Trip Information of Mundhum Trail New Route 12 Days

Best time for the Mundhum Trek

The best season to hike the Mundhum Trail in eastern Nepal is spring and autumn, which provide the best weather and trekking conditions.

Autumn (September to November)

clear skies, nice temperatures, and minimal rain.
Mundhum Trail Trek is one of the best times for lower region trekking in Nepal, with clear views of the mountains, including Mt. Everest, Mt. Kanchenjunga, and Mt. Shishapangma. The landscapes are breathtaking, and the well-drained trails ensure a comfortable and rewarding journey.

Why Trek to the Mundhum Trail in Autumn?

The weather is stable and good for mountain trekking and viewing the top of the mountains, and the season is wonderful for cultural festivals and local festivals.
Spring (March to May)

With warm temperatures during the day, cool nights, and occasional rainfall toward the end of the season, this is the second-best time to trek, with lush greenery, blooming rhododendron forests, and an explosion of wildflowers along the trail. The clear skies offer amazing mountain views, especially in the early spring months.

Why Mundhum Trail Trek in Spring?

The weather is relatively stable, and the scenery is stunning with vibrant flora. However, it can be a bit warmer, and the trails may get busier toward the end of the season.

Monsoon (June-August)

It is a season of rain, and heavy rain at that, which complicates trekking with slippery paths and potential landslides.

Winter (December-February).

Although the weather is cold and clear, the extremely cold weather at higher altitudes can be severe, and some trails can be closed due to snow.
On average, autumn and spring offer the best and most beautiful trekking conditions along the Mundhum Trail trek with Hill Sherpa Trek’s Team in Nepal.

What makes the Mundhum Trail Trek so special?

The Mundhum Trail Trek in eastern Nepal is a hidden gem that lets you have an adventure, see stunning landscapes, and learn about the culture. The trip starts in Diktel Bazaar and goes via typical mountain towns, verdant valleys, and old woods. With each stride, the landscape changes a lot.

In contrast to more crowded trails, this off-the-beaten-path trek spoils visitors with serene trails and panoramic views of Himalayan giants such as Everest, Makalu, and Kanchenjunga. But the Mundhum Trek is more than an eye feast, it’s a spiritual and cultural sojourn into the heart of the Kirati people.

Committed to the Kirati people’s own sacred book, the Mundhum, the trail introduces adventurers to centuries of Buddhist custom, animist practice, and the living philosophy of one of Nepal’s most ancient indigenous communities. Moderate in difficulty, the terrain itself is an added layer of rough-riding adventure, and the isolation and unspoiled beauty of the region ensure it is the ultimate fantasy destination for those looking to really get in touch with nature and heritage.

What’s in the Name of the Mundhum Trekking Trail?

The Mundhum Trek is not so much a scenic trek- it’s really a title that borrows from the rich spiritual and cultural history of Nepal’s eastern hill districts. The Mundhum has its name borrowed from the sacred book of Nepal’s Kirati people, and the new Nepalese trail trek is a special experience of trekking upon the living heritage of one of Nepal’s most ancient indigenous civilizations.

The Mundhum is Kirati social and spiritual handbook that plots the course of their life, rituals and ethics. As the path heads through isolated towns and villages where several hundred years ago the Kirati had their settlement the trekker is overwhelmed on all sides by a cultural abundance as incomprehensible as the Himalayan geography.

This journey not only respects the spiritual culture of this region, but it also displays the cultural richness of this region that sets it ahead in this comparison with other trekking routes. Within the route, you will observe the actual life in the villages, ancient structures and practices that have existed long and remain there in intact in the towering mountains.

Precisely outlined and conceptualized by the Hill Sherpa Team, the Mundhum Trek is a mixture of pure culture and stunning nature. It is a perfect schedule that would suit those tourists who are willing to discover a less touristic, more natural Nepal, where the cultural and religious heritage is amalgamated with oversaturated nature.

Encountering Kirat Rai Cultural Trail in the course of Mundhum Trek

It is a new and exciting trail trekking in Nepal, the Mundhum Trek that renders an authentic trekking experience at the origin of the Kirati people, i.e., at Kirat Rai community, the first among earliest ethnic groups in the Himalaya. The strongly cultural exposition trail familiarizes the trekkers to a life entrenched in ancient cultures, spiritual activities, and coexistence with nature.

The hike begins at Diktel Bazaar, and is a progressive uphill via series of more culturally older townships such as Chakhewa, Dhotre, Maiyung, Rawa Dhap, Salpa Bhanjyang, Silchung, Hakule, Hanspokhari, and finally Bhojpur. The trekkers are satiated with the breathtaking views along the trek, peaceful tracks through the woods and sunny interactions with the locals.

Hiking in Silchung Peak is enjoyed by people. It is a serene region at 4200 meters above the surface of the sea with breathtaking landscape of the Himalayas including Everest, Makalu and Kanchenjunga. Modern life has not distorted the path, so it is an ideal place that should visit every person who desires to experience a real adventure and discover a new culture. It has a wonderful number of materials and views.
Even as you stride through the sacred groves of the neighbouring villages to access Mundhum, you can sense the spiritual tunes of Mundhum philosophy, a cultural epic that even today has an impact on the lives of the Kirati people.

I just loved the walk arranged by Hill Sherpa Team, and it is simply wonderful to discover the least visited areas in Nepal and enjoy the calm and quietness of the country.
