Home » Home Stay » Ghale Gaun Home Stay

We arrange a beautiful homestay trip to the most charming village of Nepal called Ghale Gaun. This village is an exotic pristine village endowed with an unparallel scenic grandeur and a home to GHALES the famed Gorkhas the legendary mid-hill people of western Nepal. Repository of a unique ethnic culture Ghale Gaun is a true microcosm of stunning natural beauty mixed with an unspoiled ethnic lifestyle. Located in the district of Lamjung, Ghale Gaun is approximately 205km northwest of Kathmandu and 125 km northeast of Pokhara the picturesque hill town of western Nepal. Perched atop a ridge at an altitude of 2016 meters from sea level, Glalegaun is probably the only place that commands a superb breathtaking view of majestic western Himalayas including Machhapuchhare(6693m) Annapurna(8091m), Annapurna II (7939m) Annapurna IV (7525m), Lamjung Himal, Bouddha Himal((6974m), Himalchuli (6747m) and many smaller peaks.

Taking advantage of such a unique location, Ghalegaun- a picturesque hamlet of about 95 Nepali-style houses, has recently been marketed as a new destination to experience Village tourism. Accordingly quite a number of houses have been prepared for domestic and international visitors with comfortable basic amenities. Besides the scenic extravaganza of the peaks, the warm and sincere hospitality of the Ghale people is also bound to overwhelm the visitors. Here food items such as grain, vegetables, meat, milk, and eggs, are all locally produced and are indeed for any chemical fertilizers. In addition, the lifestyle of the village truly reflects an exotic living ethnic tradition handed down for ages.

The social life is replete with interesting rituals of the life cycle; birth, wedding, death, etc., religious events and a lively cultural tradition of dance and music and it is well augmented by interesting locally produced exotic handicrafts and utensils. Activities around Ghalegaun include bird watching at Talangyo Lake and visits to the Utter Kanya Temple, Pempro Fall, Batase Cave, and the Khudi hydroelectric dam site.

About 10 hours drive from Kathmandu to Bulbule. Overnight at local house.
