Sustainable Tourism and Green Growth for Heritage Settlements of Kathmandu Valley

The Challenge

Kathmandu Valley has been experiencing unprecedented urban growth in the past several decades. This has greatly threatened traditional settlements. The devastating earthquake of 2015 has further caused extensive damage. This project has been designed to revitalise the settlements in the Kathmandu Valley, more specifically those of Bungamati and Pilachhen in Lalitpur Metropolitan City, through heritage conservation, green growth and creating livelihood opportunities through the tourism industry.

The Objectives

The overall objective of this project is to promote Sustainable Tourism and Green Growth in Heritage Settlements of Kathmandu Valley. More specifically, the project aims to promote sustainable consumption and production (SCP) with heritage tourism sector stakeholders through demonstration in the Bungamati and policy advice, dialogue and advocacy at Kathmandu Valley level. It also aims to develop and implement in Bungamati and Pilachhen, tools for green growth with a focus on sustainable rebuilding, entrepreneurship among women and youth, SME engagement and investment, product innovation and sector campaigns.

The Way Forward

  • Heritage Settlement Recovery Plan of Bungamati;
  • Private Building Reconstruction;
