Starting from Sundarijal, the trail ascends through dense forests of oak and rhododendron, with the sounds of rushing streams accompanying your journey. As you pass through small villages, you'll encounter traditional stone houses, terraced farms, and the friendly faces of locals tending to their crops. The path gradually opens up to panoramic views of the snow-capped Himalayas and the Kathmandu Valley below.
Spend the night in the tranquil Prakriti Resort, nestled at 2,000 meters in Shivapuri National Park, surrounded by lush greenery and terraced farms. Wake up to crisp mountain air, enjoy delicious organic meals, and witness breathtaking sunrises, all while immersing yourself in the serene beauty of nature and Nepali culture.
Bouddhanath is one of the largest stupas in the world, surrounded by Tibetan monasteries and streets teeming with life. The ancient site offers a glimpse into Buddhist culture, with spiritual rituals, wafting incense, colorful prayer flags, and spinning prayer wheels. N
The holiest Hindu temple Pashupatinath attracts pilgrims year-round, especially during Maha Shivaratri. Located by the Bagmati River, it is known for its sadhus, elaborate ceremonies, and the cremation site that reflects Hindu beliefs about life and death. The daily evening prayers enhance the sacred atmosphere, offering profound insights into Hindu spirituality and customs.

Outdoors in the Kathmandu valley is amazing in spring (March to May). The average daytime temperature is 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F). The forests are green, and rhododendrons bloom, making the trail vibrant.
Kathmandu valley receives a lot of rainfall in monsoon, so it will be very wet, humid, slippery and leechy. Nonetheless, the valley will be gorgeously green and beautiful during monsoon. Temperatures range from around 20°C to 35°C (68°F to 95°F). While early June and late September are still advisable for trekking, July and August are not very ideal.
It is the most popular time of the year to visit with clear skies and stable weather conditions. The monsoon rains will have subsided, and visibility of the mountain ranges is excellent. The temperatures range between 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F). As the region is very accessible, trails and hotels can be busy this time around.
Winter is a great time to be outdoors in Kathmandu valley. The far-off mountains on the horizon look sparkling white on clear days. The temperatures go between 10°C to 25°C (50°F to 77°F) during daytime and can go lower at night. It is very pleasant and not very cold. The trails are not very busy and lodges are operational.
