Pharping and Champadevi One Day Hiking

Posted on July 2, 2025July 14, 2025 by Merhaba Kailash Adventure

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu, this one-day hike to Champadevi Hill is the perfect escape. It’s an excellent opportunity to enjoy the fresh mountain air, be surrounded by nature, and experience some of Nepal’s rich spiritual traditions along the way.

We start the day with a quick drive out of Kathmandu to Pharping, a quiet little village tucked away in the hills. It’s known for its sacred caves and ancient monasteries, and hundreds of years, people have come here seeking peace and spiritual meaning. Walking through this peaceful town, you’ll feel a calmness that’s hard to find in the city, surrounded by prayer flags fluttering gently in the breeze and monks quietly going about their day.

From there, the hike starts through tall pine forests. The path is steady but gentle, and as you walk, you’ll hear birds singing and feel the soft rustle of the trees above you. The fresh air fills your lungs, and with every step, the noise of the city fades away more and more.

The trail ascends, and once you reach the top of the Champadevi Hill, your eyes will be filled with the breathtaking panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley. If you’re lucky and the weather is clear, you’ll witness the scenic, majestic mountains in the distance.

Also, there is a temple dedicated to the Goddess Champadevi, where you can worship. Buddhists also place sacred significance on the Champadevi Hill. The hilltop is adorned with numerous stupas, chortens, and prayer flags.

After staying there for about an hour or two, we will then hike back. This is the most scenic hiking trail in Nepal, so don’t forget your cameras, which will capture lots of memories for you to take home.

Kathmandu Valley Relaxation Tour – 08 days

Posted on July 2, 2025July 14, 2025 by Merhaba Kailash Adventure

This 08 days Kathmandu valley Relaxation Tour is all about getting to know the real Kathmandu Valley—at your own pace. For eight days, you’ll explore ancient temples, walk through quiet old towns, breathe in the fresh air from hillside viewpoints, and get a feel for how people live, pray, and celebrate here.

You’ll start in Kathmandu, which might feel a bit busy at first, but that’s part of its charm. You’ll wander through Thamel and Durbar Marg, perhaps stopping for street food or chatting with shopkeepers. Then we dive into the heart of the valley, where places like Swayambhunath, with prayer flags fluttering in the wind, and Pashupatinath, where life and death converge on the banks of a holy river, await us. At Bouddhanath, you’ll see monks walking around the stupa while soft chants and incense fill the air.

But it’s not all temples and rituals. You’ll also visit towns like Bhaktapur and Patan, where the streets are lined with red-brick houses and carved wooden windows. You’ll pass potters, weavers, and kids playing in the courtyards—life still moves slowly here.

To balance things out, we take you to peaceful places like Osho Tapoban, a forest retreat where people come just to be still, and Pharping, a quiet village with sacred caves and soft mountain air. There’s also a ride up to Chandragiri Hills—a quick escape from the city, with open skies and views of the Himalayas on a clear day.

And somewhere in between all that, we make time for simple moments—like walking through Asan Bazaar, where you’ll smell spices, hear bells ringing, and maybe buy something small to take home.

Exploring Nepal – 17 Days

Posted on July 1, 2025August 25, 2025 by Merhaba Kailash Adventure

This 17-day tour is not just about seeing the locations of Nepal, but experiencing it genuinely. This tour lets you pay closer attention and experience a more profound sense of connection to the environment, culture, and yourself. It takes you from the holy stupas & temples of Kathmandu to serene rural paths, from lowland jungle safaris to Himalayan sunrises.

Starting in the center of the Kathmandu Valley, you will see historic palaces, revered temples, and lively districts that are teeming with customs and history. From there, you’ll travel leisurely via sleepy hill towns like Panauti, Dhulikhel, and Nagarkot, where serene country walks and Himalayan sunrises beckon you to take your time and appreciate everything.

From there, the journey takes a turn toward the wild and the peaceful, beginning with Chitwan, where nature is right at your doorstep. You’ll glide down a quiet river in a canoe, go on safari drives through the jungle, and spot rhinos, deer, and all kinds of birds along the way. It’s a place where the air smells like earth and trees, and the evenings come alive with traditional music and dance from the local Tharu community.

Then it’s on to Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha. It’s calm and quiet there—monasteries from all over the world tucked into peaceful gardens, prayer flags fluttering in the breeze, and a stillness that invites you to slow down and just be present.

After that, you’ll arrive in Pokhara, the kind of place that makes you want to stay longer than planned. Mornings start with mountain reflections in Phewa Lake, days are filled with visits to caves, waterfalls, and temples, and the evenings? Perfect for unwinding by the water or catching sunset from a peaceful hilltop. And when you’re ready for a little more adventure, a short hike to Dhampus village gives you open skies, mountain views, and a quiet look at life in the hills.

Then, while returning to Kathmandu, we will spend a night in Bandipur, a mountain village with cobblestone alleys, traditional Newari dwellings, and breathtaking panoramic views of mountains.

Once you return to Kathmandu, you will have memories, experiences, and emotions that are impossible to capture in photographs. Perhaps it’s the tranquility of the mountains at sunrise, the smile of a local child, the thrill of seeing a rhino in the wild, or the peaceful delight of savoring tea on a hilltop.

This is a beautifully curated tour that lets you explore not only a particular country, but also yourself and the people who live there. Upon departing, a fragment of Nepal remains delicately nestled within your spirit.
