Not many years ago, Jefale was an unfamiliar name for travellers in eastern Tarai. But community homestay is now significantly drawing a large number of tourists to this northern hilly location of Morang district. 

Located at Kerabari Rural Municipality-2 of Morang district, the Jephale community homestay was inaugurated on May 18, 2017 after its formal registration at the Tourism Office of Kakarbhitta, Jhapa. The informal beginning was made during 2069 BS at the initiation of the District Development Committee. 

Jefale now has eight government-certified homestays. This can accommodate around 70 guests on a day. Interestingly, local teachers run most of these homestays.
