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.

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.
