Ranikot Day Hike

If you're looking for a great and straightforward day hike, Ranikot is the best destination, offering natural beauty and cultural excitement. Located through the 15-kilometre barriers from Kathmandu, Ranikot is the must-do choice for those who want to escape through the city's business while still staying very close to the capital of Nepal. One of the main attractions of this hike is the fine view of the snow-tipped peaks of the Himalayas in the north. As you go through the tiniest trail and tribulations, you will be treated to the breathtaking scenes of the terraced fields, rolling all the green hills. The tremendous rural villages that brighten the landscape of Ranikot also offer a fine vantage point to admire the business and overcrowded spaces of Kathmandu Valley, giving you a sense of the valley's fine topography and the contrast between the fine city and the surrounding natural beauty. The entire hike offers an excellent opportunity to reconnect with nature and enjoy the peacefulness of Nepal's incredible landscapes.

Besides the scenic beauty, the Ranikot Day Hike allows you to engage with the local culture and community. As you walk all through the villages, you could have the chance to participate in day-to-day farming activities, such as vegetable farming. You can take fresh fruits and vegetables directly through the well-leveled fields if the season allows. This first-hand experience gives a rare glimpse into the traditional agricultural practices still widely followed at the foothills of Nepal. One of the hike's highlights is the best opportunity to witness and see the rare terrace farming methods passed down all through ages and generations. The well-organized terraced fields are not only an agricultural marvel but also the principal essential part of the cultural and economic life in the region.
