The planning involves transforming the lake and its surroundings into a tourism park, including the installation of a view tower, bicycle lanes, and walking trails. These facilities aim to attract both domestic and international visitors, linking Laurighol with the nearby tourism hub of Sauraha and Chitwan National Park
The municipality will partner with landowners and the local community using a public–private partnership model. This includes leasing arrangements and revenue-sharing strategies to ensure fair benefit distribution from tourism initiatives.
Beyond recreational use, the lake functions as a protected water resource for the local ecosystem and community needs. The park and associated facilities are expected to create livelihood opportunities, boost eco‑tourism, and improve public health and well‑being via green open space (an approach supported by broader research on communal green areas)
Laurighol is a peaceful, emerging eco-tourism site – perfect for short nature visits, family outings, or local exploration. As development continues, it will become even more visitor-friendly, but for now, go prepared and enjoy its natural charm.
