Ramechhap Tourism Overview

Ramechhap, only 100km east from Kathmandu, offers a trekking experience unequalled in Nepal. Sandwiched between the high Himalayan range to the north and the rolling Maharbhata range to the south, trekking in Ramechhap offers magnificent Himalayan panoramas, lush rhododendron forests, and unique cultural experiences. The elevation ranges from 488m at the Sun Kosi River to Numburchuili peak along Everest Himal range at 6959m.

Vistas of the rolling foothills dotted with isolated farming communities, rhododendron forests and bamboo groves, all crowned by an array of snow peaks are bound to leave you breathless. The cultural rituals surrounding Buddhism and Hinduism are another major attraction. But the foremost prize of the whole experience is the chance to meet people from 21 different Indigenous communities, learn about them and their culture- yes, all of the above in one trek. You will feel good knowing that your visit is genuinely helping your hosts. And what’s more, you can relax on one of the best beaches in Nepal!!

The real Ramechhap can be explored through the recently developed two new trails (i) 7/8 Days ‘INDIGENOUS PEOPLES TRAIL’ (www.iptrail.org) in the west and (ii) the 14 to 16 Days ‘NUMBUR CHEESE CIRCUIT' (www.numburcheesecircuit.org) in north Ramechhap. Efforts for developing two new trails in the district was coordinated by the Local Economic Development (LED) Forum Ramechhap with the active leadership of District Development Committee (DDC) Ramechhap and the Ramechhap Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) along with the technical and financial support from International Labor Organization/Employment and Peace Building based on Local Economic Development (ILO/EmPLED). The promotional efforts are undertaking jointly with the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB), Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN) and Trekking Agencies in Nepal.
