Affluence is manifest in the village which largely consists of Gurungs living on pensions from the Indian and British armies. And, the new income from village tourism has gone into improving the homestead without compromising with the traditional simplicity of the village houses. Four years after the village was exposed to outside culture, the pristine spirit of the Gurungs has sustained the experiment, although strains of the road-link to Sirubari has caused some concern about the initial concept getting diluted. The roads will only make it easier and those interested in adventure would still take the mountain trail. The mountain trail begins from Arjunchaubari, which is 80 km from Pokhara.
Villagers provide simple home-made food consisting of rice and cooked lentils with one vegetable.
Mutton is the only variation for non-vegetarians. The ideal time to visit the village is from April to July when the temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius. All rights reserved.
