Mountain Safari - Chepang Hill Trek
This is not only about trekking. It’s about seeing, feeling, meeting, and truly experiencing the way of life in a remote part of Nepal - where the Chepang people live with quiet dignity and an unbreakable bond with nature. When you are curious and open-hearted, this journey becomes so much more than a trail through the hills - it becomes a story you carry with you.
You can also do this trek with sportive children aged ten and up. It can become a life-changing experience for the whole family.
