ChaChaWhee FunPark Resort, a resort especially for children has been established in Pokhara, a tourism town of Nepal. The one of its kind resort came into being about a month ago with an investment of Rs 20 million, informed its Director Pratikshya Chhetri. 
 
The resort is located at Gharipatan of Pokhara and spreads over 20 ropanis of land. It has 15 rooms from where the beautiful Annapurna range in the north can be enjoyed. As the resort is established with children in mind, first priority is given to those who come along with their children. Chhetri says, “ChaChaWhee FunPark Resort is the only exclusive resort of its kind for families with kids.”
 
Getting Popularity
Chhetri says that the resort has gained popularity within a short time of its opening. One of the most popular packages offered by the resort is ‘Family Fun Package with Dinner and Breakfast’ for two adults and two kids in a room. This package, which costs Rs10,000 per night, also offers unlimited rides for children and some facilities for adults along with breakfast and dinner for all. Children can enjoy unlimited rides such as Joy Train, Battery Cars, Flying Chair, Merry-Go-Round, Ferris Wheel among others. Chhetri says that if the family purchasing this package has only three members, 15 per cent discount is given while if there are only two clients, 30 per cent concession is provided. She says that another Family Room and Fun Package is also much loved by the families visiting the resort.
 
A room at the resort costs Rs 2500 without any package. The popularity of the resort is increasing and its Managing Director Dinesh Prasain credits the quality of services and the unique family environment provided by the resort for it.  “Fun Park is becoming centre of attraction for those visiting Pokhara along with 
their children.” 
 
Chhetri says that schools in the surrounding areas bring school children to the fun park. Along with domestic tourists, the resort is getting popular among foreign visitors especially Indian families 
with children. 
 
Caring for Safety
Prasain explains that when adults go for sightseeing, the resort has facilities to entertain their children at the resort. The resort has installed safety and security measures for all the rides and games for children. “We realize that kids and families need to feel secure. A team of full time technicians monitor and supervise the rides as safety comes first for us,” Chhetri said. A mechanical engineer led team of technicians constantly supervise the games and rides to ensure the security and smoothness of the rides.  Likewise, the fun park has first-aid facilities on site as well as vehicles on standby in case of any emergency. “We have invested in technologies and professional security companies that ensure security but in the friendliest ways,” says Chhetri.

As of now, Rs 70 million has been invested in the resort. According to Chhetri, Global IME Bank has provided loan for developing the project. The resort houses various amenities for children such as revolving wheel, swimming pool, garden, joy train, video game parlour among others. The resort also organises birthday parties, family gathering and 
other events.
 
Chhetri explains, “ChaChaWhee is the Nepali expression of fun, thrill and joy. Kids usually ChaChaWhee! in the ping-swings, especially during Dashain. Now you need not wait for Dashain and Melas. Nor is the traditional ping-swing the only thing that can ChaChaWhee the kids.”
 
The Location
ChaChaWhee FunPark Resort is located in the prime location of Pokhara. It is situated within five minutes driving distance from the Airport, Bus Park and Fewa Dam Site towards the International Mountain Museum at Himal Tole of Gharipatan. The upfront view of some of the most beautiful Himalayas – Machhapuchhre, Annapurna I, II, III, IV, Annapurna South and Lamjung Himal makes the resort special, say its promoters. Similarly, the beautiful scenery of the mountains and the garden within the resort premises make the stay at the resort more pleasurable. The garden was set up with the help of the gardener who also helped set popular Garden of Dreams at KesharMahal, Kathmandu.
