Sirai Chuli, often called Siraichuli Peak, is a stunning grassy hilltop in Nepal’s Mahabharat range providing awe-inspiring Himalayan and Terai vistas. The trek traverses through indigenous Chepang communities, showcasing traditional lifestyle, home-stays, and forests of rhododendron, oak, and pine. With elevations rising from jungle plains to 1,945 m, it’s considered easy to moderate—ideal for families and casual trekkers.

At the summit, panoramic sunrise and sunset views span over 20 Himalayan peaks, including Gaurishankar and Langtang, along with the Terai belt of Chitwan National Park. The area is a haven for 230+ bird species, making it a prime bird-watching destination. The Chepang community-led trek emphasizes eco-tourism and cultural connection.
