Few
people trek around the Kathmandu valley. This trek
begins at Budhanilkantha, with the option end at
Nagarkot or Dhulikhel. At Budhanilkantha, you have
the chance to see the ancient statue of Lord Vishnu
sleeping on a bed of snakes. Spectacular panoramic
views of snow capped Himalayan peaks and a magnificent
view of the sunset and sunrise, with the magical
change of color that they produce on the mountains,
will be seen from the slopes of Shivapuri, the second
highest hill in the Kathmandu Valley. The valley
rim lies between 1800 and 2800m and in spring offers
early flowering rhododendrons.
