Kakani is a hill station on the northern side of Kathmandu. It is in Nuwakot district, 29km (18 miles) away from Kathmandu and is accessible by road. The drive takes just 1.5 hours. This place is famous for its breathtaking scenery and there is a lot of potential for day hiking. The tranquility of the surroundings give you immense pleasure and the Himalayan mountains like Annapurna, Machhapuchhre, Ganesh, Langtang, Manaslu and Gaurishankar can be viewed from there.

Our private hike offered breathtaking views that made every step worthwhile, and we truly appreciated the chance to engage with local culture along the way. One unforgettable moment was when we reached a high vantage point, where the scenery unfolded in a stunning panorama that we couldn’t help but photograph. The transport to the trailhead was seamless, though it would have been nice to have a bit more time to explore the area at the end.

We found ourselves captivated by the breathtaking views and rich cultural experiences during our hike through the scenic landscape. The private nature of the tour allowed us to immerse ourselves in the local culture while enjoying the serene surroundings. One highlight was standing atop a ridge, where the panorama stretched endlessly; it was the perfect spot for some team photos and reflection.

Our day hiking in Kakani was a delightful mix of scenic views and cultural immersion that truly enriched our experience in Kathmandu in Nepal. We were captivated by the stunning panorama of the Himalayas and the lush landscapes, which made the effort worthwhile. A suggestion for improvement would be to include more local snacks along the way to complement the beautiful surroundings and enhance the cultural experience.
