Nepal blames tourists for erosion primarily due to the significant foot traffic and infrastructure development associated with trekking and mountaineering activities. The large influx of visitors can lead to soil degradation, loss of vegetation, and increased runoff, exacerbating natural erosion processes. Additionally, waste management issues related to tourism contribute to environmental degradation, further impacting the delicate ecosystems in mountainous regions. This situation highlights the need for sustainable tourism practices to protect Nepal's natural landscapes.

It sounds as if you live in Nepal. I have been there 4 times, and hope to return many times. One of the biggest reasons people may not visit is that they are afraid to visit, with all the political unrest and danger. It may also be that they don't really know much about Nepal and need to learn. Another thing may be the cost and time it takes to travel there.
