Nature Trekking in Chepang Villages
A visit to Nepal remains incomplete without seeing the beauty of the Terai. One of the most traditional and conservative indigenous nationalities of Nepal, the Chepangs live in Chitwan. They have their own distinct language, which belongs to one of the Tibeto-Burman strains. Chepangs are mostly hunters and gatherers. They are animists and their clan priests are called Pandes. It is felt that their religion and culture are influenced by the Tamangs
Nature trek to Gadi Hill :
Uppardang Gadhi is a classic octagonal artillery fort, passing into the Chitwan hills that defended the surrounding countryside during the reign of Bahadur Shah. The fort offers spectacular views in every direction. Village walks, nature and bird watching tours and the Chepang Chitwan Hills trail will be of special interest to visitors. The area is accessible from as far as Shaktikhor, walking uphill. An alternate route is to start from Hugdi (80kms from Kathmandu).
Siraichuli Viewpoint:
A new trail has been identified which offers magnificent sunrise and sunset views from the top of Siraichuli hill. A panoramic view of the Himalayas, a mixture of experiences of hills and Terai, Cultural Experiences of Chepang and other ethnic groups, bird watching, home-stay and other natural attractions make this trail a must to visit.
Home-Stay tourism and culture:
Villagers offer a unique accommodation opportunity. Stay in their beautiful home as guests and discover the unique culture in this area.
Bird Watching:
Chitwan is a birdwatcher’s delight with more than 450 migrant and local species recorded. The most sightings are in February-March (spring) when thousands of water birds migrate along the Koshi Tappu reserve.
Safety:
• Do not enter rhino or tiger habitat, inside or outside the park, without
a guide.
• A rhino will lower its head and take a step back if it is about to charge;
if it does, try to run in a zigzag path and throw off a piece of clothing
as a decoy. The rhino will try to smell it or better, try climbing a nearest
big tree
• If a bear or tiger charges, climb a small tree.
• Do not get anywhere near a mother with young ones of any of these species
• Lookout for crawling reptiles
