Access: The Jhunga village offers a small mini-market with basic items and a couple of cafes. If you require any specific items, it’s better to purchase them in KTM before joining the program. The closest ATM is in Bhiman town, about 15 minutes away from Jhunga, so we recommend bringing enough cash from Kathmandu.
