Exploring and sightseeing around Kathmandu valley can be one of the exotic scenic and pleasant experience of Nepal that can be organized throughout the year. The area lies in a transition zone between subtropical and temperate climate that is harboring the wild animals like sloth bear, leopard, barking deer, wild boar, common langur-the white monkey and wide variety of birds. The heart alluring panoramic views of Himalayas like Mt. Everest (8848m), Manaslu Himal (8163m), Cho Oyu Himal(8153m), Gauri-Shankar Himal(7145m), Bauddha Himal(6672m), Langtang Lirung(7246m), Dorje Lakpa(6990m), Ganesh Himal(7249m), Purbi Chyachu etc and meandering river valleys to the north east and bowl shaped populated valley to the south west add the more attraction in the natural beauty.

Shivapuri Watershed and Wildlife Reserve area is one of the main sources of drinking water for densely populated Kathmandu that was previously the main source of fuel-wood. Due to the easy access, comfortable, pleasant and short duration trip with unique views, many foreign and domestic tourists do this trek.

We also save the time for Pokhara (the Lakeside City with magnificent view of Fishtail Mountain, Annapurna and Dhaulagiri) and Chitwan listed in Wo'''''''' rld Heritage Site (the famous National Park of Nepal for unique flora and fauna).
