The major attractions of Sirubari village are the daily lifestyle of the Gurung community. Gurung is one of the ethnic groups of Nepal. These typical Nepalese villagers will look after you, entertain you, and give you a taste of true Nepali hospitality, which you are not likely to experience in the cities.
