Various hill castes, Brahmin (Bahun in Nepali), Kshetriya (Chhetri in Nepali) and ethnic group like Rai reside within this beautiful area. This is the Place where Rudrakshya trees are grown naturally in the forest as well as individually on people's land.
Champe is the other small town where people from surrounding villages come and sell their products. This happens every 15 days and is called Hatiya. Balankha (Walangkha) is one of the growing towns in the southwest are of Bhojpur. Another town Ghoretar, southeast of Bhojpur, has been a center point of trade, education and administration for a long time. It is famous as Hatuwa Gadi "a powerful Fort of Kirat king Sunahang" in Kirant history.
Balankha borders with neighboring Khotang district's Bupung village. Balankha is slowly emerging as another hub of education, communication, health and trade. The most distinctive thing about Balankha is its famous Chhongkha Chandi celebration. It is the Kirat Rai festival when Rais go to 'Chandi Than' at Dammarkhu village of Khotang (across the river Buwa Khola), pray for good harvest and rain.
