Male and Female Kheni: Ghost Eaters of Kagbeni Village. The "Kheni," also known as the "Ghost Eaters." This tradition involves individuals, typically a male and a female, who are believed to possess the unique ability to communicate with and consume malevolent spirits, thereby protecting the community from harm. The male and female Kheni of Kagbeni Village embody a fascinating aspect of Nepal's cultural and spiritual landscape. Their role as ghost eaters underscores the village's profound connection to the spirit world and the enduring significance of ancient traditions in contemporary society. As guardians against supernatural threats, the Kheni ensure the continuity of Kagbeni's unique cultural narrative, bridging the past with the present and the material with the spiritual. nepalgatewaytrekking.com/mustang-trek
