Halesi, 223 kilometers from Kathmandu, is where the trek starts. From the beginning, there are benefits.

Background

The word “Mundhum” has kirati cultural and historical roots; it is an oral manual for the kirati way of life and has more traditional than religious overtones. This fact led to the Mundhum Trail, a brand-new and rapidly developing trekking route in Nepal’s eastern slopes. Hilly regions on the path include Khotang, Solukhumbu, Bhojpur, and Sankhuwasabha.
