Nestled in Nuwakot district at an elevation of 2,100 meters, this lesser-known trail offers a refreshing blend of natural beauty and cultural charm—without the crowds.

At the end of the hike, you’ll arrive in Kakani, a scenic hill station famous for its panoramic Himalayan views and crisp mountain air.
