Indigenous Peoples Trek Highlights

  • World Heritage site visits in Kathmandu.
  • A scenic drive, rivers, and a waterfall.
  • Beautiful 100 hills, landscapes, and mountains.
  • Typical villages, lifestyle, food, and cultures.
  • Staying with the local family.

Indigenous Peoples Trek, or I.P. Trails, was opened a few years ago and takes trekkers through lesser-traveled parts of Nepal. Located after a 6-hour jeep drive from Kathmandu, we begin our journey to get the real local experience of Nepal. Stunning mountain views, the sacred Hundred Hills, sacred caves, Buddhist ceremonies, and connecting to the local people and culture added up to create an unforgettable adventure. We walk through typical Nepali villages, enjoy the warm hospitality at homestays, and stay at a Buddhist monastery among the hospitable female nuns.

Our guide shares with you the magic of the folklore and religious sites hiding throughout the region. The Indigenous People's trek is generally easy and perfect for those looking to gain a better cultural understanding of Nepal and wanting to get away from the more popular trekking routes. Join with Rugged Trails Nepal to make your life memorable trip. For more about indigenous trek details, read our blog, which was written by Allie (from the USA).
