This
trekking leads an area close to Kathmandu. Yet it offers a rich
insight into the lives, history, culture and religion, together with
the picturesque daily toil in the fields of its inhabitants. The
valley rim lies between 1800 and 2800m and in spring offers early
flowering rhododendrons. In autumn and winter there are wonderful
mountain vistas which can, from certain view-points, stretch from
Everest in the east to Annapurna in the west and the major sightseeing
places in Bhaktpur, Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, Kathmandu
Durbar Square, Swoyambhunath Stupa and Patan Durbar Square.
