Kathmandu, Sept. 18

Spark Cars is organising a programme 'Wild Stay with Chaunri (yak)' in Shailung of Dolakha district.

"Shailung has lots of tourism potential but it couldn't be harnessed due to lack of publicity, so we are organising the wild stay programme under Spark Adventure 2023," said Amar Deep Bhattarai, Coordinator of the event.

Bhattarai informed that the second edition of Spark Adventure, which started last year by hunting wild bees (Bhir Mahuri) in Bhujung of Lamjung district, is being organised focusing on Shailung on the border of Dolakha and Ramechhap and its Chaurigoth.

Celebrities, administrative and security agency officials will participate in the event that will be organised from 28 to 30 October this year.

Captain Vijay Lama, Senior Advocate Surendra Bhandari, artistes Nikhil Upreti, Sandarbha Deep Chhetri, Dilip Rayamajhi, singer Yash Kumar, Garima Sharma and writer Buddhishagar, and traveler Srijan Sijju will participate in the event.

The journey to Sailung will start from Kathmandu on October 28. Organisers said that they will 'explore' Chauri Goth (yak sheds) and Shailung on October 29. In the evening of the same day, local food will be served to the guests and participants along with local cultural programmes.

Participants who wish to explore domestic tourism, spend a night in the forest with Chauri, discover local culture, delicious food and new picturesque rural destinations can participate in the programme.

Shailung offers 'panoramic view' of the Himalayas, high-altitude flowers and the incredible view of the highlands. The registration fee to participate in the programme is Rs. 30,000 for an individual.
