Weekend Trip to Kalinchowk

Kalinchowk? YES! The most visited destination from Kathmandu Valley for more than 3 years, regularly.

Kalinchowk is the most visited winter wonderland which is also accessible from Kathmandu within one day. I must say, it is the most suitable destination for weekends escapes around Kathmandu. Located at an elevation of 3,842 meters it lies about 148 kilometers to the east of the valley in Dolakha district. For the merrymakers, who want to experience white winter, high altitude, stunning views, and light adventures with small efforts, then this can be a good pick for your winter escape. Furthermore, Kalinchowk Bhagwati is more popular for the pilgrimage site and spiritual destination for Hindus.

Once, it is the most flocked destination in winter in recent years. Another attraction for this is Kuri village, a small settlement located at the foothills of Kalinchowk Bhagwati shrine. Kuri is apparently serving as an accommodation hub for visitors. It takes about 45 minutes to one hour of a hike to reach the top of the shrine from Kuri. Luckily, these days, there is the provision of Cable Car, being the second cable car.
