Hiking in Nepal >> Kakani Day Hiking

Kakani is located 29km northwest of Kathmandu at an elevation of 2002m. The 1½ hr journey from Kathmandu goes up a beautiful scenic road. where you can see a fantastic view of the northwestern Himalayan ranges from Kakani. You can see Ganesh Himal (7,111m), Manaslu (8,163m), Garuishanker (7,134m) and Annapurna I (8,091m). The sunrise and sunset are especially impressive. Besides viewing the mountain there is nothing really to do. It is a good idea to stay overnight, because usually the views are better in the morning, before the cloud cover the scenery.

Kakani is at one hour distance by a car and a motorbike from Kathmandu but if you want to enjoy the nature more than you should try the bicycle trip to Kakani. You can refresh yourself in a number of restaurants on the way to Kakani. In Kakani itself you'll find several budget accommodations to spend the night
