Mystical Sailung
Sailung peak itself is a mystical place, and a holy area for both Hindus and Buddhists. It sits at an altitude of 3,146 metres, with open rolling hills and hundreds of small hillocks. Famed for having the best sunrise in Nepal, with a 180 degree panoramic view of the mountains and a 360 degree view of the surrounding area, it is truly breathtaking. Our camp site at Kholakharka lies just below Sailung peak, just a 25 minute walk away.
Walking to a Himalayan Backdrop
Enjoy some enthralling walking, along well-trodden paths and terraced fields dotted with tiny stone temples, with some steep ascents. Walk across dramatic hillsides through forest, open pastures, past scattered villages and yak sheds, with views of the towering Himalayan peaks beyond. Walking here is excellent, with walks of 5-6 hours between villages. The mountain vistas are truly spectacular, with extensive views across the Himalayan peaks, including the magnificent Annapurna range.
Your holiday includes transfers to the hills, accommodation in the village guesthouses and at Dhulikhel and Kathmandu, with all meals provided during your stay in the communities and your own guide through the hills. In the cities and during transfers, meals are at your own expense. As the guesthouses provide simple twin bedroom accommodation, this holiday is offered to single travellers on a shared-room basis.
As this is a group holiday, it is not possible to add extra nights during your stay in the hills. If you wish to add an extra night in Kathmandu before or after the itinerary, this can be arranged.
