Change is a village development committee in the Himalayas of Taplejung District in the Mechi Zone of north-eastern Nepal. At the time of the 2011 Nepal census it had a population of 4,034 people living in 861 individual households.[1]There were 1,876 males and 2,158 females at the time of census.

This VDC is mainly inhaited by limbu an Mongolian descendant, including Angbuhang, an indigenous tribe. This VDC produces cash crops like orange, cardamom and tobacco. West/south to North/east orientation of the land and south facing slopes provide more sunny hours. Change has a hiking route (now being introduced as a rhododendron hiking trail) Taplejung-Gorja-Basantapur, which passes from the middle along its length. Gorja is a local camping site and picnic spot.
