Mundum Trail Trek - 0 Days

Here I will share an opportunity for visitors of Nepal to experience a newly developed trekking route in Eastern Nepal. I am speaking of The Mundum Trail. Originating in Kirati culture, the term Mundum refers to the oral scripture that guides the lives of the people of this culture, rooted more in tradition than religion.

The Mundum trekking trail will lead us through the scenic districts of Bhojpur, Sankhuwasabha, Khotang, and Solukhumbu. Our travels will begin in Kathmandhu. From Kathmandhu we will drive 225 km to Halsei, and then onward to Diktel. 

Halesi is an important spiritual center revered by Buddhists, Hindus, and Kirati's. Every year the festivals Ram Nawami, Sakela, Bala Chaturdashi, Sakala, and Teej draw the devoted to sacred sites including Maratika Gampa, Murdum Cave, Kalikasthan, Bhairavthan, kakani, and most notably Mahadev Cave -- Believed to be a meditation site of Gautam Buddha.

First introduced in 2018, this route begins near the Halesi Temple, and follows high ridges giving trekkers sweeping Himalayan views - the very essence of Mountain Miracles! This trail gives visitors a rich cultural experience of lifestyle, age old traditions, and the ancient practices of the Kirat, Rai, and Limbu communities. Because this route remains isolated, trekkers must arrange their own accommodations and meals, as tea houses are limited. If you are seeking a truly adventurous trek through pristine landscapes you will surely enjoy this experience.

The gradual ascent over ridges and hills provides amazing views of over 25 Himalayan peaks, including Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Shishapangma, and Cho Oyu. The trek reaches it's highest point on Silichung Peak (4,200 m). On this route trekkers encounter rhododendron forests, bamboo groves, and broad views stretching from Everest to Kanchenjunga. A major highlight of our trip is the 180° Himalayan panorama, showcasing peaks such as Manaslu, Dorje Lakpa,

Numbur, Karyalung, Gaurishankar, Kwangde, Kusum Kangaru, Thamserku, Khangtega, Kyasar, Mera Peak, Nuptse, Everest, Lhotse, Chamlang, Makalu, and Kanchenjunga.

Typically completed in 13 to 14 days, this trek requires working with a trekking agency for permits and important preparations.The Mundum trek is a very good choice for travelers seeking a visually stunning journey that provides a wonderful culturally immersive experience as well. We at Mountain Miracles are proud to provide a trek that guarantees escape from modern day -- a trek which we are sure you will never forget!
