Tourist arrivals have gone up after an alternate road was constructed to Siddha Gufa (cave) at Bimalnagar in Bandipur VDC-6 of Tanahun. It is said to be the largest cave in Asia. The cave earlier reached in an hour from Bimalnagar near the Prithvi highway can be reached in 20 minutes now via the alternate road.
More than hundred tourists come daily, said Siddha Gufa Management Committee chairman Lalkaji Shrestha. Earlier, around 60 visitors used to come daily, he said. Indian, Japanese, Chinese, US and Swiss tourists and internal tourists from Gorkha, Pokhara, Kathmandu, Birgunj, and Dharan also come. The scenery around the cave is enchanting. Nepal Tourism Board constructed the one-km alternate road.
