Overview
Serenity of Kathmandu Valley and surrounding hills, mountains and city follow us as we make our way up to Bosan, on the edge of south-west Kathmandu. We make a brief stop at White House hill to catch a fine sweeping glimpse of fields below merging into the urbanscape of Kirtipur and Chobar, and then onto layers of hills and the grand Himalayan giants Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Langtang, Rolwaling and even Everest, on a clear day.
Mini Hikes are half-day hikes organized periodically, in addition to our regular, longer hikes.
- Half-ish day version of our classic valley hikes
- Great quick escapes for all outdoor enthusiasts
- Perfect distance and terrain if you’re new to trails with the right amount of challenge
- You get home by early afternoon
Highlights
| Sweeping panorama of the city, hills and mountains seen from White House hill and the climb up. On a clear day, you can see mountain ranges Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh, Langtang, Rolwaling and tiny bits of Khumbu mountains, including Everest | |
| Watch the sprawling city merge into mountains on the horizon | |
| Tea break at Lemon Grass resort, overlooking said panorama | |
| Quaint villages with old Nepali houses, and traditional lifestyle, especially in Bosan | |
| Gradual and scenic downhill trails to the bottom of White House hill | |
| NB: There is some trail overlap with our popular Bosan Pine Hike |
