Experience the quintessential Nepali countryside - green terraced fields, deep valleys, high snowcapped Himalayas, lush forests, grazing cattle, ancient temples, great food and cheeky smiles - all the while trudging on mighty fine trails!
In light of the pandemic, several safety and health protocols are in full effect. Well-being of our trekkers is our top priority. Bookings are now more flexible, with possible full refund upon cancellation.
A short steep uphill at the start, rewarded by spectacular 360-degree views of mountains, hills and valleys. | |
From our snack point, the chaos of Kathmandu can be seen afar on left, in stark contrast to her green hilly counterpart to the right. Mountains reign on the horizon. | |
Gradual walk along the ridge and edge of hills, through quaint countryside, crazy landscapes and pine forests. | |
Awesome natural trails much of the hike. They are wide and clearly defined, which means little to no leeches. | |
Old Newari town of Panauti, where we explore ancient temples and taste lip-smacking local food. | |
Giant statue of Hindu god Shiva that we see on the drive to trailhead. It stands at 43.5 meters or 143 feet. | |
Bonus: Our lunch spot is called Valentine Hill. |

That’s about it. Please show up on time with the required hiking gear. We don’t want to keep anyone waiting. The Itinerary section details all timings, including pickups and contact for the same. See you on the trails!
All ground transportation is on reserved, private and disinfected vehicles. For convenience, we have several pick up locations: Sanepa, Maharajgunj Chowk, Baluwatar, Naxal and Lazimpat. We will also briefly stop at Ring Road (location depends on which direction we’re driving). Returning will be the same way back. Depending on the finishing point, Ring Road drop off can be different.
We’re a bunch of trail rats who love to explore the outdoors. For several months since the trail races came to a halt, we’ve been scouting trails (more than we should) all over the valley, and indeed have found some really interesting ones. We’re eager to share this adventure with you in a safe, fun and organized manner. We’ll do our best to give you, your family and friends a great day out in the outdoors.
• | Light trail shoes with good traction (no sandals or slippers) |
• | Tee and a light jacket (mornings are cold) |
• | Hiking shorts/pants |
• | Water bottle |
• | Rain jacket |
• | Toilet paper |
• | Mask (when not on trails) |
• | Sanitizer |
• | High spirits |
• | Small backpack |
• | Sunglasses with UV protection |
• | Sunscreen |
• | Hiking poles |
There’s no rush and we’ll be taking it easy on the trails, with plenty of pauses to catch our breath and admire the views. We move as a group, and the lead guide will set the pace.
The trails go through several villages where there are unleashed dogs. To avoid any dog fights, attacks and commotion, we do not allow pets (cats, dogs etc) on Valley Hikes.
When nature calls, we find a bush – at least in many cases. Shops and eateries can be scarce on the trails (your guide will let you know), but do carry toilet paper in case you need to do your business mid hike.
If you want to listen to music, please use headphones, and not speakers. Doesn’t harm listening to chirpy birds, fluttering prayer flags and chatty grannies.
Your call. If you’re happy with our services, feel free to tip them something. You can give it to the lead guide and s/he will distribute evenly to everyone.
Illegal substances, including marijuana, are strictly prohibited on our hikes. No vandalism or scribbling on walls/trees. Alcohol in very limited amounts is allowed (nothing more than that for safety reasons). We highly discourage giving money to locals or kids on the way – this only feeds begging culture, inevitably leading to laziness, entitlement, no incentive to work and a lack of dignity, already a rampant problem in Nepal.
You get good phone signal (and 3G data) on all the hikes, except in narrow ravines (which there are few to none).
Really depends on your habits, but Rs. 1500 extra (not even) should do fine.
We appreciate and are very responsive to feedback. Please don’t hesitate tell us what you think about the hikes. We’ll do our best to improve.
Because we need to know how many people are coming (transportation, food, coordination), please pay by Friday 10am (one day before hike) to confirm your spot.
If you cannot show up for any reason, most overheads will still already have been incurred, hence we are unable to refund or transfer the funds. In the unlikely event that the hike is cancelled, full amount will be refunded.
