Healthcare

The small health centers in many village development committees(VDCs) are without auxiliary health workers, Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs), and community health workers. As a consequence, people seeking emergency health assistance are forced to travel long distances to the district headquarters or Kathmandu, and may even end up dying without access to treatment. Many individuals still believe in Jhakri (shamans and diviners) and are reluctant to seek medical help.

PHASE Nepal,[10] an NGO, provides many health care facilities and training programs to Rayale,[11] a VDC of the Kavrepalanchok district. Currently, PHASE Nepal works on several projects in this district including community health and education, teacher training programmes, and hygiene and sanitation programmes.[11]

Tourism

Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Kavrepalanchok district has great potential in the tourism industry. It is culturally rich with historical places like Dhulikhel, Sangaswoti - Bangthali, Panauti, Banepa and Chandeni Mandan. Chandeni Mandan contains the lowest and highest points of the district, the Indravati river and Thamdanda, respectively; the latter offers hiking and a 360-degree panorama including the top of the world. There are big religious fairs like the Chandeshwori Jatra of Banepa,[12] the Namobuddha Jatra[13] of Namobuddha which is celebrated on the birth date of Buddha (Buddha Purnima), and the Kumbha Mela of Panauti which happens every twelfth year.

The Long Himalayan Gaurishankar range can be seen from Dhulikhel and the Sangaswoti Range. Kavrepalanchok is famous for short-circuit trekking in places like Dhungkharka-Narayanthan, Dhulikhel-Kavre-Namobuddha-Sankhu-Panauti-Banepa. Some places to visit here in Kavrepalanchok districts are: Saping Siddhi Ganesh Temple[14] Saping Mulkharka Bhimsenthan, Palanchok Bhagwati, Namobuddha, Dhulikhel, Gaukhureshwar, Hajar Sidhi (1000 Steps to Kali Devi Temple), Devisthan (where Kali Devi Temple is situated), Thulo Bangthali, Talu Dada view Tower, Gosainthan, Banepa, Khopasi, Pasthali, Balthali, Ladkeshwar Mahadev, Nepalthok, Patlekhet, Phulbari, Dapcha and many more.

Koshipari (i.e. east of Dolalghat/Sunkoshi River) has very good prospect in tourism field. There are many adventurous places such as Thulo Bangthali. Recently a new trail known as Sangaswoti range hills trail has been opened for hikers. Though the road network is still under development and a good paved road is lacking, Koshipari can certainly be used as the cycling spots. Once the condition of road is well constructed, this place will quickly be developed into many beautiful tourism spots. However, there are already homestays and lodges in Thulo Bangthali. Many travellers choose Laure-Bangthali trail to reach Shailung and Everest. The wild native forest in Bangthali area is rich in bio-diversity. More than 700 different kind of herbs are found in this jungle. Recently this place has been famous for bird watching and volunteering.
