About Indigenous Peoples Trail

Indigenous Peoples Trail Trek is a unique new trekking trail in Nepal that offers to explore the multi-culture, langue, and ethnic area of the mid-region of Nepal. The indigenous people's trail trek is easy and low in elevation. The magnificent panoramic view of the Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, and Langtang Himalayan range to the left and the Jugal, Everest, and KanchenjungaHimalayan range to the right can be seen from this trekking trail. The Sunkoshi River encircles the trekking trail to the south and the Tamakoshi River to the east. The direct experience of this trek is the homestay with the locals being their family members, which gives you the traditional and typical encounter of the multi-ethnic people of this region.

Indigenous People's Region Trek is the best mixture of cultural and ethnic diversity, stunning massifs, and more. After driving about five hours from Kathmandu to Mude, the trek starts by crossing different beautiful villages of ethnic people such as Tamang, Sherpa, Magar, Yolmo, Majhi, and Newar. The local people from this region practice Hinduism and Buddhism; then, you can face their deities, shrines, temples, monasteries, stupas, and other things. The local people, with whom you stay every different night, welcome you with excellent hospitality and treat you like their family members. It helps you learn about the culture and lifestyle by visiting local houses. You will have a great chance to enjoy the cultural and the traditional folk music and the dance and join them. This is one of the non-touristic trekking trails and is far different from other touristic trekking trails. If you trek to this region, it will significantly support the locals to improve their lifestyle and economic status.

Compared to the usual trekking regions, the Indigenous people's trail is a cheap trekking destination, so this is the perfect destination for trekkers traveling with a limited budget. This is not recommended to those people who would like luxury lodges.

Frolic Adventure is the best trip organizer for the indigenous people trails with an experienced guide and helpful helpers. We ensure you the best cultural and traditional experience of this trek.
