There are different cultures in the Chitlang village, such as Tamang, Khas, Newari, and a mixed culture. Most people follow Newar culture. Chitlang village has a nice homestay, temples, and chaityas. So, a hike in the Chitlang village offers a unique pleasant memory that exceeds our imagination.

From Chitlang, we go for a hike to Kulekhani. Khulekhani is 18.6 km far from Chitlang. The route was the main ancient route with historical importance and was the gateway towards the southern part plain of Nepal before the opening of Prithvi highway.
