Basantpur Hill Transforms into Tourist Hub with Cable Car Operation

Butwal. The appearance of Basantpur Hill, known for clashes between the then CPN (Maoist) and the Nepali Army during the armed conflict, has now changed. With the operation of a cable car on Basantpur Hill in Tinau Rural Municipality-3, Palpa, investment has also started to flow in.

With the operation of Lumbini Cable Car on Basantpur Hill for the last four years, the hill has been becoming an important destination for scenic tourist attractions. Tourists who used to reach there after about a two-hour trek from Butwal market can now complete the journey in half an hour by cable car.
