Model (Namuna) Nepal

Namuna Nepal project aims to reconstruct the whole country by rebuilding structures that have been destroyed by Nepalese earthquake.[10] The foundation has decided to make a park about the national symbols to attract tourists.[11] [12] [13] The settlement will have communities of different castes, religions and ethnic groups from the hills, mountains and terai. Replicas in miniature of famous tourist destinations like the mountains, Muktinath Temple, Swayambhunath Stupa, Bauddhanath Stupa, Pashupati Temple, Mayadevi Temple, Janaki Temple, and Dharahara, among others, will be built on the premises of the settlement.[14]

Kattel said that the foundation already has Rs 21.3 million in its reserve fund from previous projects that can be invested in the new project.[15]
