Gurung community of Nepal is Mongolian Tibetan ethnic people who are habituated mainly in the western region of Nepal. Most of these people also known as “Tamu” reside in district of Kaski, Lamjung, Baglung, Gorkha and Dhading. These people are well known across the globe because of their bravery during World War II under British Army. These fearsome fighters usually habituate in deep valleys and high hills. These people have their own language, culture and traditions. To understand such rich ethnic group of people in Nepal Gurung Heritage Trail is an ideal trekking package to choose.
We have planned the itinerary for Gurung Heritage Trail in such a way that people can reach almost 4 major Gurung/Ghale villages across Lamjung and Kaski districts of Nepal. Once you land in Kathmandu we will escort you to Lake City Pokhara which is heartland of Gurung Community as well. From this place for almost 4 days travelers will be staying in authentic local house of Gurungs. Home Stay concept is flourishing rapidly in Nepal and it is really very attractive for both international and domestic travelers. The village of Thunsikot, Pas Gaon, Bhujung and Ghale Gaon are nerve center of Gurung Civilization. These places are not only popular for the cultural understanding but also for spectacular mountain vistas and hilly landscape. Terraced farmlands, forests, rivers and local rituals will make the trip momentous. While you enjoy nature’s allures while walking on trail; evening at Gurung house will be full of fun. Local delicacies, locally brewed alcohols and traditional folk songs will definitely revitalize the soul. You will miss these villages and Gurung people once you return from the trip.
