Nepal is a country of great diversity of landscape and people with their age-old religions, cultures, and heritage.

On treks, you will visit the main villages of Dhampus, Nau-Danda, and Kaski Kot with Sarankot. The Gurung peoples follow Buddhist religion and culture, and as well as the Bon sect of pre-Buddhism, who are also worshippers of nature and mountain spirits. Every house is adorned with Buddhist prayer flags of white, blue, red, green, and brown. All these colorful flags represent the five main elements of Earth.
The Gurung also practices Shamanism, an ancient religion characterized by the belief in an unseen world of gods, demons, and ancestral spirits. Gurung also celebrates Hindu festivals, but their main event is called Tamu Losar. New Year is based on animal and bird cycles which falls in December or January that is similar to Tibetan and Chinese New Year but with different months. From Nau Danda to Sarankot the villages are populated by mixed tribes of hill people mostly with Hindu Brahmin, Chettries, and Dalits of Aryan and Dravidian origin, interwoven with strong Hindu religion.
