A NEW CONCEPT IN NEPAL TRAVEL In the past touring in
Nepal has meant either trekking along the trails or
staying in specially built resorts. Getting to know the
local and their culture has been difficult. Now you can
experience a stay in an unspoiled village living as a
family member.
Village tours allow visitors to experience a stay in a
typical Nepali village. This gives visitors an
opportunity to observe the real Nepalese cultural
tradition from the closest quarter and intermingle with
the locals. Besides, any expenses made at that level
directly contribute to the welfare of the local
community, hence giving the visitors a sense of
satisfaction. Village Tour differs from trekking in a
couple of important ways. First, although some walking
is involved, and a trekking permit may even be required,
exercise is secondary to the cultural experience: the
whole point is to stay in one village and get to know
its people, not to cover distances between villages.
Second, accommodation is in an actual home, not a
trekking inn filled with other backpackers, so the
cross-cultural exchange is more authentic.
Village Tours are conducted in Sirubari, Bandipur,
Kakani, Gorkha, and other places. But I highly recommend
my clients to observe Sirubari village, as it is one of
the best typical village in Nepal. So here I have
described about a village of Sirubari and its
itineraries in detail.
