It was once a no go place for travellers or government officials in this western part of Nepal. The western hilly part of Nepal were mostly occupied by the Maoist fighters. This route was often used by the fighters to attack the government posts or as a hiding place for the Maoist. Most of the people were or had to be Maoist for the security of them self to live in this part of the country. Our trip known as the Guerrilla trek takes you to the heart of the Maoist capital and its surroundings.
Guerrilla trek follows the same route was used by the Maoist fighters’ during 13 years long civil war. This is one of the least trekked areas of Nepal and now after the war is over you will enjoy the trek because of the local life that can be observed and shared with the people. Guerrilla trek or the Maoist trekking trail has very basic accommodation so while trekking in this route you will be staying in peoples houses or camping. The area that suffered a lot from civil war is one of the most diverse in terms of culture, nature. The scenic views of Himalayas, high pastureland hills and the peaceful trekking route make this place more interesting and enjoyable. The trek also passes by only the hunting reserve of Nepal which is Dhorpatan Hunting reserve. We will also visit some places that are special for the Maoist history.
The people had lost their culture during civil war time. Now the culture is back and people have started enjoying their festivals and culture. Guerrilla trek is a perfect way to know how the communism (Maoist) started in Nepal. What brought the country known as peace country to have one of the fierce fighting in country? You will meet and stay with some nicest people who were involved in the war as guerrilla fighters. Their economy is gone down because of their history but now tourism can become one of the best way to help these people to generate income.
