Kakani, a charming hill station located just 23 km north of Kathmandu Valley, offers breathtaking views of the Himalayas. From Ganesh Himal to Manaslu and Langtang range, the panoramic vistas of these majestic peaks leave visitors in awe. Kakani is a must-visit destination for trekkers embarking on the Langtang Valley Trek, as it lies along their route. However, this popular hill station is not only favored by trekkers but also attracts tourists seeking day hikes, outings, picnics, and more.

During the months of February to April, locals sell the sweetest strawberries that will undoubtedly tantalize your taste buds. Kakani is also renowned for its local wines, brandy, and flavored drinks made from kiwi and strawberries, making it an ideal destination for an enjoyable hike.

Embarking on the Kakani Budhanilkantha Day Hiking route, you’ll delight in the beauty of the Kakani Hilltop before continuing your journey towards Budhanilkantha. Along the hiking trail, you’ll pass through picturesque villages, surrounded by breathtaking scenery. As you traverse the dense forests, you’ll encounter diverse flora, fauna, and wildlife within the Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park. Finally, after 4-6 hours of hiking at an easy pace, you’ll reach the endpoint at Budhanilkantha. This section of the hike offers an excellent opportunity to experience terraced landscapes, traditional houses, Himalayan peaks, and untouched dense forests.

Highlights of the Kakani Budhanilkantha Day Hiking in 2023 include hiking trails meandering through lush forests, sightseeing in Budhanilkantha, observing the local rural life along the route, panoramic views of Himalayan peaks blending with verdant valleys, experiencing the rich biodiversity of the Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, and indulging in the flavors of kiwi and strawberry products, including their brandy and drinks.

This perfect 5-6 hour hike will surely leave you with lasting memories and plenty of picturesque moments to capture. At the end of the trek, you will be transported back to Kathmandu. Before bidding farewell, take a short visit to the Budhanilkantha temple. Our driver will then transfer you to your hotel, marking the end of your Kakani Budhanilkantha Day Hiking experience.
