The Kathmandu valley (1300m) is surrounded by tier of green mountain walls above which tower mighty snowcapped peaks. A full picturesque view of the valley is received by this trek only. This is the best trek to see, enjoy, view and experience the life around the Kathmandu valley. The route is comfortable full of green fields and settlements of the people who are apparently encroached by the modern urban life of the Kathmandu city but are unable to leave their way of traditional life of peasantry and self sustained economy.

generous views of the surroundings. The most famous temple in Nepal,
Pashupatinath, cannot be visited by non-Hindus. That said, the setting,
