Strap on your walking boots for a trek across the Kathmandu Valley’s Southern Ridge, a high-altitude area of temples, traditional villages and mesmerising mountain views filling the horizon. The Southern Ridge is also a bastion of reforestation in Nepal, with these now-verdant hills having been almost lifeless only 25 years ago.

On this guided walk you’ll be treated to some incredible hiking trails through forest and grassland, plus postcard worthy viewpoints and picnic spots courtesy of a hilltop cable car - if wanting to enjoy it all at a gentler pace.

You can add this experience to any tailor-made itinerary that includes a night in Kathmandu.
