30 kms east of Kathmandu lies the small resort town of Dhulikhel set on a hill top, enveloped in copper soiled terraces with magnificent views of the central Himalayan peaks. Dhulikhel is well known for its sunrise views and a number of day-trails lead along the north ridge of the town. A good way to get a glimpse of Nepalese village life.

Panauti: A few hours trek or a short drive takes you to Panauti, another Newar settlement and interesting rural village. The temple complex here sits on the conflux of three rivers, one of which is mystical. The rambling overgrown temples are an interesting places to explore.

Namo Buddha Trek: A full day trek takes you on a loop away from the resort and through the picturesque farming villages along the ridge above Dhulikhel to Namo Buddha-a holy sites for Buddhist. This revered Stupa and Monastery is set in the place where the Shakyamuni Buddha fed his own flesh to a starving tigeress. The scene is elegantly depicted in a stone carving found in a small shrine on the hill top.

Whitewater Rafting: One of Nepal’s most celebrated rivers, the Sunkoshi, is just a stones throw away from the Resort. Take a day trip on this spectacular river as it winds its way through steep gorges and open farming valleys, with plenty of adrenaline pumping rapids to keep your mind on the job! Be back at the resort in time to toast a spectacular sunset over the Himalaya.

Bhagwati Temple: Just half an hours drive takes you to the temple of the eighteen armed Goddess Bhagwati. Here you can spend time exploring the temple or take a hike of around two hours down to the Panchkhal Valley.

Tatopani Hot Spring: Head towards the Tibetan border and soak in the hot spring amidst the lush sub tropical jungle.

Jiri: Make an overnight trip to Jiri, the trekking gateway into the Everest region. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery and traditional farming villages.
