Experience the allure of the Mundum Trail Trek (Mundum Silichung Danda Trek), a recently unveiled gem for avid travelers seeking an immersive trekking and camping escapade amidst the pristine beauty of eastern Nepal. Our journey promises not only breathtaking encounters with nature but also a profound exploration of the localities, revealing the rich tapestry of Kirati-Rai civilization, culture, and lifestyles. Against the backdrop of panoramic views stretching from Mount Everest to Mount Kanchenjunga, we delve into an off-the-beaten trail boasting natural wonders, rich biodiversity, and the captivating allure of the mid-Himalayan and Terai regions.

Nestled in the heart of the Mundum Trail are centuries-old Kirati-Rai communities, coexisting harmoniously with Brahman, Chhetri, Newars, Magars, and Dalit settlements. Renowned experts affirm that Mundum serves as a verbal scripture for Kirati people, intricately detailing their rituals, lifestyles, and traditions. The very hills we traverse—Temke, Mehrung, Maiyung, Salpa Pokhari—once served as sacred pilgrimage pathways for Mundumi, the Kirati guru, on their journey to the revered Silichung hill. Unveiled to trekkers in January 2018, Mundum Trail stands as a culturally enriching and adventurous destination.

Embark on a Cultural Odyssey along the Kirat Rai Cultural (Mundum) Trekking Trail: Immerse yourself in the cultural mosaic of the Kirat peoples as you traverse the Mundum Trail. Named after the religious scripture, Mundhum, that guides the social and cultural life of Kirati communities, this trek unravels the unique tapestry of their existence. Journeying through age-old Kirati settlements, you'll witness firsthand their distinctive culture and lifestyle, adding a cultural dimension to the marvels of the localities.

The Mundum Trek route navigates through indigenous ethnic villages, offering a captivating adventure through the heart of Kirati settlements. This Kirat Rai Cultural Trail ascends to an elevation of 4,200 meters, culminating at the Silchung Peak viewpoint. The trail, untouched by modernism, commences its journey from Diktel Bazar, ensuring an authentic and unspoiled experience for trekkers seeking a harmonious blend of cultural immersion and natural wonders.
