Many tourists visit Rampur each year for rafting. Tourist can go for trekking as Rampur is surrounded by hills on all sides. The view of mountain Makalu and Annapurna has added more beauty to Rampur. The tourism industry has not yet been developed because of the lack of resources. However people are aware about it and hopefully, in next 10 years there will be great changes in arrival of tourists and tourism industry. By the point of view of visiting tourist in Rampur there is widely known and famous place which is known as Talpokhara. Talpokhara is the historical place by the point of view for tourism.
