Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, our team will welcome you and transfer you to your hotel. After check-in, relax or explore the vibrant streets of Thamel. In the evening, attend a short briefing about your upcoming trek and prepare for the adventure ahead.
Begin your day with a scenic one-hour drive to Dhulikhel, a historic town offering panoramic mountain views. From here, the trek begins with a peaceful hike to Namo Buddha, an important Buddhist pilgrimage site believed to be where a young prince offered his life to a starving tigress and her cubs. After visiting the monastery, continue walking through dense forests and terraced hillsides until you reach the tranquil village of Balthali. The full trek today takes approximately 6 hours.
Spend the day exploring the serene beauty of Balthali. Roam around its quiet trails, enjoy views of the surrounding green valleys, and interact with local villagers. This is an excellent opportunity to witness rural Nepalese life up close, far from the hustle of the city. You can also enjoy optional nature walks or simply relax in the peaceful atmosphere.
After breakfast, begin your gentle descent toward Panauti, a picturesque town known for its ancient temples, traditional Newari architecture, and cultural heritage. The hike is easy and scenic, taking around 2 to 3 hours. Upon arrival, explore the cobbled streets, temples, and local marketplaces of this beautifully preserved village.
Today, enjoy a relaxed morning before driving back to Kathmandu. The drive takes about 2 hours. Once in the city, check into your hotel and spend the rest of the day shopping for souvenirs, exploring cultural sites, or enjoying a farewell dinner.
Depending on your departure schedule, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your onward journey. Our team will ensure a smooth and comfortable farewell.
