Highlights
Overview
Explore the natural beauty, cultural heritage, and adventure activities in and around the Kathmandu Valley with the popular Kathmandu, Chitlang, and Kulekhani tour itinerary. After visiting UNESCO-designated monuments, the tour typically starts with a drive to Chitalng. A little village called Chitlang is situated around 22 kilometers from Kathmandu in the southern portion of the Kathmandu Valley. Organic farming, a traditional way of life, and breathtaking scenery are the village’s main draws. Hiking, birdwatching, and socializing with the locals are among the activities available to visitors who can explore the area on foot or by bicycle. After that, we travel to Kulekhani, a picturesque location 65 kilometers from Kathmandu in the Sindhupalchowk district. The Kulekhani Dam, one of the largest in Nepal, and the hydroelectricity project in the vicinity are well-known. Adventure activities abound in Kulekhani for visitors to enjoy, including hiking, boating, fishing, and camping. For those who are curious about the project and its effects on the neighborhood, the Kulekhani Hydropower Station also provides guided excursions.
