Being 40 km from Kathmandu, Balthali village is so pure in nature. Our 5 days trek organized by Shree is worth it because most of the trekking is through village like Nagarkot where we experience the sunrise, Dhulikhel where we witnessed panoramic views of Himalayas, Namobuddha where we visit the incredible ancient Buddhist Stupa. Balthali is among the best where one can enjoy the typical Nepali village and magnificent landscape. Early morning sunrise view can be experienced from Balthali. The trip is really a good combination of nature, religion and culture. Recommending the company to those who really wants to make their holiday wonderful.

Additional Information

This is ADVENTURE travel, and many of the trip destinations in this site are remote areas, within under developed countries, where events are less predictable than is usually the case in. The unexpected is the norm in these areas and, despite painstaking planning and organization, our adventure trips can never be taken for granted like regular trips. Many of the places that we visit do not have the same quality of emergency health and safety services that you are used to in the developed world. Internal flights can be canceled, road transport is generally uncomfortable and unreliable, and hotels often do not approach the standards of the West.

 

IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THIS, YOU SHOULD NOT TRAVEL WITH US. This unpredictability also means that the itineraries that we put forward for each of our trips should be seen as statements of intent, rather than as contractual obligations. A variety of factors, including weather, transport difficulties and political instability, might dictate that we change any itinerary. The trip leader will make any changes that are necessary, after consultation with the group. Only rarely will such changes be significant, and we will always do everything within our powers to minimize the effects of the enforced changes. We cannot be held responsible for the results of changes or delays, irrespective of how they are caused.
