Kathmandu Valley Family Hike is special hiking package for family group and easy walking lovers.
Traveling with family is fun but some of the destinations are out of reach for all the members of the family because of variation in age and physical fitness. This package is designed taking into considerations of individuals of every age group to provide you the best experience of traveling with your family. Moreover, this is also one of the best packages for the travelers who don’t want to travel a long way from the valley.
There are places around the city which can be the perfect destinations for family hiking. The Kathmandu valley is rich in culture and traditions as well. Here are temples dating back to the fifth century and some of the greatest stone, wood and metal sculpture in the world. Among the places you visit are: the ancient palace complexes; the better known temples of the Valley; a sixteen hundred year old stupas a top of a hill; one of the largest stupas in the world; Pasupatinath, among the most important pilgrimages sites of the Hindus; Budhanilkantha, where the Preserver Vishnu reclines; a temple of the angry Mother Goddess who demands sacrifice of animals.
The valley treks begin from Budhanilkantha and ascend to the hill tops of Nagarjun, Nagarkot and Dhulikhel via a trek down to Changu Narayan and drive. Both places will offer the panoramic view stretching from Annapurna in the west to Mt. Everest in the East. The treks continue via the famous Buddhist monastery of Namo Buddha then descend to the typical Newari village of Panauti, where we camp.
The next day we climb to the highest point of the valley, Phulchowki, which offers the most fantastic view of the valley with the backdrop of the Himalayas. After our camp at Godavari, the botanical garden, we conclude our trek at Pharping crossing through many typical Newari villages on the way.
