Camping grounds in national parks in Nepal : Case study of Sagarmatha National Park : This dissertation is presented as a part requirement for the Diploma in Parks and Recreation

Abstract

This dissertation concerns the establishment of camping grounds in the national parks of Nepal. Although it is specifically written for Sagarmatha National Park, the dissertation could provide useful principles when establishing camping grounds in other parks, as parks in Nepal are at an early developmental stage. The objective of this dissertation is to suggest methods for the establishment of camping grounds. It is hoped that the National Parks & Wildlife Conservation Office will find this dissertation useful when establishing camping grounds in the national parks of Nepal in the near future. The limited time and resources available for this dissertation, distance from Nepal and lack of specific information from Nepal related to tourism has meant the dissertation has had to be of a general nature. However, it will deal comprehensively with the basic requirements necessary for the establishment of camping grounds.
