Trip Introduction
Overview of Dhading Day Hike
The Dhading Day Hike takes you to the ethnic community (Tamang) in Upper Khani Khola, 9-Dhunbesi, Dhading. The destination is about a 25-kilometer drive from Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu. It is located about 14 km from Kalanki Chowk and 6 km from the Prithvi Highway, turning left from Thankot Vanjyang.
Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Manasalu (8156m), Ganesh I/Yangra (7233m), Langtang, Gosainsthan (Sishapangma), Gaurishankhar, and other Himalayan ranges can be seen on a clear morning from our commune. The major attractions here are the unbeatable landscape views along the trail. The starting point of this hike is Thankot Bhanjyang; from here, we will follow the recently constructed road to the green mountains.
The hike can be a speedy escape from Kathmandu’s busy city and schedule. The place of interest could be a great place to learn about the nature of the area.
The Dhading Day Hike is also an additional activity to acclimatize your body before starting your main trek. You can use this hike to preview what to expect on your main journey through the central Himalayas.
The sparkling view of snow-capped mountains and pristine scenery with only a few settlements in a short time will help you learn about the environment and way of life as you are immersed in it.
In an effort to serve your broad interests and enhance the holiday flavor, we have developed the optimal method for observing Dhading. You can pick the plan that suits your preferences to reconnect with your natural existence.
Dhading Core Hiking
The increasing prevalence of technology in our lives has contributed to a global culture of isolation. Walking and being in nature stimulate our senses, allowing us to listen to what is happening inside ourselves more clearly.
Dhading Day Hike is guided to unionize two extreme divisions, which brings you to oneness. Immersing in the dazzling Himalayas, green hills, and native peoples is a technique for awareness. We hope to adapt your interests broadly by bringing you on a Dhading Day Hike, where you can experience a sense of complete joy.
Dhading Yoga
Due to workload or a particularly stressful stage, we are often overloaded with toxins. Relaxing your body, i.e., performing yoga, allows you to connect with nature and helps restore harmony.
Yoga in Dhading is for you to be in nature and practice yoga. Being in Dhading and relaxing your body while being in nature brings us back into an awakening state. We get to enjoy all of the benefits of the practice while being held by the five elements. Nature’s connection reduces our disturbance and expands our awareness, bringing us closer to ourselves.
Dhading Camping
As a result of technological progress or physical improvement, individuals are becoming increasingly cut off from their natural environment. When you are physically connected to the ground through everyday life, your body benefits more from the earth.
Spending time in nature, such as on a camping trip, allows you to feel more in tune with the earth’s sun, water, wind, sky, and other natural balancing components that may aid in self-realization and growth.
Dhading Camping is highly designed for you to existentially connect to the earth; don’t worry if you feel quite uneasy. Some signs of discomfort upon returning to reality from a comforting lifestyle are to be expected; nevertheless, there is no need to worry since this could simply be an essential part of your awakening.
Dhading Celebration
Holiday celebration during Dhading Day Hike combines the experience of the century-old festival holidays celebrated in Nepal, in the land of green Himalayas, with a journey through landscapes, and breathtaking mountain views.
Fest is to celebrate together, where togetherness helps to unionize unnecessary division of the self into wholeness. Since individuals have been preoccupied with work lately, we take this time to celebrate the holiday together.
Since it is a daily departure, we may arrange a festival on the calendar.
Itinerary of Dhading Day Hike
In the early morning, at 7 a.m., we will meet you at the NAC Bus Stop. After about an hour of driving by local bus, we will reach Thankot Vanjyang.
