Our Local Life Trails take you off the beaten paths and into the real Nepal: close to the life of its diverse ethnic groups, which are spread across the Himalayan state like multifaceted mosaics. This very special Local Life Trail winds its way along the historic Salt Route through the mysterious south of Nepal. Past the remote villages of the semi-nomadic Chepang people in the rugged mountains of the pre-Himalayas to the Tharu fishing people in the jungles of the lowlands. Our adventure tours are accompanied by the well-known environmental activist and food blogger Prashant Khanal, with whom you will immerse yourself deeply into the lives of the people. You will eat and sleep in selected homestays, directly with host families, and also share their daily work routine with them. A journey that truly changes, because Fair Trails also specifically supports the improvement of people’s living conditions along the Local Life Trail. PS: The grand finale is the jungle safari with the team of the world famous Tiger Tops Tharu Lodge, a true pioneer for responsible tourism in Asia.<\/p>\n

    In terms of territory, Nepal is actually quite a small country. With its 147,000 square kilometers, it is roughly the size of Austria and Switzerland combined. However, its very special location between the Indian subcontinent and the Tibetan highlands and its downright dramatic landscape have influenced the country’s settlement history for thousands of years. Today, more than 150 different ethnic groups are spread throughout the country. They live from the lowest point, at 70 meters above sea level in the steaming jungle of the lowlands, to the highest settlements in the world, at about 4500 meters above sea level, at the foot of ice-clad Mt. Everest. A landscape that leaves its mark. <\/em><\/p>\n

    “It often seems to me that landscapes affect the way of thinking, change the forms of thoughts, influence the course of ideas. So that in the end it seems: one thinks and feels differently in every region”.<\/em>,<\/p>\n

    as the Bachmann Literature Prize winner Valerie Fritsch has so eloquently put it on paper. The unique diversity of Nepal’s geography has had a decisive influence on the traditions, the food and the culture of its ethnic groups. From the Indo-Aryan people groups in the lowlands of the south to the Tibeto-Burman people, such as the famous Sherpas, in the rugged Himalayan mountains in the north. In a relatively small area, the maximum north-south extension of the country is just 241km, fascinatingly large differences are apparent from one community to the next. A multicolored and multifaceted mosaic, which has remained unnoticed until today far away from the well-known trekking routes, but which constitutes the real character of the country.


    With all the diversity, one thing is common to the peoples of Nepal: they are called the “Guardians of the Himalayas”. Because without the people, their cultures, traditions, practices and ways of life, even the highest mountains in the world are just dead, lifeless rocks. The Local Life Trails are therefore dedicated to these guardians and their diversity. To their traditions, their lives and their challenges in a world in upheaval. This very special first Local Life Trail starts in the center of Kathmandu, the capital of the country, and then moves on to the mysterious south. Our Local Life Trail experience focuses on the lives of the Newar, Chepang, Gurung and Tharu people, all of whom live along the ancient salt routes. They used to connect China with India, thus passing through Nepal and promoting a prolific cultural exchange through trade. <\/div>\n

One of these salt routes is used for the actual trek, which starts at the Trishuli River that flows between the Himalayas and the Mahabharat Mountains, the so-called pre-Himalayas. The route crosses these same Mahabharat Mountains from north to south, with the first section climbing quite steeply into the labyrinth of the pre-Himalayas. The rest of the route then follows the paths of the Salt Route, connecting remote villages of different ethnic groups, such as the Gurung or the Chepang. The landscape alternates between fertile cultivated land and dense monsoon forest, with small mountain passes, so-called Bhanjyang, being crossed again and again. Especially here, the path also repeatedly gives a view of two beguiling world landscapes: In the north, the ice-armored peaks of the Himalayas, from the Annapuran Himal to the particularly close Manaslu and Ganesh Himal to the Langtang Himal. And to the south, the steaming lush green lowlands of the Ganges plain. At the fortified village of Upardhandaghi, the trail then descends steeply into the Terai lowlands, where the trek ends in the bustling market of Shatikor.

    <\/p>\n

    The rest of the trip benefits from several transfers to reach the two highlights of the Local Life Trail in the Terai lowlands in a time-saving way: The Tharu village of Meghauli at the confluence of the two great rivers Narayani and Rapti and the famous Tiger Tops Tharu Lodge in Chitwan National Park, where a memorable jungle safari experience is yet to come. The tour then concludes with the final transfer to Kathmandu.<\/div>\n

It starts with a fascinating tour through old Kathmandu. Along the so-called “Kathmandu Food Trail” the traces of the old salt caravans are picked up and immersed in the culture of the Newar people. This is followed by the transfer to the enchantingly located Himalica Camp on the wildly roaring Trishuli River. The camp forms the spectacular base camp for trekking across the Mahabharat Mountains. The trekking through fertile cultivated land, dense monsoon forests and over rugged mountain ridges is spectacular, but without making any major technical demands. In addition, our Fair Trails expert Prashant Khanal opens up profound and also surprising insights into the life of the villages along the way. Highlights of the trek will be the working day with the Chepang in the enchantingly located village of Uparghandaghi and the handover of urgently needed water filters in the selected project villages. The second part of the itinerary will offer you two unforgettable experiences in the lowlands of the Terai: fishing in the jungle river with the Tharu fishing people and jungle safaris with the great team of the Tiger Tops Tharu Lodge. From the “Elephant Walk” through the jungle to the jeep safari into the core zone of the Chitwan National Park.
