With our Ranikot Village Day Hike from Kathmandu, you can spend a day away from the city and take in breathtaking views of the hilltop, serene forests and real village life. Ranikot provides one of the greatest off-the-beaten-path hiking experiences close to the valley and is only a short drive from Bhaktapur.

On clear days, the trail offers stunning views of the Kathmandu Valley, the Himalayan range, and even the Terai plains as it winds through verdant countryside, traditional Newari villages, and picturesque ridgelines. This walk, which has less crowds and more charm, is perfect for people who want to experience nature, culture, and peace in one day.
