⚠️Tips & warnings

📍 On the ground
Getting around: One to one-and-a-half hours east of Kathmandu by taxi or local bus. The village is small and walks entirely, with viewpoints close to the hotels.
Halal & prayer places: Near-absent — a small sunrise-viewing village; local vegetarian options are the safest bet.
Local safety: Same as country →
Cost figures: 2026 prices: no entry fee for the village itself, the sunrise viewing tower ~$1, hotels with mountain views $20–70/night.
