CHHAPDANDA - Thatch and Slate

Chhapdanda village has an active homestay community. It is another quintessential Gurung village with slate roofed houses. However, there are also some mud and thatch circular houses too. While rare, these kinds of houses also dot the Gurung settlements. A short walk around this village will yield a monastery of a rather recent origin and what could be prehistoric beekeeping logs or Ghoe Donth. As of this writing, there were only 5 houses who had joined the homestay committee as such, it might be a good idea to call in advance if you are planning to stay the night here. The phone number of the chief of homestay Mr. Kul Prasad Gurung can be found in the lodges section.
