As of 2011 census, Saping village has 786 households with 3,246 individuals, 1,472 males and 1,774 females (CBS Nepal 2012), and under the "new" federal structure, formed by a new constitution, adopted on 20 September 2015, Saping is now a part of Bhumlu Gaupalika (in English: Bhumlu Rural Municipality) and is organized as Ward Number 1 (out of 10 small government units called 'wards', cf.

As a mixed ethnic and linguistic community, Saping has several well known travel destinations, including holy sites like Mulkharka Bhimsenthan and Saping Siddhi Ganesh Temple - both of which can be reached using vehicles or on foot from Dolalghat town, as a part of a (day or two) trekking adventure.

There is a newly opened ruggy track from Silame Bhir (just above Sunkoshi river banks at Dolaghat [4]), which is gradually being upgraded, but as of 2020 it is not yet clear how far this road network will be developed and whether it will be linked to other long routes in the surrounding districts of Sindhupalchok, Dolakha, Ramechhap, etc.

Electricity has reached the villagers and as of February 2020 wooden poles have been upgraded with metal ones, making it a bit better lasting in the years ahead.

There is a small health post nearby Lakuri Danda, where also Saping's (i.e. ward number one's) government unit is located, which was built during the post-2015 earthquakes reconstruction.
