Tapethok

Tapethok is a village development committee (VDC) located in the Taplejung District of Nepal, within the Province No. 1. VDCs are the lowest level of local government in Nepal, serving as an administrative unit for a collection of villages or wards. The Tapethok VDC manages local resources, implements government programs, and facilitates community development initiatives. Its population is primarily engaged in agriculture, with livestock rearing also playing a significant role. The area is characterized by its hilly terrain and rural setting. Access to infrastructure and services may be limited compared to urban areas. The economy is largely subsistence-based, though some residents may be involved in small-scale trade or tourism-related activities depending on the proximity to trekking routes or other attractions. The administrative center for the Tapethok VDC is typically located within the VDC boundaries.
