Grant provided to 14 home-stays in Lamjung
LAMJUNG: Gandaki Province government has provided grants to 14 home-stays in the local villages of Lamjung district.
The provincial Ministry of Industry, Tourism, Forests and Environment in collaboration with the local levels had called for the grant last year for the promotion of home-stays in the district.
According to Prabhat Sapkota, Head of Division Forest Office, Lamjung, as many as 14 home-stays received the grant out of 29 in Lamjung. He said that the remaining home-stays did not receive the grant amount as they didn't fulfil the standards mentioned in Home Stay Working Procedures, 2075.
Three home-stays from Besisahar Municipality, three from Sundar Bazaar Municipality, two from Rainas Municipality, two from Marsyangdi Rural Municipality and four from Kwaholasothar Rural Municipality will be receiving the grant.
Each homestay will receive a grant equivalent to Rs 1 million.
