Lumle, the paradise

Lumle village is just 32 K. M. west from Pokhara on Bhupi Sherchan Highway—about an hour drive from the headquarter of Kaski district. It has 1,122 households and 5,757 inhabitants of eighteen different castes living across the Village Development Committee (VDC) according to a recent village survey of 2009. The terraced houses, as looked from the distant hills, in the landscape are taken enchanting enough next to Ghandruk; in the evening, the illuminated village looks like a fast, serpentine train wheeling to a hill station.

Lumle is a town and Village Development Committee in Kaski District in the Gandaki Zone of northern-central Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 4,685 persons living in 955 individual households.
