ILAM AND TOURISM

Ilam is naturally a tourist site. It covers 1,703  square kilometers of land with an altitude beginning from 140meters to 3,636 meters from the sea level. The variation of altitude makes Ilam rich in biodiversity. Four perennial rivers that originate on the south face of the Mahabharata range and reverently suffixed as mother flow down southwards along the gentle sloppy green hills and fertile valleys. The humpy hillocks covered with lush tea bushes additionally beautify the nature. It is natural that the onlookers get themselves enthralled. That is why people talk of Ilam.
It seems Ilam exists for tourism itself. Naturally abundant and culturally profuse, Ilam is the buffer zone between the Terai and the Himal. A paradise of flora and fauna, Ilam could be called a repository of biodiversity. It has been a destination for those who like to be close to nature. A home of many ethnicity, Ilam is a place of mixed culture.
