Lauke Jharna Emerges as one of Nuwakot’s Top Summer Getaways, Drawing Hundreds of Visitors

KATHMANDU: As summer temperatures continue to rise across Nepal, Lauke Jharna in Nuwakot is rapidly gaining popularity as a refreshing weekend destination. The scenic waterfall attracted hundreds of domestic visitors on Saturday, with families, groups of friends, and nature lovers gathering to cool off and enjoy its natural beauty.

Located just a few hours’ drive from Kathmandu, Lauke Jharna offers a peaceful escape with cascading waterfalls, fresh mountain air, and lush green surroundings. The destination has become increasingly popular among travelers looking for an affordable one-day trip without having to travel far from the capital.

The recent surge in visitors highlights the growing interest in exploring lesser-known natural attractions across Nepal. Many visitors spend their time swimming, relaxing by the waterfall, taking photographs, and enjoying picnics amid the serene landscape.

Local tourism is also receiving a boost as the increasing number of visitors benefits nearby businesses, including local eateries, small shops, and transportation services. However, the rise in tourism also brings the responsibility of protecting the area’s natural environment.

Visitors are encouraged to avoid littering, respect the local community, and help preserve Lauke Jharna’s pristine beauty so that future generations can continue to enjoy one of Nuwakot’s emerging natural attractions.

As the summer season continues, Lauke Jharna is proving to be one of the most sought-after weekend escapes for those looking to beat the heat while experiencing Nepal’s scenic landscapes.
