The Mundhum Trail explores the hill country of eastern Nepal. The source journey describes ridges, open grazing land, rhododendron forest and villages connected with Kirat communities.
A route with a cultural connection
The trail takes its name from Mundhum, the oral traditions of Kirat people. Walking here is an opportunity to learn from local communities, with their own languages, customs and relationships with the landscape.
Hills and Himalayan views
Temke, Mayur and Silichung are among the places described along the route. Open ridges offer views towards the eastern Himalayas when conditions allow, while forests and grazing land bring variety to the walking.
Plan the practical details
The route length, overnight stops and transport depend on the programme you choose. Ask the team to confirm current trail conditions and arrangements before committing to dates. Walking in hill country still requires preparation; a scenic view is not a measure of how demanding a day will be.
