The village is located in the Kali Gandaki Gorge, east of Tukuche Peak. It is a center of the Thakali people. These residing Thakali people brand the Thakali tradition, especially Thakali food items (Thakali Khana Set and Thakali Khaja Set), which is more trivial all around Nepal. Besides food, other attractions lie in the white plastered, wooden houses, dusty and dry land, and also the unique culture and lifestyle of people.
