“The natural beauty of Nepal is so mesmerising. I am often spellbound by the beauty of Nepal,” he has been quoted in the statement, “Many foreign tourists have not been able to make Nepal their destinations in lack of proper facility of transportation and expensive airfare for the foreigners,” he said, urging the authorities concerned to pay attention to this issue.
