Second Tokha festival postponed

The Second Tokha festival 2076 has been postponed due to the risk of corona virus. The festival was scheduled to be held from March 6 to 8.

We decided to postpone the festival following the WHO warning that Nepal lies in the high risk zone for possible spread of the COVID-19, said Mayor Prakash Adhikari.

The festival was being held to mark the Visit Nepal Year 2020, aimed at bringing in both domestic and foreign tourists to Tokha. A budget of Rs. 2.5 million had been allocated for organising the festival.
