More than 500 domestic tourists reached the Lake for celebrating New Year 2074 last year, according to the Annapurna Conservation Area, Manang.
The number of New Year 2075 celebrators pushing their way to the Lake may double, said Chairperson of the Tourism Entrepreneur Association of Manang Binod Gurung, adding that hotels in and around the tourist destination are packed every year on the eve and the day of Nepali New Year.
