Betana Wetland

Wonderfully maintained. Everything is so clean and beautiful. I took pictures by the pond and the golden hour light made it look heavenly. There are a lot of different fauna and floras as well. The staff were helpful as they even put our luggage at the ticket counter.

It is wetland conservation area initiated by local community and preserving ecology and promoting eco tourism and fishing. There is Nilgai, an endengered animal. I was there for social and environmental risk assessment practical exercise with my training participants come from churia range community forest Lohandra river system

Situated at Morang’s Belbari, the Betana wetland is a popular tourism hub. The records of the wetland show that five hundred to eight thousand three hundred visitors visit the wetlands on a day-to-day basis contributing to its annual revenue of 15 million (sawa-crore).

The wetland homes various species of tortoises, fishes, birds, and a collection of flora and faunas. It is known for the peaceful environment.To cope with the conversation of the region, Betana Wetland Community Forest User Group was founded in 2061. The conversation committee plans to adopt a 20-year master plan for the development and promotion of the region. In conjunction with the locals and government bodies, the committe aims at enlisting Betana wetland as a major tourist destination.

Apart from the Betana forest, spread across 174.91 hectors, the region also includes an additional 16 percent wetland. 98 percent has been occupied by the forest while 6 percent of the forest is infertile. The master plan of development segregates the community forest area into three categories of development -- social, religious, economic aspects for development. Similarly, the master plan also explains the detailed situational study of wetland’s geological, biological, economic and social scenario, along with the map and overall design of the structure of the park.
