      Exploring the charming village of बल्थली was a fantastic experience for our group, especially when we stumbled upon a hidden café that served the best momos we’ve ever had. The hike towards Namobuddha felt invigorating, and the awe-inspiring views had us stopping for photos every few minutes. It would have been even better if our guide shared a bit more information about the local culture, but overall, we left with unforgettable memories and a sense of connection to the beautiful surroundings.

      The hike was a refreshing escape, and I loved stopping in a quaint village for a delicious local meal that felt like a warm hug. Exploring the serene temples and lush landscapes was a highlight, though I wish there had been a bit more guidance on the trail to help me soak in the history.

      We loved our two-day adventure exploring the charming villages around Kathmandu, especially the hike through बल्थली in Nepal and the serene paths to Namobuddha. The meals we shared at local eateries showcased the rich flavors of Nepali cuisine, which we still talk about.
