Highlights

  • Traditional hiking trip along the mountain ranges of the Mahabharata.
  • Investigate the customs and cultures of the Chepang people.
  • Enchanting trek down the less-traveled local trail.

Overview

Chepang Heritage Hill trekking lies at an elevation of 1945m in the Mahabharat Mountain range of Central Nepal north to Chitwan National Park. Firstly, the trek starts on the drive from Kathmandu to Hugdi and further on foot. Chepang people are the indigenous Tibeto-Burman ethnic people called to be the poorest of the poor and endangered communities in Nepal. Gradually, Chepangs are shifting from a semi-nomadic lifestyle to a more normal settled life. 

Along with experiencing the Chepang culture and tradition, the Chepang Heritage Hill trekking is full of exotic views, crackling trees of dense forest, chirping birds, and crimson sunrise and sunset. However, the local people live by hunting, fishing, and self-sustain farming or majorly depend on maize, rice, and wheat. Likewise, the Chepang community has its own culture, tradition, and language, and dressing style. Chepang community provides a completely different cultural experience than what heard, read, or experienced in the rest of Nepal. 

Surprisingly, the trails also showcase the sublime and distinguished view of splendid Himalayan Peaks such as Rolwaling, Dorje Lapka, Gaurishankar, Langtang, Manaslu Range, Himalchuli, Annapurna range, and Dhaulagiri.  The magnificent view of the landscape, the tourist-friendly locals, Chepang culture, local dishes, and homestays make this trek to Chepang hill a remarkable experience of the isolated trails.

Chepang Heritage Hill trekking are accompanied by high hills and streams along with some wildlife in a dense forest. Moreover, the established Chepang museum serves the best history of the culture, language, lifestyle, and musical instruments. Ultimately, the trek is put to the final phase after hiking the upper Dhangadi to Shaktikhor and drive back to Kathmandu.
