Overview:
Kathmandu valley Trek is a short trekking trip especially designed for people with limited time and wishing to escape out of hustle and bustle of city life. To the rim of Kathmandu valley, this trip takes our visitors to some of the stunning hill stations of Nepal.
Moving out from cultural integrity of Kathmandu, this trip mostly wanders through Shivapuri National Park. Shivapuri peak is probably the best view point of Kathmandu city. The rich variety of flora and fauna found within the short distance is another rewarding experience. Trekking to Chisapani and Nagarkot reveal picturesque mountains along with flavoring sunrise over their sky dominating peaks. In other side one can feel Nepali people’s friendly and hospitable manner of welcoming guest. Join us to gain a lifelong experience about Nepali village life.
