This is an exotic trek that offers a closer peeking inside the lives of Chepang people. The trek through the Mahabharata range, at moderate altitude through less crowded, beautiful hillsides allows you to indulge in the life of the semi-nomadic Chepang people. The Chepangs are ethnic people with a distinct lifestyle who feed on fruits and roots and have unique cultures of their own. Due to the remoteness of city life full of conveniences, the indigenous people are considered to be among the marginalized groups of Nepal.

This trek helps you explore the true condition of Chepang people on one hand, while on the other the trek helps promote local products, expand local tourism, and show their clear picture to the rest of the world.
