Overview

Mundum Trekking is a new adventure in eastern Nepal that takes you through a peaceful and beautiful ridge. This less-traveled path provides a unique hiking experience where you can explore the vibrant cultures of Kirat Rai, Limbu, Sunuwar, and Kulung ethnic groups in the eastern Nepali Himalayas. You'll discover their shamanic, animistic, and Shiva-worshipping way of life. The trek was constructed with a collaboration between the Swiss Embassy and the Nepal government's vision for trekkers in 2018.
The name "Mundum" is closely tied to the Kirat and Rai people's cultural practices in the region. It refers to the religious scripture guiding their social and cultural life. As you trek through Kirati settlements, you'll learn about their distinctive culture and lifestyle. The route passes through indigenous villages, reaching a viewpoint at Silchung Peak, considered the dwelling place of their revered gurus. The trail starts from Diktel Bazar via Tawa Bhangyang.
The Mundum Trekking itinerary includes stops at Tamke Mayium, Chakhewa, Dhotre, Maiyung, RawaDhap, Salpa Bhanjyang, Silchung, Hakule, Hanspokhari, Khoramukh, and ends at Bhojpur. Along with cultural experiences, the trek offers stunning views of the Himalayas, green valleys, and lush forests. You can also see five 8,000-meter peaks: Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Shishapangma, Makalu, and Cho Oyu.
The trek is considered easy to moderate, reaching a maximum elevation of 4,165 meters. Altitude sickness isn't a concern, but following a healthy routine is recommended. Facilities like Tea Houses are available for accommodation, and meals are essential, local, and hygienic. Water is abundant, but it's advised to purify it using a stripe pen, water purifying tablet, or boiling. 
March to May and September to December are recommended times for the trek, suitable for both experienced and beginner trekkers with average physical fitness.
While Nepal Telecommunication's (Namaste) cellular reception is available in parts of the trek, internet services are not. Electricity is accessible in camping places from Day 3 to Day 11, so packing a small solar charger is advisable for your gadgets.
