Public toilet at private hotel

Joining the solidarity bandwagon of providing public toilets to the call initially made by Kathmandu Metropolis Mayor Balendra Shah, a private hotel here has also begun providing the essential facility.

A tourism entrepreneur Tika Odari at Kanyam in Ilam district has announced that his hotel 'Kanyam Inn Hotel' was facilitating the people with public toilets.

"Although it is a touristy area, there is no public lavatory. So, It decided to ensure this facility at my private hotel," he said, adding that the tourism entrepreneurs were demanding the management of public toilets but in vain.

According to the locals, Suryodaya Municipality in the district failed to manage public toilets for the tourists visiting Kanyam.

Hundreds of tourists visit Kanyam every day. Odari is the first one here to run a hotel and lodge in a commercial manner.

In addition to the scenic beauty, tea estate, horse-riding and paragliding are available to attract tourists.
