In this region, extended green forests with seasonal blossoming of rhododendron, the huge hills and the towering mountains on the background are coupled with a spectacular mixture of nature and indigenous and ethnic culture and lifestyles. If you could indulge yourself in the village lives of the local people with a participatory approach, it gives travelers the sense of real Nepal and Nepalese ethnic traditions.
