In a first of its kind in the country, an aircraft museum has been completed in Dhanghadi.. The operator claims it will be the world’s first miniature aircraft museum in a jet aircraft.

An 11-day aircraft museum expo has also been announced from Sept 17 that will showcase photos of 30 famous tourist destinations across the world, including items of historic and archaeological importance collected from the Far-west region of Nepal. The operator said at a programme here on Saturday the expo will also provide visitors a chance to observe how communication is made between the pilot and air traffic controller inside the cockpit.

Unlike open space aviation museums that display numerous aircraft, this museum is inside a 100-seater Fokker aircraft that once belonged to now-defunct Cosmic Air. The jet is 35.53m long and 8.50m tall. Its cabin is 3.10m wide and 2.01m tall. “The museum will display 200 miniature aircraft models or designs of aircraft, including Wright brothers’ aeroplane of 1903 and modern aircraft,” said Captain Bed Upreti, promoter of the museum. A 60-inch TV inside the aircraft will showcase documentaries on the aircraft museum. Upreti, who served as a commercial pilot for Necon Air and India’s Kingfisher Airlines, said the project was completed at a cost of Rs 12.5 million and it took almost six months to complete. “The museum will provide information on flying and the world’s aviation history, which we expect will attract students as well as tourists,” said Upreti, who is currently a senior instructor pilot with Indonesia-based Lion Air.

He said the initiative to “change the trash into cash” came into his mind after he saw a notice of the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (Caan) that had put the aircraft under the hammer.

Last year, Caan decided to open an aviation museum and exhibit aircraft like Fokker, Dornier, Avro and others that have lain abandoned after failing to sell them for scrap. Caan had planned to set up the museum at its Radar Training Centre located in Sano Thimi, Bhaktapur, with an aim to attract students and researchers, but the plan failed after the Finance Ministry’s reluctance to allocate funds. The proposed museum was estimated to cost around Rs 4 million.

“The money collected will be donated for the treatment of cancer patients and offer scholarships to students in the Far-west, Upreti said. According to Upreti, the dumped aircraft cost Rs 7 million and it took five days to take it to Dhangadhi at a cost of Rs 500,000. The entrance fee for the expo has been set Rs 100 for general visitors and Rs 50 for students.

On the occasion of unveiling the master plan, Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation (MoCTCA) of Nepal Bhim Acharya urged the world communities to invest in Lumbini for its conservation and development, whereas secretary at MoCTCA Sushil Ghimire said that the Nepal government is working to make integrated development of Buddhist sites located in Rupandehi, Kapilvastu and Nawalparasi districts. Korean ambassador to Nepal Choe Yong-jin said that the master plan would develop Lumbini as a World Peace City, the pilgrimage destination of the Buddhists all over the world.

The project will be completed in 15 years starting from 2016 in three phases and the estimated cost of the project is expected to be US $ 762 million.

congratulation

Letter of Appreciation

Kailash Srinivasan Salem India for the past ten years:-

We, at Samrat Tours & Travels Pvt. Ltd. Nepal, have been in association with Mr. Srinivasan for the past ten years. Ten years of this glorious association have shown us in more ways than one, how almost single-handedly, a dedicated associate can raise an organization to exalted levels! Thanking Mr. Srinivasan for his innumerable days of tireless service would be next to impossible. Not only that, we admire his grit and perseverance for he is the only outsider known to us, who has had the divine opportunity to complete 50 Kailash Yatras, though using the word outsider would be most inappropriate here.

Srinivasan Salem

Mr. Srinivasan quality work has largely contributed to the comfort and confidence that the yatris experience during the somewhat arduous journey. He would always see to it that they were well-fed and comfortable despite the limited facilities available in the places of our visit especially in the upper reaches of the mountains. On a journey that involves travel across borders and places of hostile environs, there arise many situations where spot decisions become very important. Taking those well informed, timely decisions are one of Mr. Srinivasan hallmarks which has been instrumental in Samrat becoming a sought-after, dependable, value-guaranteed travel facilitator. In short, we have grown with Mr. Srinivasan. It must indeed be an association ordained by the Lord himself for Mr. Srinivasan is driven not merely by grit and perseverance, but by a passion for experiencing divinity again and again and in the process, help others realize their long cherished dream of visiting the Holy Abode of the Lord!

srinivasan-salem

We express our gratitude and respect for his work from the bottom of our hearts and pray to the Almighty that this association goes from strength to strength and serve more and more devotees in the coming years.

With warm Regards,

CN Pandey

Kanchenjunga Trek

kanchanjunga-peak

The Kanchenjunga trekking region arguably offers some of the grandest mountain vistas of the Himalaya. The main approach along the eastern side of the Himal (range) to the northern base camp takes us among an avenue of peaks that frequently appear in adventure catalogues and brochures. Exotic name such as Wedge peak, Pyramid Peak, Janu Himal, White Wave, the Twins and, of course, Kanchenjunga provide the inspiration to make the challenging trek to base camp. Our approach takes us up through terraced hillsides of the remoter ethnic group of Rai and Limbu and then among well preserved forest of rhododendron, birch oak and spruce. The return journey will follow a high yak herder’s route over the snowy pass of the Mirgin La in to the remote valley of Simbuwa Khola. The Kanchenjunga region is restricted to organized expedition group only and therefore sees few if any trekking parties.
