It is one of the most of the eye-catching and magnificent trekking areas of Nepal, located in just day hike distance from Khopra Hill. It was discovered and was started to be used as a trekking route only a few years ago. The trek unlike others merges and blends in natural beauty with culture unknown to outside world. The journey combines both the element of beauty of nature in the city and the beauty of Himalaya and greenery.
The trek route though remains less crowded and has fewer tourists than other trails in this region.

We did the 12-day itinerary trekking to Everest Base Camp. We booked it all from England and communicated with the owner Hari via email. Such a nice family that owns and runs this business. Very friendly and welcoming. We had loads of cups of tea with them in their shop in Thamel before and after our trek.
