Aia ma ke komohana ʻākau Nepala, Pokhara He wahi mākaʻikaʻi koʻikoʻi ia me ka heluna ʻelua ma mua o ke kapikala o ka ʻāina – Kathmandu. ʻO Pokhara wale nō ʻo 200 kilomika (120 mau mile) ma ke komohana o Kathmandu, ʻo ke kūlanakauhale ka home o nā loko nani - e like me Phewa - a ua kapa ʻia hoʻi ʻo "City of Lakes".
Aia ʻo Pokhara, aia ma kahi kiʻekiʻe ma kahi o 822 mau mika ma ke kahakai o Phewa Lake, e haʻaheo nei i kahi kokoke i ka nani ʻo Annapurna Range. Aia i loko o kēia pūʻulu ʻekolu o nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe he ʻumi o ka honua: Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I, a me Manaslu, e moe ana i loko o 15-35 mau mile mai ke kūlanakauhale.
Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia ke kapikala mākaʻikaʻi o Nepal, lawelawe ʻo Pokhara ma ke ʻano he wahi hoʻomaka no ka poʻe holo huakaʻi e holo ana ma ka Kaapuni ʻo Annapurna ma ka ʻāina ʻo Annapurna Conservation Area o ka Himalayas.
ʻO Tribhuwan International Airport (TIA) ke kahua mokulele nui o Nepal. No ka manawa lōʻihi a hiki i ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o kahi mokulele ʻē aʻe ma Pokhara, ʻo TIA wale nō ka mokulele honua holoʻokoʻa o Nepal.
Ua hōʻike ka Pokhara Regional International Airport (PRIA) i ka awelika o 4,000 mau mea kaʻa i kēlā me kēia lā i ka wā ʻahaʻaina i hala.
ʻOi aku ka nui o nā malihini kipa i ka wā hoʻomaha hoʻomaha a me nā kau mākaʻikaʻi kūloko i hoʻonui nui ʻia ka huakaʻi hele ma ke ala mokulele ʻo Pokhara-Kathmandu-Pokhara.
ʻO ke kahua mokulele, akā, manaʻo e lawelawe i 1 miliona mau kaʻa i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
ʻO ka moeʻuhane kahiko o Pokhara no kahi kahua mokulele honua a me ka pahele ʻaiʻē Kina
Ua manaʻo ʻo Nepal e kūkulu i kahi mokulele honua ma Pokhara mai ka hopena o ka makahiki 1970, me ka manaʻo ʻana he wahi mākaʻikaʻi nui. Ua kū ka holomua ma muli o nā pilikia politika a me ke kālā a hiki i ka wā i komo ai ʻo Kina e kōkua.
Kūlike ka hana ʻana o ka mokulele me ka pahuhopu o Kina e hoʻokumu i kona mana ma waho o ke aupuni ʻAmelika. ʻO ka pili ʻana o Nepal i India, kahi mana e piʻi aʻe nei, hoʻohui i ka waiwai hoʻolālā no Kina. Hoʻolaha ʻia ka mokulele i hoʻopau ʻia e Beijing ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka Pelekikena Xi Jinping's Belt and Road Initiative.
Ua ʻike ʻia ke kulekele hoʻopukapuka no nā kumu kūʻai kumu kūʻai a i kekahi manawa ma lalo o nā hale e hoʻokaumaha ai i ka ʻaiʻē ʻana i nā lāhui.
Ma Nepal, alakaʻi ʻo CAMC Engineering o Kina i ka papahana mokulele, lawe mai i nā mea a me nā mīkini mai Kina, e hoʻohui ana i ka ʻenehana a me ka hoʻolālā Kina. Eia nō naʻe, ua ʻike ʻia kahi noiʻi ʻo New York Times i ka nānā ʻana o ka ʻoihana i kāna mau waiwai, e pale ana i ka nānā ʻana o Nepali.
ʻO ka hopena, aia ʻo Nepal, i kēia manawa, i kahi mokulele pipiʻi me ka lawa ʻole o ke kaʻa e uku ai i kāna mau hōʻaiʻē i ka mea hāʻawi kālā Kina.
Pokhara International Airport: Ke kūkulu 'ana a me ka hopohopo
I ka makahiki 2011, ua kākoʻo ke Kuhina Waiwai o Nepal i ka manaʻo a CAMC ma mua o ka hoʻokūkū hoʻokūkū, ma mua o ka hoʻokō ʻana o Kina e kālā i ka mokulele. ʻO ka ʻaelike hōʻaiʻē Kina i ʻae i nā hui Kina wale nō e hoʻokūkū. Kāhea mua ʻo CAMC i $305 miliona, ʻelua ʻelua o ka manaʻo, e hoʻopiʻi ai.
I ka hopena, ma hope o ka nānā ʻana, ua hoʻemi ʻia ke kumukūʻai i $ 216 miliona, he 30% ka emi ʻana. I ka makahiki 2016, ua kau inoa ʻia kahi ʻaelike 20 makahiki, me ka hapaha ma ke ʻano he hōʻaiʻē uku ʻole a ʻo ke koena i hōʻaiʻē ʻia mai ka Exim Bank o Kina ma 2% ukupanee, e hoʻomaka ana ka uku ma 2026. Hoʻomaka ke kūkulu ʻana i hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope.
I ka makahiki 2018, ua hoʻāla ʻo Murari Gautam, ke kiaʻi ʻana i ka ʻaelike Kina.
Ua hoʻolālā mua ʻia ma $2.8 miliona no nā mea aʻoaʻo e hōʻoia i nā kūlana kūkulu honua, ua hoʻemi ʻia nā kālā i $10,000, a hoʻihoʻi ʻia ma kahi ʻē aʻe.
Ua hōʻike ʻo Gautam i nā hopohopo e pili ana i ka hana a CAMC, me ka haʻi ʻana i ka lawa ʻole o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka lepo no ke alahele, ka hoʻolālā maikaʻi ʻole ʻana o ka wai, a me ka nele o nā palapala e pili ana i ka maikaʻi o nā mea Kina.
Mai ka hana mua ʻana iho, ʻaʻole i manaʻo nui ʻo CAMC i ka hāʻawi ʻana i kahi mokulele maikaʻi; akā, e hoʻopau wale ana i ka papahana.
ʻO ka pilina ma waena o CAMC a me Kina IPPR International Engineering, kahi hui ʻo Sinomach, ua hāpai i nā hopohopo e pili ana i nā hakakā o ka makemake. Ua hoʻonui ʻia kēia mau hopohopo ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o CAMC i IPPR ma 2019.
Ua hōʻike ʻo Jacky Zhao, limahana IPPR mua, ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo ia e kūʻē i ka nānā pono ʻana i ka hana a CAMC, e hōʻike ana i ka nānā ʻana i ka hoʻopau ʻana o ka papahana ma luna o ka hōʻoia maikaʻi. ʻO ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i nā palapala hoʻopunipuni i loko o ka hui papahana i hoʻohui i nā pilikia.
I ʻAukake 2022, ua hoʻopau ʻo IPPR iā Zhao a me kekahi limahana ʻē aʻe, ʻo Ms. Wang, no ka hoʻi ʻole ʻana i Kina e like me ke kauoha, me ka haʻi ʻana i kā lākou mau hoʻopiʻi mua e pili ana i $11,000 i nā lilo i uku ʻole ʻia ke kumu o ko lākou hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana.
Ma kahi ʻokoʻa ʻē aʻe, ua komo kahi luna papahana Kina mai CAMC i kahi ulia pōpilikia i make i kahi mea hele wāwae. Ua hewa ʻo ia no ka "make traffic" ʻoiai ʻo ia e hoʻokele ana i kāna Toyota Hilux "ma lalo o ka mana".
Ua hoʻoholo ʻia ka hihia ma ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka ʻohana o ka mea i pepehi ʻia i kahi kālā a me kahi wahi no kahi hale kūʻai kope ma ke kahua mokulele. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka hihia ma ke kānāwai ʻoiai ua hoʻoholo ka ʻAha Kiʻekiʻe ʻo Pokhara i ka manaʻo o ka luna me ka ʻōlelo ʻana ʻaʻole ʻaʻohe waiʻona a me ka hoʻokele kaʻa ʻole i kōkua i ka make.
He mea nui i ka luna hoʻomalu i ka nui o ka hana e hoʻokuʻu koke ʻia no ka hopena i makemake nui ʻia e CAMC a me nā luna Nepalese - ke kūkulu ʻana i ke kahua mokulele ʻole.
Kina-Nepal-India: He Trio Geopolitical Complex
Ma hope o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kahua mokulele ʻo Pokhara International, ua hoʻopuka ʻo The Chinese Embassy ma Nepal, e hōʻailona ana i ka mokulele ʻo Pokhara ma ke ʻano he papahana nui o ka hui pū ʻana ma waena o Kina a me Nepal's Belt and Road Initiative. Eia naʻe, ke kūʻē nei kēia ʻōlelo i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kūkulu ʻana i ka mokulele ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka papahana hoʻolālā o Kina.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ambassador Kina Chen Song i ka mokulele ma ke ʻano he mea nui o ka hui ʻana o Belt a me ke alanui i Iune, a ua wehewehe ʻo ia ma hope - ʻaʻole ʻo Kina e hoʻokō i ka inoa ma Nepal akā e hoʻomau i kāna mau hoʻolālā.
ʻO ka pilina o ke kahua mokulele ʻo Pokhara i ka Belt and Road Initiative he mau luʻi no Nepal, ʻoiai ʻo India e nānā pono i kēia hana Kina. No laila, pilikia ka mokulele i ka huki ʻana i nā mokulele honua, me ka ʻole o nā mokulele India e hōʻike nei i ka makemake e hana ma laila.
ʻO kahi haʻawina kūpono i mālama ʻia e CAMC i ka makahiki 2014 i manaʻo ʻia e loaʻa ka waiwai o ka mokulele no ka uku ʻana i kāna mau hōʻaiʻē. Eia nō naʻe, ua hilinaʻi kēia i kahi 280,000 mau kaʻa kaʻa honua e 2025.
I kēia manawa, ʻaʻohe mokulele honua e holo ana mai Pokhara International Airport, e hoʻopilikia nui ana i kēia mau kuhi.
Wahi a nā hōʻike media kūloko, ua hoʻopiʻi ke Kuhina Nui ʻo Gandaki ʻo Krishna Chandra Pokharel i ke aupuni Kina e hoʻololi i ka hōʻaiʻē i hāʻawi ʻia no ke kūkulu ʻana i ke kahua mokulele ʻo Pokhara i mau haʻawina.
Pokhara International Airport: Nā Hana Hana Kino
ʻO ka Pokhara Regional International Airport (PRIA) - i hoʻokumu ʻia i ka lā 1 o Ianuali 2023 - e hōʻike ana i kahi ala holo hoʻokahi i ana ʻo 2,500 mika ka lōʻihi a me 45 mau mika ākea, e kuhikuhi ana i ka hikina-komohana me nā hōʻailona kikoʻī.
Aia he 330-mika ke alanui holo. Hoʻolako ʻia ke ala holo kaʻa me ka laina waena, ka ʻaoʻao, ka ʻaoʻao paʻi, a me nā hōʻailona paepae. Eia hou, he 1.2-kilomita ke ala kaʻa kaʻa e holo like ana me ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o ke alahele, ʻo 23 mau mika ka laulā. Aia i loko o ka ea nā ala kaʻa kaʻa, nā ala komo, a me ke kahua mokulele.
ʻO ke ala holo kaʻa e hoʻokipa i nā mokulele e like me ka Airbus A320 a me Boeing 737. Ua kaupalena ʻia nā hana o ka honua ma ka ʻaoʻao hikina o ke ala holo, ʻoiai hoʻohana nā mokulele kūloko i nā ʻāpana hikina a me ke komohana.
Aia i loko o ke kahua mokulele ʻelua mau kikowaena lehulehu, hoʻokahi no nā kaʻa kaʻa honua a me ka home. Loaʻa i ka ʻenehana kahi kikowaena honua 10,000-square-mika me ka hale kila a me kahi hale kuʻuna a me ka hale ukana 3,500-square-mika. Hiki i ke kikowaena honua ke hoʻokele a hiki i 610 mau mea hele e haʻalele i kēlā me kēia hola.
Hiki i nā ʻāpana ʻelua ke lawelawe i hoʻokahi miliona mau kaʻa i kēlā me kēia makahiki, me ka pahu hale 4,000-square-mika ma ka ʻaoʻao komohana o ka mokulele.
Pokhara Airport Ma mua
Ma mua o ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o ka PRIA hou, ua lawelawe ʻo Pokhara Airport ma kahi o 1 miliona mau kaʻa ma 2022.
I ka makahiki 2022, ua lawelawe ke kahua mokulele o Pokhara i ka huina o 883,536 mau kaʻa, me 81,176 he mau haole.
(Nā hoʻokomo mai The New York Times & Local Media)
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- I ka makahiki 2016, ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia kahi ʻaelike 20-makahiki, me ka hapaha ma ke ʻano he hōʻaiʻē uku ʻole a ʻo ke koena i hōʻaiʻē ʻia mai ka China's Exim Bank ma 2% ukupanee, e hoʻomaka ana ka uku ma 2026.
- Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia ke kapikala mākaʻikaʻi o Nepal, lawelawe ʻo Pokhara ma ke ʻano he wahi hoʻomaka no ka poʻe holo huakaʻi e holo ana ma ka Kaapuni ʻo Annapurna ma ka ʻāina ʻo Annapurna Conservation Area o ka Himalayas.
- Ma kahi ʻokoʻa ʻē aʻe, ua komo kahi luna papahana Kina mai CAMC i kahi ulia pōpilikia i make i kahi mea hele wāwae.
