'Sky Walk' was built for view of Kanyam

KATHMANDU, Nov 07: A Sky Walk Tower has been constructed at Kanyam in Ilam. From this sky walk, you can see a faraway view of Kanyam tea plantations.

To attract tourists, the tower has been built with a joint investment of 5 crore rupees by 16 women entrepreneurs associated with Kanyam Cloud.

Rita Bhusal of Kanyam Cloud said that the Sky Walk was built to show the tourists who came to Kanyam a view of the tea plantation below by climbing the glass tower. "From this sky walk, you can see the view of Kanyam tea plantations in the distance," she said, "Since this is a completely new structure, it is likely to attract more tourists."

Tourists now have to pay Rs 300 per person to enjoy the Sky Walk. She said that after the construction of other structures, the ticket price can reach 500 rupees. "Every tourist who comes to Kanyam will get to enjoy it," she said.

A staircase has been built in the tower. 4 meters wide and 7 meters long glass is placed at the top of the stairs. Tourists can enjoy the view by climbing the glass. According to him, 2 swings, a kindergarten and a restaurant are also being constructed along with the Sky Walk. However, it will take a few months to build those structures.

You can take photos, videos and even wear cultural clothes. Although the tower once had the capacity to climb up to 22 people, it is currently up to 8 people.

There will be a switch cover, a record of the number of people who have boarded, and security guards for the safety of skywalkers. "Kanyam now has a new destination and attraction for tourists," said Bhusal, "after the construction of the rest of the structures, a large number of tourists will stay here."

Bhusal also informed that the Sky Walk Tower is being constructed in the tourist areas of Bhedetar and Kamaladi in Kathmandu. On the occasion of the inauguration, the information about the operation of the cable car at the base camp of Everest with an investment of 11 billion rupees was also given.

Suryodaya Nagar chief Ran Bahadur Rai, deputy chief Durgakumar Baral, actress Varsha Raut and singer Elina Chauhan jointly inaugurated the structure built near Kanyam tea garden on Mechi highway.

City chief Rai said that investment in tourism from the private sector is positive as it is the only tourist city in Suryodaya Province 1. He said that the city is also investing crores for the development of tourist destinations. He said that after the federalization, the local government has been beautifying various destinations to attract tourists.
