Tracing Nepal’s “The EastQuest – Taplejung Takeover” offers a unique opportunity for travellers to go off-the-beaten path. Nepal’s Eastern districts and region may not appear high on the list of places to visit, yet Tracing Nepal has gone all-out to focus this particular trip on the Eastern towns and villages. With the focus of the 12 day trip in Taplejung district’s Sinam village, travellers will immerse themselves in authentic village life living with the community and supporting the agriculture and construction work.
The journey will see travellers departing from the historic city of Bhaktapur where they will receive a guided tour of the Durbar Square, pottery-class and taste of local Newa food and drinks. A road-trip to the East will commence, offering plenty of dramatic views of Nepal’s mid-hill regions followed by the plains of Terai and Madhesh. A stop-over to Dharan, once the home of British Gurkhas recruitment centre, will give travellers time to learn about Dharan’s history, Kirat culture and its street-food!
After five-six days in Sinam village, travellers will take the road to Ilam, home of Nepali tea for a brief lunch-stop and a quick visit to the tea gardens. The team will take a flight back to Kathmandu from Bhadrapur’s Chandragadhi Airport. The trip will conclude with a two nights rest and reflection stay at The Last Resort, home of the bungee!
