Change is a village development committee in the Himalayas of Taplejung District in the Province No. 1 of north-eastern Nepal. At the time of the 2011 Nepal census it had a population of 4034 people living in 861 individual households.[1]

This Village Development Committee (now changed to Gaun Palika, गाँऊ पालिका)[citation needed] is mainly inhabited by Limbu and Mongolian ethnic groups, more specifically Angbuhang, an indigenous tribe.[citation needed] This VDC produces cash crops like oranges, cardamom and tobacco.[citation needed] West/south to North/east orientation of land and south facing slope has provided opportunity to get more sunny hours.[citation needed] Change has the hiking route (now being introduced as a rhododendron hiking trail) Taplejung-Gorja-Basantapur, which passes from the middle along its length.[citation needed]
