It is well known fact that travelling has been a human phenomenon since the beginning of human civilization. It is a sensitive factor of the human nature in the context of moving to survive, explore and to know that unknown.
Yet tourism is often taken to be a new phenomenon associated with our present civilization.
The ancients undertake travels for personals or collective interest or out of curiosity and regions sentiments But the modern science and technology advancement, higher incomes and saving longer, leisure times, demographic expansion, cheaply facilitated and diversified tourists services, spread of education etc. have made the term “Tourism” more households as well as the most dynamic and important for not only developing countries. Nepal, a country of natural paradise, is unique due to its peculiar topography, diverse climate and cultural heritage. Nepal has many tourists’ destinations and range of comparative advantages.
The most spectacular mountains in the world, people of different races, religious, cultures, and costumes, a wide variety of flora and fauna and
a varied climate are the large and growing tourist’s world. To develop sustainable tourism and to achieve the opium socio-economic benefits, the activities like eco -tourism, community based tourism or village tourism; social tourism should be highly promoted.
Nepal one of the most unique exotic and remote destinations in the tourism map of the world unquestionably a country deemed with countless natural wonders and exhilarating tourism products.
It would n’t be an exaggeration to say tourism potentiality of Nepal, if utilized properly and with a little seriousness on the part of the plans and policy makers; it would prove itself like the Hen that used to lay Golden eggs in fairy tales. Social tourism is Community based tourism which enables tourists to discover local habitats, wildlife and to celebrates and respects traditional cultures, rituals and wisdom.
The community will be aware of the commercial and social value placed on their natural and cultural heritage through tourism, and this will encourage community to conserve these resources. Supporting community-based tourism, tourist can immerse in the day-to-day lives of local and indigenous people while helping them to preserve their environment and cultural heritage by sharing idea and knowledge.
In return tourist gets rare opportunities to experience local communities in a low price instead of paying high price for the hotel and resort. Many successful experiences in development countries prove that tourism can become a leading sector for the people who conserve natural resources and live on it. Local people of these countries jointly cooperate in Community Based Tourism and this gives not only economic benefits for them but also becomes an example of community involved decision making process. A community by definition implies individuals with some kind of collective responsibility, and the ability to make decisions by representative bodies. Also Social tourism is aimed at benefiting the whole community by contributing to the economic and social development of regions and citizens as the whole. 
All the players in the tourism development are subject to the same expectations of professionalism and competence, whether facility managers or entrepreneurs, guides or tour organizers, entertainers or educators.
