Overview

Chintaphu Trek is not just another trek. It’s a scenic trail walk through the picturesque villages between India and Nepal. Chintaphu trek allows you to trek between these two countries. It takes only seven days from your busy schedule. If you are a trek beginner or want to spend some time in scenic, calm and less travelled places, this trek is suitable for you.
