KATHMANDU, April 1 (Xinhua) -- Nepal received a total of 121,687 foreign tourists in March, down 5 percent year-on-year, the Nepal Tourism Board said on Tuesday.
The board attributed the fall to fewer visitors from India and other countries.
Nepal welcomed 21,412 Indian travellers in March, down from 30,698 over the same month of last year.
Tourism is a major source of foreign exchange earnings and job creator in Nepal. ■
