Indigenous People Trail - ILO

Accommodation

NCC is primarily an eco-camping trek. Accommodation on the ‘Numbur Cheese Circuit’ ranges from a few well-established lodges at Those, Shivalaya, Deurali, Serding and Bhandar on the Everest Base Camp route, to newly developed eco-camping sites combined with the family home-stays in magnificent Sherpa and Newari homes.

Eco-camping

Without a doubt, one of the many exciting experiences for visitors to NCC is Eco-camping. Visitors can spend 5 to 7 nights at the designated eco-camping sites at Panipakha, Manedanda, Panchpokhari, Tare, and Ngeju. Eco-camping sites are equipped with safe drinking water, kitchen cum porter shelter, dry stone wall and drainage facilities. Visitors need to bring camping gear like tents, sleeping bags, mattresses, kitchen kits, and all food items and fuel (e.g., kerosene). Experienced porters and trained local guides can help to manage your camping in these wilderness areas.

Home-stay Accommodation

Home-stay facilities can be enjoyed at Khahare, Lhachhewar, Kyama, Gumdel and Lapchane. Visitors can enjoy the basic accommodation and facilities at the traditionally managed home-stay lodging of the Sherpa and Newar communities. Boiled and filtered drinking water and hygienic toilets are available at all home-stays. Bucket hot shower can be available upon request. Visitors are allowed and expected to observe and participate as well in the traditional activities of Sherpa communities.

What is a Home-stay?

Rural Nepali’s have a traditional love for meeting people, making new friends and welcoming guests into their homes. In turn, for many Nepali as well as visitors to Nepal, there is little that is more interesting than staying as guests in a traditional Nepali home. When staying with a Nepali family guests live the life as the local people do, and feel being treated like part of the family. more...

Home-stays provide an authentic visitor experience that directly improves the lives and heritage of local Communities and aims to discover the real Nepal and to enjoy the untouched and undisturbed countryside. The homes are not hotel; instead they reflect the traditional and simple atmosphere of the people. Apart from the pleasure of being amidst peaceful and serene environment, tourists can also enjoy the traditional folk dances and music presented by the. The focus for the guests is on experiencing and learning from an authentic and enriched culture. Visitors are often involved in local activities that range from cooking classes through to attending a traditional wedding, watching a local cultural dance. In addition, the program increasingly responds to the growing interest among urban Nepali to rediscover, taste, appreciate and maintain contact with their rural roots.

Local people organize and host the visitors and therefore are the primary recipients of the benefits, financial and otherwise, that accrue from the tourism activity. In addition to the host families, many of the micro-enterprises in the locality also benefit directly from the influx of tourists and increase demand for their products. The home-stay concept provides the ideal vehicle for visitors to experience the rural and traditional Nepali way of life, and for the local community to participate in and benefit directly from tourism. By staying at one of our Home-stays a certain percentage of the accommodation price you cover is placed into a community fund to support further community projects as decided by the local village tourism development committee.
