area of Dolakha in the Himalayan district to visit Kalinchok Bhagwati and play in the snow.

He said that all the hotels have been booked for a week. Even though all the hotels were booked, the vehicles could not reach Kuri from below 5 km due to heavy snowfall. Even the hotels in Charikot are overcrowded due to the snow making it difficult to reach Kuri. Sonam Sherpa, a local hotelier, said that drinking water was the biggest problem in Kalinchowk Dolakha after the snowfall. He also said that arrangements have been made by bringing water from the tanker.
After reaching Charikot by road traffic of 133 km from the capital Kathmandu, Kalinchowk Dolakha can be reached by crossing a distance of 17 km. Indian tourists come to Dolakha for religious beliefs and to play in the snow.
