Village tours offer visitors a unique experience, as they can stay in  typical Nepali villages with diverse cultures and lifestyles. In some villages, homestay facilities are also available. One can stay with the host family and have delicious local food and drinks and comfortable accommodation. The interactions with the local people will help one to get the first hand information about the host community's culture and tradition.
