As accommodated as it is today, Ghorepani was once just a place for the traders to rest and quench their horse’s thirst. Travelers found water, which is called “Pani” in Nepalese, for their horses, which are called “Ghoda” in Nepalese hence the name “Ghorepani”. Humans did not live there as there were little to no facilities. Khiban, another scenic village located just below Ghorepani was the hotspot at the time.
