Sailung Dolkha also prized as Sailung Dada is a beautiful landscape situated in the border of Dolkha district and Ramecchap district of Nepal. Sailung is a collection of more than a hundred small hillock (thumko). In the Nepali language 'Sai' means a hundred and 'lung' means hills, together it becomes hundred of hills. Sailung Danda is a tourist destination and also is famous for the religious aspect. Let me share my experience of Sailung hike in detail along with other person views on the place.

I heard about Sailung in my childhood from the song of Kunti Muktan called "Mathi Mathi Sailunge ma Chauri dulaune lai". When I discovered more about the Sailung, its beauty, and diversity I was so fascinated.
