Hiking in Nepal is one of the best explorations for the tourists. Hiking is a comfortable walking through the countryside and is a great oppertunity to visit cultural and traditional Nepali villages with beautiful temples and monasteries. Tourists can view the beautiful snowcapped mountains and green hills and fields during the hiking.

Most of the hiking routes are not far from the city area that allow us to get back to the hotel in the city after hiking. But some hiking packages require overnight stay in the beautiful tourist standard hotels or resorts outside the Kathmandu city.
