Show AllThe Indigenous Peoples Trail is newly introduced cultural home-stay trek in Nepal which traverses through the traditionally rich and culturally diverse areas of Nepal. The Indigenous Peoples Trail offers scenic trekking at relatively low elevations below 3200m/10496ft. The trek presents an incomparable and unique blend of religious, cultural, linguistic and ethnic diversity coupled with breathtaking Himalayan panoramas, stretching from Dhauligiri and Annapurna in the West to Numbur Chuli and Kanchenjunga in the East. This trek is fairly quiet and doable throughout the year which offers the visitors an invaluable insight into the culture, tradition and lifestyle of several local indigenous peoples including Tamang, Newar, Sherpa, Thami, Yolmo and Majhi. The two predominant religions, Hinduism and Buddhism, are ever present with the variety of gods and goddess, temples, stupas and monasteries. You also get to stay a few nights in the home-stays with local family and get to experience the local tradition, culture and warm hospitality up-close and personal.
