We wake up early to see sunrise through the eastern Himalayan ranges including Mt. Everest. After breakfast, we start our hiking to Changunarayan. Passing through the terraced fields, dense Tamang ocher colored traditional villages. It is amazing to see how the village so close to capital city Kathmandu still exhibits traditional lifestyle like that of remote villages. On the first part of the hiking we experience culture & life style of the native people on the trail. You many even have chance to see local people people making local wine called “Raksi”, prepared by a simple process of distillation. Second part of the hiking is more natural, passing through deciduous forest, a close watch to flora & fauna. The best of all is panorama of distant snow capped mountains in the back drop of these entire natural setting.
