Ashram, #Dharmashala are practised long back in Nepal and India. Now a days, Monastery stay and temple stay are increasing in Nepal. Lots of pilgrims and scholars stays in such accommodation. Some time it is controversial that such practice does not make any monetary contribution to the nation, instead it hampers the norms of tourism.
These days it is available in Pashupatinath, Bauddha, Kapan Gumba and many more hindu temple areas and Buddhist monasteries including Lumbini, the birth place of Gautam Buddha.
Hoteliers are against these practice, while Dharma Gurus and Pandits are in support of these development. Being a tourism student, I see it as another product in tourism. We need to find out varities of accommodation to fulfill different clients in the industry. Though they don't contribute in commercial benefit, but they may contribute in society directly or indirectly.
