Earlier on Friday, a group of young trekkers from Korea, who are setting out for trekking in Mustang within few days, were given information about Nepal and other youth participants were encouraged to experience different Nature and culture based activities in Nepal, a statement issued by the NTB said.

Speaking on the occasion, Neupane encouraged youths to travel to Nepal to discover activities be they mountain based, or jungle based or water based or air based.

The Nepali delegates also visited a historic sport school cum museum named after Grand Slam (14+7+2) record holding mountaineer, Park Young-Seok who lost his life at Mt. Annapurna while making a new trail by himself to the top of the peak. Park set a new record of summiting all 14 eight thousanders, tallest peak from each continent and North and South poles. The visit was organized upon the invitation of Park's spouse who was very delighted to meet the Nepali delegation.

The museum is designed architecturally to look like Mt. Annapurna as a collection of mountaineering gears Park used and extensive pictures and videos that highlight Nepal at the most profound way. Park's widow who runs the museum with wide support from government, different organizations and people of Korea showed her attachment to Nepal and expressed her efforts to promote Nepal through all possible means she and her whole team had.
