Trip Highlights
Chepang village tour is newly developed for tourism which is just 80 km away from Kathmandu. Chepang culture is one of the most unique and ethnic culture in Nepal. They have their own language, leading a nomadic life and their primary lifestyle, hunting foraging for wild roots and fishing and traditional farming near jungles.
Trip Overview
The Chepang Village Tour offers an immersive cultural and ecological experience in the remote hill regions of Nepal, where the indigenous Chepang community preserves a distinct way of life closely connected to nature. This tour provides travelers an opportunity to explore traditional settlements, terraced landscapes, and forested hills while engaging with the unique customs, language, and livelihood practices of the Chepang people.
Visitors typically trek through scenic rural trails, passing through subtropical forests and small farming communities, before reaching Chepang villages that remain largely untouched by modern urban influence. The tour highlights sustainable living practices such as foraging, shifting cultivation, and community-based resource management.
Cultural exchange is a key aspect of the journey, allowing travelers to experience local hospitality, traditional food, folk stories, and indigenous knowledge systems. The Chepang Village Tour not only promotes eco-tourism but also supports community development and cultural preservation in one of Nepal’s most marginalized yet resilient ethnic groups.
This is a newly developed Trekking trail, right in the heart of Chitwan. This trek offers the unique opportunity to interact with Chepangs. Chepangs speak their own distinct language, lead a nomadic life, and hunt, forage, and fish for survival. The Chepangs have a rich cultural heritage which is shown through songs, dances and beautiful handicrafts. They also produce their own fantastic tasting wine and honey.
While staying in their villages, we will have the opportunity to meet and learn from A Praja Pande (faith healer). The trek goes through lush jungles and remote villages where very few tourists have gone before. Chitwan which literally means heart of the jungle is teaming with wildlife and adventure.
Trip Itinerary
Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, travelers will be warmly welcomed by our representative and assisted with airport formalities. After collecting luggage, guests will be transferred to the respective hotel in a comfortable private vehicle.
During the transfer, a brief introduction about the tour program, local environment, and essential travel information will be provided. On arrival at the hotel, guests will complete check-in procedures and may rest after their journey.
The remaining time is free for relaxation or a short exploration around the hotel area, depending on arrival time. In the evening, a pre-tour briefing may be organized by the guide to discuss the upcoming Chepang Village Tour itinerary, safety guidelines, and necessary preparations.
This marks the official beginning of the journey, offering a smooth transition from international travel to the cultural and natural experience of Nepal.
