In the enigmatic realm of Chitlang, an ancient Newar village nestled in the embrace of the Chandragiri mountains, the ebb and flow of time weave a tale as intricate as its name implies. Here, the Newar cultural tapestry unfolds, resonating with historical echoes as it once stood proudly along the trade routes from Tibet to India. A venture into this historic haven, a mere stone’s throw from Kathmandu, promises not only a trek into nature’s bounty but also an odyssey through the captivating burstiness of its landscapes.
Mr. Raghunath Lamichhane, a luminary credited with inaugurating Chitlang’s tourism through visitchitlang.com in 2017, etched the first chapter of the village’s modern narrative.
The frigid embrace of Chitlang’s atmosphere is deftly thawed by the warm hospitality of homestays and resorts, where travel fatigue surrenders swiftly. Amidst this idyllic haven, a symphony of experiences unfolds—historical and cultural village tours, campfires dancing to the rhythm of flickering flames, and enchanting traditional dances.
