Itinerary

Where Nature, Heritage, and Culture Meet

Overview: 

Your journey begins with a scenic hike from Sanga, passing through pristine routes that wind through the Brahmin, Tamang, and Newari communities. Along the way, you'll encounter beautiful nature, meet local people, and gain insight into their unique cultures. The hike concludes at Panauti, where you’ll stay with a host family at the Panauti Community Homestay, offering an authentic experience of local life through interaction and cultural immersion.

During your stay in Panauti, your host will guide you through the town's historical sites, including the Indreshwor Temple and Triveni Ghat. Back at the homestay, you’ll be able to dress in traditional Nepali outfits, join the family in preparing local cuisine, and participate in a Thaili (traditional Nepali purse) making session, where you’ll learn from locals and create your own keepsake to take home.
