A wonderful way of discovering
the countryside around Kathmandu.
The hiking program is planned in a
manner that will take the visitor
past fields, hamlets and forests with
a backdrop of mountains. At the end
of the day, the visitor is back to
the modern comforts of a first class
hotel. Of course, should one not feel
like it, one can miss out a particular
day and still continue the following
day, a luxury that is not possible
while one is on a trek. We hike to
various vantage-points in the Kathmandu
valley and while on the return, visit
some historical or cultural center
