In the tourist destination Dhorpatan area, there is a lot of potential for ski adventure sports. In the recent past, Nepal has been becoming a fast-paced destination for adventure ski tourism. Under the Dhorpatan Game Reserve, the only hunting reserve in Nepal, skiing can be played commercially around the Dhorpatan Valley.
As geography is many times more exciting and adventurous in Nepal than skiing in Europe and America, skiing is now expanding in the mountainous and high mountain areas of Nepal. A survey by an expert has shown that there is a lot of potential in the game of slipping in the snow.
A recent study by a group of mountaineering and Himalayan trekking experts jointly with the Nepal Mountaineering Training Institute and the Nepal National Mountaineering Pathfinder Association has revealed the possibility of skiing near the Dhorpatan Valley.
Chiring Jangbu Sherpa, an international mountain guide and board member of the Nepal Mountain Training Institute, said that there is a possibility of conducting ski sports in Dhorpatan not only in winter but also during the rainy season.
"There is a possibility of skiing on the slopes of land north of Dhorpatan valley. Artificial ice can be made in the area as it is not very sunny and cold," he said. Our group's study has shown that the game can be played by building, we will submit a detailed feasibility study report to the government in a short time.
Since 2015, the Nepal Mountaineering Training Institute and the Nepal National Mountaineering Pathfinder Association have been jointly developing the study of the potential of skiing, skiing training, sports production and skiing tourism in the mountainous and high mountainous regions of Nepal.
A group of experts participating in the study has stated that there is a possibility of skiing and apple farming in Dhorpatan. Experts say that skiing can be done at other times as it is very easy to make artificial ice in a place where electricity is available and it is very cold.
