5 Days Bigu Gompa trek in Dolakha is one of the less visited trekking route situated in the northeastern region along the Rowaling valley trek of Nepal that offers the trekkers experiencing country, local Tamang and Sherap culture.

A nice trek to Bigu Gompa in Dolakha offers a cultural experience with Tamang and Sherpa communities, and a visit to a Buddhist monastery (Tashi chhime Gachhal gompa) is a truly spiritual experience with vibes of peace and tranquility. 

Trip Overview

The 5-day Bigu Gompa trek in Dolakha district is one of the less visited trekking routes situated in the northeastern region along the Rowaling Valley trek of Nepal that offers the trekkers experiencing country, local Tamang and Sherap culture, and staying in a homestay provides experience of direct interaction with local people. The main feature of this trek is the Bigu Gompa and Bigu village that were completely damaged, and many of the local houses were also damaged after the earthquake in 2015, and now they have been restored. 

Bigu Gompa trekking is short, but it is a more cultural and less touristic area. Bigu Gompa, the female Buddhism school and monastery, you can visit and also spend some days there with nuns as a volunteer tourist if you wish. The trek begins after the drive from Kathmandu to Sorung Khola via Charikot by bus or private drive. Following the very narrow local walking trail, in one day you will reach the monastery. Warmly welcomed by Buddhist nuns and discover its surrounding beauties. A day excursion around Bigu and meeting the local Sherpa people, following some of the ancient Buddhist stupas you feel as a Buddhist person.
