Prepare to witness the most breathtaking view of the Kathmandu Valley from the top, an astonishing sight that will leave you in awe. Alongside the majestic Himalayan panorama, immerse yourself in the lush green forests and encounter a diverse range of bird species. This journey allows you to discover new places and forge connections with interesting individuals.
After a satisfying breakfast, we embark on a 29-kilometer drive north of Kathmandu to reach Kakani. The drive itself is an adventure, as we pass through numerous villages, navigating the winding road that seems to stretch endlessly. The scenery along the way is nothing short of magnificent. However, the true beauty awaits us upon our arrival in Kakani, as the entire vista unfolds before us on the north side, captivating our senses. To the north, we are graced with a panoramic view of some of the world's highest mountains, including Manaslu, Annapurna, Ganesh Himal, Gaurishankar, and many more.
From the main viewpoint, a plethora of fascinating hikes are available towards the northeast. Additionally, you'll find a century-old summer villa that was once utilized by the British Embassy, as well as a memorial park commemorating the victims of the 1992 Thai Airways Flight 311 accident.
If we visit between February and April, we'll have the opportunity to indulge in the local delicacy of freshly picked strawberries, sold by the locals. Trust me, their strawberries are unrivaled in flavor and quality.
Our hike commences from Kakani, leading us through dense forests and onward to Alle, culminating at Budhanilkantha. This exhilarating hike spans approximately 5 to 6 hours. However, we have the flexibility to allocate additional time for rest, photography, and savoring the experience in our own unique style.

Overview
After breakfast, we drive 29 kms north of Kathmandu to Kakani. The drive itself is interesting as we get past numerous villages negotiating the road that seems to have never ending bends. The scenery on the way is magnificent. But the thing of true beauty is saved for the moment we arrive in Kakani - the whole vista just opens up on the north side as we get off our vehicle. To the north are some of the world's highest mountains including Manaslu, Annapurna, Ganesh Himal, Gaurishankar and many (yes many mountains).
From the main viewpoint, there are a lot of interesting hikes possible towards north-east. There is also a century old summer villa used by the British Embassy a long ago as well as the memorial park that commemorates the victims of 1992 Thai Airways Flight 311 accident.
If we are there between February to April, we will see local people selling fresh strawberries. Trust me, their strawberries are best in the world.
We start our hike from Kakani, walk past dense forests and continue via Alle to finally end our hike at Budhanilkantha. It is a really good hike of 5 to 6 hrs. But we can take more time to rest and take photographs to enjoy on our own style.
