Chepang Hill Trekking is newly open Trekking trail in nepal. This area is 86 km from kathmandu. Dhading and Chitwan Chepang Hills Trekking  is sole because of one of the most ethnic  Chepang Culture in Nepal. Chepangs, speak their own separate language, leading a roaming life and their most important lifestyle, hunting, digging for wild root and fishing and established farming near jungles. A Praja Pande confidence healer might be an interesting figure for cultural tourists to be introduced with them. They reside in the remote and sparse contours of Dhading, Chitwan, Gorkha and Makawanpur districts. The Dhading/Chitwan Chepang Hills Trekking offers a odd combination of cultural  (Hunting Gathering) experience.


People of Chepang

Chepang traditionally practice some slash-and-burn agriculture, or simple hoe-based horticulture along with mostly hunting and gathering from the forests. Since being resettled in southern Nepal and impinged upon by Nepali speaking groups, Chepang have begun plow-based agriculture. Chepang men and women are basically egalitarian and no social ranking exists as it does in caste Nepalese society. There are no chiefs.
