Lumle Village Landscape

The river flowing down is called Dhoti Khola that meets Modi khola in Nayapool. This Village has many historical temples, Kali Mandir at Pokhari swara is very famous among lumleli. Kanchi Baraha Temple located in the middle of forest (north side of village) is a religious hotspot for the people around that region. Every year, they held big puja at this temple when hundreds of pilgrims visit from all around the country There are people of so many castes residing in this village. Brahmins, Gurungs, Pariyars and other minor castes. Education system is diverse and technical. There are few English Medium schools and many government schools. Balmandir community school, one of the best in country serves this region. Though its technically located in Dhikurpokhari VDC, it was originally started for Lumle Agricultural Research Center (LARC). As LARC was handed over to Nepal government (now known as, Regional Agricultural Research Station, Lumle), this school was automatically opened to general public. Shree Sangam High School is located in Chandrakot. Due to its poor performance, and ignorant school management, it hasn't been doing well in Government held SLC exams. Many Batches went NIL. The pass to fail ration is really low compared to National average. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 4,685 persons living in 955 individual households.[1]

Lately, some young folks have recently made their destination to very advanced countries of the world including Japan, Korea, European nations, and a few to United States of America.
