Gandaki Province is widely associated with mountain landscapes and tourism, but its story also includes agriculture, education, urban development, migration, entrepreneurship and local governance.

Tourism and resilience

Tourism can create jobs across accommodation, transport, food, guiding, crafts and other services. It can also expose communities to seasonal demand and external shocks. Reporting should therefore look at both growth and resilience.

Public services and local development

Infrastructure, health care, education and digital access influence whether opportunities reach communities beyond major tourism centers.

This section will bring together reporting from different parts of Gandaki while giving space to culture, environment and the people shaping local change.
