Nepal Association of Tour and Travel Agents (NATTA)— Gandaki is a chapter of NATTA and an umbrella organization of Tours and Travel agencies in Gandaki Province. When tourism industry and businesses with similar nature were fragmented and lacking coordination, leading travel agents within Pokhara put efforts to establish NATTA Gandaki Province (then called NATTA Western Regional Association, Pokhara).
