HOME STAY AT BRIDDIM

Briddim (2,229 m) is a small and beautiful Tamang village. It offers Himalayan cultural experience in the form of accommodation. About half of the 43 houses in Briddim offer accommodation at their homes. Here visitors are accommodated as house guests and are able to have first¬hand experience of the age-old culture and hospitality of the Tamang community. Being an honored guest of a rural family, sharing their daily chores, and having delicious home-cooked meals with them add a different dimension to one's experience in Nepal. Briddim is at the end of the Tamang Heritage Trail. However, visitors also have the option of visiting only Briddim, which is about a 3-hour light trek from Syabrubesi. The accommodation and tourism package is managed by Home-stay Tourism Management Committee. Briddim home-stay was awarded 2nd Mountain Development Prize at the 3rd International Mountain Day program held in Kathmandu in December 2005.
