Mundum trek

The Mundum trek is a newly discovered trekking journey in the Far East of Nepal. The journey starts at the place called Diktel near Halesi Temple. This is the youngest official trekking destination launched in Nepal in January 2018. The trail traverses through the ridge from where we can see the magnificent view of the Himalayas' peaks and mountains. The Mundum trek is a journey that reflects the culture of the Rai, Limbu, and Kirat people in a village.

The term "mundum" is derived from the holy book of the Kirat people, who are the indigenous people living in this area. During your journey, you will be able to see Kirat people, their customs, culture, tradition, and way of living. If you are searching for an offbeat virgin trekking route, the Mundum trek is for you, which can fulfill your thirst for exploration.  The Himalayan Smile Treks organizes a camping trek, including food and accommodation in a tent for this journey because there are no teahouses for the most part. The Mundum trekking route grade is easy/moderate; it is not a physically or technically challenging trek, but you will still need a good level of fitness. In the trek route, electricity is not available in many parts of this trekking route, so we will suggest battery backups if needed, be brought in Kathmandu.

The Mundum trek is a journey for those adventure seekers who prefer to trek through the unspoiled and virgin terrain. The trek mostly traverses through the ridge of the mountain and hill; thus, we always have the bird’s-eye view as well as the view of towering Himalayan peaks and mountains. We can see around thirty different peaks, including several mountains over eight thousand meters, which are Everest, Lhotse, Cho you, Makalu, and Shishapangma. The highest point we are going to reach during this journey is Silchunk Peak, which is 4200m high above sea level.
