Foreign Minister Arzu Rana Deuba on Friday said that the government will take steps to upgrade Tatopani border point.

She was speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the hot spring baths facility at Tatopani in Bhotekoshi Rural Municipality-2 in Sindhupalchowk. 

The Bhotekoshi Rural Municipality constructed the hot spring baths facility targeting the visitors and pilgrims.

It is said that a total of 47 bathtubs were built in the newly-constructed facility.   

The local authorities shared that almost 1,000 tourists visit the site everyday during the months of October to April for the hot spring baths.

Saying that this border point is important for tourism promotion, Minister Rana stated that this border point should be arranged systematically since its development would also contribute to the accessibility of pilgrims' traveling to Mansarovar.

Likewise, Minister Rana consulted with the lawmakers, local government representatives and other stakeholders from Sindhupalchowk to upgrade the road networks in the district.

Meanwhile, Minister Rana inspected the Customs Office and Tatopani Border Point and directed the officials to perform their duty in a systematic manner.
