If you, too, would like to experience Kenpa for yourself, there is an excellent local initiative to develop the area for trekking routes and tourism. The community members are all eager to promote the natural beauty of this area and to show off their local culture. An intrepid trekker can connect lower Solukhumbu or Tumlingtar with the popular Everest and Mera Peak regions by passing through here.

Our good friend Bagaman Kulung from Cheskam maintains a great blog where you can learn more. Some is in Nepali, but there are English posts as well. Check out http://bagaman-kulung.blogspot.com/

To learn more about our team and what we do in Nepal, or to get some tips on how to visit this area, please visit our website www.dZi.org and contact us via the contact page there.
