During this trek, you will have opportunity to visit to the Shaman, the religious practitioners, who said to contact with the supernatural world. The Shamanism is practiced every part of Nepal. Since there is dearth of health institutions in remote areas, and thus the shamans in many part of Nepal play important role in treating to them who are sick. Even though there are Health Institutions, many Nepalese do believe to shamans, therefore they do visit them when they are sick before visiting to any health care centers.
