Suryodaya Municipality would like to extend the deepest gratitude to the news outlet Gorkhapatra Daily for shining the light on the significant upcoming event: Visits from ambassadors of over 27 countries to our municipality on the auspicious occasion of Nepali New Year 2082.

This visit holds immense benefits for our municipality. We envision this as another crucial step towards the promotion of the municipality on the international stages and the presence of the esteemed ambassadors in Shree Antu and Kanyam which already serves as a popular destination for both domestic and international tourists, will undoubtedly generate further publicity and recognition, paving the way for increased tourist footfall in the future ultimately benefitting our residents of the municipality and uplifting living standards.
