We'll drive about an hour and a half to Namobuddha, walk about three and a half hours through rice terraces, then follow a dirt road to Panauti for lunch before the drive home. Ages 5 and up join this two-day hike. 📋 Key Details Days: Two days from Kathmandu Ages: 5 and up Start: 8:00 hotel pickup Drive: About 1.5 hours to Namobuddha Night: One resort night in Balthali, with campfire 🥾 What to Expect We'll collect you from your Kathmandu hotel at 8:00 and drive about an hour and a half to Namobuddha. You'll have time at Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery, then walk about three and a half hours through rice terraces and farmhouses to Balthali. The resort hosts meet you with drinks and snacks. Later you'll sit by a campfire, then eat a Nepali dinner and sleep at the resort. The next morning you'll walk a dirt road through small villages and terraced fields to Panauti. You'll explore the old Newar town, its temples and stupas, and have lunch before we drive you back to the same Kathmandu hotel. Lunch and dinner are included on day one, and breakfast and lunch on day two. Cover shoulders and knees for the monastery. 📍 Location Rice terraces meet the Roshi and Ladhku rivers around Balthali, a village of thatched houses on the southeast rim of the Kathmandu Valley. From the resort you can watch sunrise over the Manaslu hills when the weather is clear. Namobuddha is a pilgrimage village around Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery, remembered as the place where a prince offered his body to a starving tigress and her cubs. Panauti sits among paddy fields with temples and stupas, reached on foot along the dirt road from Balthali. Both stay close enough to Kathmandu that the walking days never leave the valley rim for long. ✅ Prerequisites You do not need previous trekking experience. You should be happy walking for several hours on dirt paths and a dirt road, with a night away from the city. Day one covers about three and a half hours on foot. The minimum age is 5. Bring a passport, sturdy shoes, and clothes that cover shoulders and knees for the monastery. Younger walkers should be used to a full day on their feet. 💛 Why Choose Us Valley nights are booked from our Lazimpat office before you leave the city, so the Balthali resort and the campfire evening are waiting when you walk in.

We'll collect you from your Kathmandu hotel at 8:00 and drive about an hour and a half to Namobuddha. After time at the monastery you'll walk about three and a half hours to Balthali village, where you stay the night at a resort. The next morning you'll walk down to the Newar town of Panauti, have lunch, and drive back to Kathmandu. Lunch and dinner are included on day one; breakfast and lunch are included on day two. ### Are meals included? Yes. Lunch and dinner are included on the first day, and breakfast and lunch on the second. Dinner at the resort is a Nepali meal such as dhindo or rice with chicken from the village. Drinks on the campfire, including local wine, are part of the evening welcome. Personal snacks, extra drinks, and tips are not included. ### Where do we sleep? You'll sleep one night at a resort in Balthali, at the meeting of the Roshi and Ladhku rivers. Hosts welcome you with drinks and light snacks, and there is time to walk around the village before dinner. In the evening guests gather around a campfire. Bring a warm layer, because village nights can turn cool even after a warm afternoon on the trail. ### Is this suitable for children? The minimum age is 5. Children walk the same trail as the adults, with hotel pickup in Kathmandu and a resort night in the village. The walking is graded easy, but you still cover several hours on dirt paths and a dirt road. Younger walkers should be used to a full day on their feet and happy to stay away from the city for one night. ### How fit do I need to be? You do not need previous trekking experience. You should be able to walk for about three and a half hours on day one and a similar stretch down to Panauti on day two. The paths pass terraced fields and small villages. Sturdy hiking shoes help on steep village trails. We'll walk at a pace the group can hold. ### What should I pack? Bring sturdy hiking shoes, a 20 to 30 litre daypack, a reusable water bottle, layered clothing, a light rain jacket, and a sun hat. Cover shoulders and knees for the monastery at Namobuddha. A copy of your identification, sunscreen, insect repellent, a power bank, and some local cash are useful in the village. Cards are not widely accepted in small shops. Your passport is required on the trip. ### What will we see at Namobuddha? Namobuddha is a Buddhist pilgrimage village. You'll visit Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery, known as the place where the Buddha, in a previous life as a prince, offered his body to a starving tigress and her cubs. Dress modestly at the monastery. Your guide will give you time at the shrines before the walk to Balthali begins. ### What is Panauti like? Panauti is one of the older Newar towns in the valley, with temples that date from the 15th century and earlier, Buddhist stupas, and streets set among paddy fields. You'll reach it on foot from Balthali along a dirt road through villages and terraces, then have lunch before the drive back to Kathmandu. ### Can I cancel? You can cancel up to 24 hours before the trip for a full refund, in line with the Flexible policy. If weather closes a trail or the road, we'll talk through a new date with you. Keep your passport with you, as it is required on the trip. ### Where do we meet? We'll collect you from your hotel in Kathmandu at 8:00. Have the hotel name ready when you book so the driver can find you. Pickup is for hotels inside the city. If you are staying outside the ring road, tell us when you book so we can plan the extra drive. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/07b78c81-d9e9-402a-a02d-d7b6f11bd7df-1.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
