Homestay in Chitlang Overview
Chitlang is a beautiful village in Makawanpur district located at the South-West of Kathmandu. On Chitlang Homestay Tour, you get to experience the richness and diversity of Nepalese culture. Mostly, the people of the Newar tribe reside in this village. Therefore, they named this place in their own language, Newar or Nepal Bhasa, as Chilim or Chitlang.
Apart from the Newar community, there are minority in numbers of Tamang, Brahmin and Khas community.
Chitlang is famous for cultivating local pears and extracting liquor out of it. The people of this community rely on farming and animal husbandry, especially goat. Local goat cheese is very famous from Chitlang and is even exported to foreign countries. We recommend you to taste the freshly made and delicious goat cheese as well.
