Overview

Phikuri Danda Trekking is another one of the unfamiliar trekking trails in Nepal. Phikuri Danda Trekking Trial starts by driving to the north of Kathmandu Bhalche, Dumpang (2,000m/6,560ft) 5 to 6 hours. Most of the people of Phikuri region are Tamang, mostly rich in ancient Tamang cultures and traditions, while few people of other castes such Brahmin, Chhetri, Blacksmiths, and Gurungs also live here. When people become sick they used to go to Jhankri (Shaman) for treatment as Hospitals are far from Village and still, they believe in a God. From Bhalche trekking trials continues walking up through beautiful natural scenarios, different floras, and faunas and reach Gonga Bhanjyang, can see an amazing scene of sunset and sunrise.

After an exciting trek to Phikuri Danda, we move down towards Manegaun. We can manage for a home-stay in Manegaun if you are interested.
