LANDRUK - Quintessential Gurung Village

  • 1,659 meters

Landruk is the smaller and somewhat plainer sister of Ghandruk. It is nevertheless a large Gurung village with decent accommodation. What it lacks in size and color, it makes up with its rustic and laid back aura. In many ways, Landruk with its simple slate roofed ochre and white houses represents a typical Gurung village before the advent of tourist dollars and Gurkha pounds. Landruk along with Chhomrong also has somewhat of a reputation at honey hunting. And May is about when the first of the assaults is mounted on the beehives of the world's largest honey bee. If you are serious about seeing this daredevilry get in touch with the owner of Hungry Eye Hotel.
