The Chitlang Homestay Trek is a perfect short getaway for anyone looking to escape the busy streets of Kathmandu and experience the peaceful side of rural Nepal.

Located in the hills of Makwanpur, Chitlang is a historic and culturally rich village surrounded by forests, farmland, and beautiful countryside. The journey combines a scenic hike with an opportunity to stay with a local family and experience village life more closely.

Rather than staying in a conventional hotel, you will spend the night at a local homestay, enjoy traditional food, meet local people, and experience the slower rhythm of village life.

The trek is designed to be enjoyable rather than rushed. There is time to walk, explore, take photographs, interact with the community, and simply enjoy the natural surroundings.

With Sherpa Eco Adventure, the Chitlang Homestay Trek is more than a hike. It is an opportunity to explore, experience, and support local communities while enjoying a refreshing escape from Kathmandu.
