About This Tour

Ghalegaun (also spelled Ghale Gaun) is Nepal’s most celebrated community homestay village — winner of national tourism awards and a model for community-based tourism across the country. This Gurung village sits in the Lamjung hills with views of Annapurna and Machhapuchhre, and the hospitality of the families here is legendary.

The 4-day trek approaches the village through terraced hillsides and forests, arriving to a welcome that includes Gurung cultural programs — traditional dance, music, and storytelling around the fire. Meals are organic, prepared from the family’s farm garden, and the accommodation is in traditional Gurung stone houses. Everything about this experience is genuine, community-managed, and deeply rewarding.
