Starting with a scenic drive from Kathmandu, the Dhulikhel Namobuddha Balthali hike is quite popular and gives you a glimpse of Nepal’s grandeur. You will experience the majestic mountains, village life, and traditions, along with a stroll through the country’s luscious green forests.
A fusion of Hinduism and Buddhism that you will get to see in Dhulikhel Namobuddha Balthali Hike is a fraction of what the whole of Nepal looks like. While on the trek to Dhulikhel, you can enjoy the spectacular views of Langtang mountain ranges, Ganesh Himal, and Gauri Shankar, as well as probably a glimpse of the Annapurna range on a clear day.
Similarly, when you reach Namobuddha, visit Thrangu Tashi Yangtse monastery to experience the peace and serenity of this Tibetan Buddhist pilgrimage. You can stay at the monastery’s guest house to learn more about the culture and experience the serenity. Another highlight of the trek is a tour of Newari settlements that gives you an experience of preserved cultures and traditions.
Our 3-day journey to the outskirts of Kathmandu starts early in the morning with a scenic drive to Dhulikhel on a luxury tourist vehicle. Located just 30 km away from the city center, Dhulikhel is quite a popular destination for weekend getaways for Kathmandu residents.
The hike from Namobuddha will continue after breakfast early in the morning. On this day, we will reach Balthali village, passing through the Roshi River and the bridge over it. Passing through the terraced fields, green meadows, and stoned stairs, you will reach Balthali village.
It will take around 3 to 4 hours to hike down to the Balthali village, where we will rest the night. You will stay at Balthali Village Resort to enjoy the bird’s eye view of the green terraced fields and a backdrop of the Himalayas. After enjoying your lunch in the village, you can stroll around it and see the culture and traditions of the Newari settlements.
Early the next day, we will wrap up our stay at Balthali and hike up to another Newari village in Panauti. The Khopasi village is a Newari settlement shaped like a triangle, with an idol of a serpent in each corner.
The temples of this village also feature Newari-style wooden architecture. Some of the captivating temples and stupas in this village are the Brahmyani temple, Unamanta Bahirab temple, pagoda-style temple of Indreshwor Mahadev, and a white stupa. While observing these highlights of Panauti, we will take a ride back to Kathmandu,
Since you will be walking in the hiking trails around the Kathmandu valley , a part of the Kathmandu Rim hike, you can reduce the weight you carry. But have the following thighs in your pack:
