    Phulchowki Day Hiking 1 days

    Phulchowki day hiking is among the most beautiful scenic country walks around the Kathmandu Valley rim. It takes you to the southeastern Kathmandu Valley within the Lalitpur district, often known as the Patan area.

    A great spot for an array of mountain panorama that extends from Annapurna-Manaslu and Ganesh Himal, including the Langtang and Jugal Himal in the north. Also, it offers the snowcapped view of Gaurishankar and the Everest region on the east horizon.

    Phulchowki day hiking is a perfect hiking destination with a tranquil environment within forested surroundings of tall rhododendron-oaks-pines-magnolia and fir trees. Also, offers an excellent habitat for exotic bird life and other wild animals such as leopards, wild cats, deer, and monkeys.

    A day hiking to Phulchowki takes you to the top of the hill above 2,782 m high with grand views of Kathmandu Valley. The scenic landscapes of rolling green hills and snow-capped peaks are the major attractions of the day hike.

    At present, the Phulchowki hilltop is not only famous among foreigners but also among the local city folks as well. It helps one escape from hectic city life for fresh, clean air within a pristine environment.

    • Day01

      Morning drive towards towards Lalitpur / Patan area which is located in the south of Kathmandu valley. After reaching a small town of Godavari, we hike to Phulchowki Hill with 4-5 hrs walks both ways to the road-head.

      After having a hearty breakfast, we leave the city to cross over Baghmati bridge to enter into Patan / Lalitpur district. And then, the drive leads further east reaching lovely green areas at Godavari a small town and a village. It’s a beautiful place with interesting Botanical garden also for wild herbs.

      From here the walk leads on winding uphill facing views of peaks and valley entering into more wooded areas and finally reach on top of Phulchowki hill. And, it’s the place which rewards you with a stunning panorama of Himalayan mountains and dramatic landscapes.

      After a quiet and peaceful moment with the sound of birds, we start heading downhill at Godavari. If time permits, then we visit the botanical garden. And if not, we take less an hour drive back to the hotel, with fabulous time on Phulchowki day hike.
