Gundu’s surroundings are pure jungle, on one of our hikes up to the surrounding hills of Tamang-Gou (HIll of the Tamangs), the livestock started going crazy from the howls of a nearby jackal. A woman related how a jaguar had attacked her in her home at night, and local kids swear that they have heard, some even swearing they have seen tigers. This might be explained by parents using the tiger as a boogeyman effect on their kids to scare them into eating their dal bhat. The other day, the town drunk (villagers like to gossip) paraded a snake he had beaten to death, 8 feet from tounge to tail.
