Valley rim trek (3 nights/4 days)

No-shopping | Group Tour

Overview

Like the name itself suggests this trek takes you around the perimeters of Kathmandu valley. The valley of Kathmandu is small, but fascinating and culturally and naturally rich. Once few kilometres away from the realms of city influence, one can enjoy the traditional lifestyle and activities in villages with views of snow-capped mountains far behind. Different Himalayan ranges and mountains like Langtang , Ganesh Himal ( 7,422m), Gauri Shankar (7,134m) and Dorje Lakpa (6,966m) can be viewed from afar in this short trek. The valley rim trek is for those who have very short time to spend here in Nepal but would like to get the most out of it. This trek is also very beneficial for those who are preparing for a longer and more adventurous trek. Viewpoints like Jhule, Dhulikhel, Nagarkot, Balthali and Chisapani offer trekkers with 180 degree view of mountains above 6000m.Ranging from 1800m to 2800 metres, this short trek gives trekkers the warmth of rural hospitality, the pleasure of going through traditional bucolic setting, insight into traditional farming ways and daily lives of rural Kathmandu. Also, beautiful sunrises and sunsets over layers of blue hills with mountains in the background, and green plantation at the foothills is something to look forward to. Trekkers can experience Mountain views of Annapurna in the far West and the Mighty Everest to the east. This trek offers camping and tea-house or lodges or home stay lodging options.
Main attractions: This trek is a complete package of merger between nature and culture. You will go through the bio-diverse Shivapuri National Park, see amazing views of Mountains like Langtang, Manashlu, Ganesh Himal and mountains views extending as far as Annapurna in the west to Everest at the east. Kathmandu valley can be seen in pan focus as well. The rich and unique culture of the Tamangs is a major attraction as well.
Best Season: As the altitude is not above 3000m, the trek is not so very difficult in winter times as well. However, spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November or early December) are considered to be the best seasons for this trek.
