Overview
Mundum Trek
Mundum Trek is a recently discovered off-the-beaten trail located in the Far-Eastern part of Nepal. It was introduced by the Government of Nepal in January 2018 and is one of the 100 destinations selected for Tourism promotion. This trail traverses through the ancient Kirat villages, lush Rhododendron, bamboo, and pine forests, ridges, sparkly rivers, ponds, and waterfalls, and some of the sacred sites of the Kirat religion.
This region remains in solitude, far from the modernization of the world, and entering Mundrum provides the feeling of being thrown back to medieval times. It is also one of the last places where the authentic culture of the world’s few existing Kirati tribes is preserved.
Trek route to Mundum is relatively easy but what makes it a bit adventurous is that it’s a camping trek. At the lower part of the trek, few teahouses and homestays are available, but as we start moving upwards, the number of teahouses drops to none with the soaring altitude.
This trek is ideal for travelers who wish to relish the beauty of tranquil nature perfectly blended with an unspoiled culture and a hint of adventure.
