Spread over an area of \u200b\u200babout 13 ropanis,\u00a0 Dhunga is becoming a center of attraction for tourists visiting the mountain.<\/p>\n In the past, due to lack of publicity, this stone was not much talked about. Mahashila Dhunga can be reached after a one and a half hour road journey from the mountain headquarters Kushma. Even though the facilities of the road have been reached, the tourists have not been able to reach there. But now, on the initiative of the village municipality, road maintenance, construction of idols of goddesses and homestay have been conducted.<\/p>\n Similarly, a ‘Mahashila Tourism Development Committee’ has been formed to identify Mahashila Dhunga as a tourist destination. The Gandaki state government has also allocated Rs. 820 million for the construction of infrastructure . Besides, the Gandaki state government has allocated Rs. 5 million for the construction of water taps and construction of 108 taps has been completed as per the same plan.<\/p>\n
