What To Expect

When you visit Nepal for hiking, you’ll find a number of excellent trails to consider. If you would like to take advantage of the most beautiful scenery, then head for the mountains. Kakani is one of the best locations for mountain hiking because it provides you with a panoramic view of Annapurna, ganesh Himal and Manasalu Mountains. In fact, this trail is one of the best hiking in Nepal trails out there. Consider what it offers.

Not only do you get to take in some of the most beautiful mountains, you also get to enjoy the gorgeous Kathmandu Valley, an expansive, beautiful valley that is a travel destination you can’t miss.

For a great hiking in Nepal experience, consider a trip to Nagarkot. There, you’ll be able to climb an elevation to 5900 feet. It is located just east of Kathmandu Valley. The reason you’ll want to visit here is simple. Nothing can beat the sunrise and the sunset in this area. Its about a one day trip from the Kathmandu Valley and well worth it.
