Phulchowki Day Hiking Trip
£ 46.75
Literally translated as a ‘hill of flowers,’ Phulchowki is one of the highest points in Kathmandu Valley and resides in the southeast part of Kathmandu. This is one of the most beautiful hiking trails in terms of vegetation and offers the chance to sight a variety of birds. Though the walk is difficult, the wonderful views from the summit grant travelers the opportunity to enjoy nature at its finest. Traverse through tropical forests and enjoy the frequent views of the populated Kathmandu Valley. You climb almost 1600m to the top of Phulchowki and only descend about 500m. The trail has multiple shortcut routes made up of recently built stairs. Take multiple breaks and keep hydrating to endure the strenuous climb. The higher you climb, the better the views become. The trail here is a series of sharp switchbacks and will test your endurance.
