Kathmandu: Decrease in the arrival of Indian tourists has affected the hoteliers at Gaushala.

'This year very few Indians came to visit the Pashupatinath temple so our business has been badly affected,' said Firoz Alam proprietor of Sahara Hotel.

Alam said that four rooms were still unoccupied on Shivaratri. He said the Indian tourists might have feared the bandhs. — HNS
