According to Galkot Ghumte Tourism Development Center Chairman Jhang Bahadur Basnet, thousands of tourists visit Ghumte every year. In the past, the fair was held only on the full moon of Baisakh. For the past six years, Gurans Utsav has been held on the occasion of the New Year. According to Chairman Basnet, tourist arrivals have also increased due to tourism promotion activities. “The number of tourists is increasing due to infrastructure works including footpaths and publicity,” he said.
The temples of Siddha and Bhairav, situated at the head of a scenic dome, have also promoted religious tourism. Devotees from far and wide visit these temples, which are associated with mythological legends, in the belief that their desires will be fulfilled. There is an arrangement to visit the temple during all the months and days of worship. Ghumte has also become an attractive destination for tourists who enjoy hiking. Manish Rayamajhi, a resident of Baglung district headquarters, said that it was an exciting experience.
