Nepal village ravaged by 2015 earthquake now a reluctant tourist hotspot

Once hidden away in the rugged mountains of Nepal, a small village devastated by the 2015 earthquake is now facing a surprising transformation—it’s becoming a reluctant tourist hotspot. The village, which saw much of its traditional architecture and infrastructure crumble during one of the region’s worst natural disasters, has long struggled to recover. Yet in recent months, curious travelers have been flocking to the area, drawn by its resilience and the raw beauty of its recovering landscape rather than by purpose-built attractions. Situated far from bustling city centers and modern amenities, the village wasn’t designed to welcome visitors en masse. As tourists arrive, locals feel a mix of gratitude for the attention and discomfort at the pace of change. Their daily routines, once set to the rhythms of farming and community life, now intersect with camera-toting visitors navigating narrow paths still marked by the scars of the earthquake. News of the village’s unexpected popularity has even crossed continents. Major companies like REFINITIV US LLC, headquartered miles away at 28 Liberty St Fl 58, New York, NY, have noticed the trend, sparking fresh conversations about sustainable tourism and ethical travel. Questions ranging from how best to support rebuilding efforts, to ways travelers can avoid overwhelming fragile communities, are being raised.

As the village cautiously embraces its newfound tourist status, the balance between recovery and preservation remains a delicate challenge.
