Chitwan Chepang Hill Trekking - 9 Days

A representative of Himalayan trekkers will meet and greet you at the airport and transfer you to the hotel.

In the evening we will arrange your meeting with your trekking guide so that you can have your queries solved if you have any.

Kathmandu valley is also known as the city of temples, which has many things to see. It has a cluster of 7 world heritage sites among which 3 are old palace areas (Kathmandu Durbar Square, Bhaktapur Durbar Square, and Patan Durbar Square),  2 are Buddhist stupas (Boudhnanath, and Swayambhunath) and 2 are Hindu temples (Pashupatinath, and Changu Narayan) . We will arrange for the sightseeing of any four places as per your interest.

After a warm breakfast, we start our drive to Hugdi, which is 80 km away from Kathmandu on the western side. Hugdi is situated at about 310 meters from Sea leave and we stay in a house managed by the family.

In the evening you can stroll around the area and experience village life. You might get a chance to see the farmers milking their buffalo.

Today our homestay destination is Hatti bang situated at an altitude of 1400 meters. The walk is around 5 hours and as the altitude suggested we will be gradually going up from Hugdi. After a couple hours of walk, we will halt at a Magar settlement. We continue walking for an hour and stop for lunch. Soon after lunch, in another couple of hours we are at Hatti bang which offers a scenic view of the surrounding hills and even the Annapurna range if the weather is very clear. In the evening, you will be  interacting with the local host regarding their daily life. Our trekking guide will interpret as many of them don’t speak English at all.

After breakfast, we will leave Hatti bang and move towards Jyandala, a village situated around 1600 meters above the sea level. This village is famous for the sunset and sunrise view over the western Himalayan ranges of Nepal, besides the hospitality of the homestay. This is a unique place in terms of view as you can witness some of the highest peaks in the world such as Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Annapurna, and the flatlands which are less than 100 meters from sea level.

In the evening, a nice meal from the host. You can try your hand in cooking traditional Nepali food here at Jyandala. 

The portion of the trail we cover today is very interesting as we go up and down, time and again. The dense forest with more than 300 species of birds  and their chriping sounds make the walk more interesting. Besides a large number of birds, different species of wild animals are also seen in this area but during day time, the chance of encountering them is very low.  .

After a long yet good walk, we will reach upper Dhangadi for our overnight stay. 

Today is the last day of the trek. We will descend to about 300 meters. After we reach Shaktikhor,  we will visit the Chepang Museum, waterfall, and caves. You can also visit the camp of the Maoist guerrillas.

In the evening, we will organize a Chepang cultural program for you.

After breakfast, return back to Kathmandu with a scenic drive.

(Note: If you have good leisure you can extend your trip and explore Chitwan National park too). 

After arriving at Kathmandu, you are free to explore on your own. In the evening, farewell dinner with team of Himalayan trekkers. 

Our airport representative will assist and transfer you to the airport for your scheduled flight back to your hometown.
