Tour Overview
Kalinchowk Trek -3 days are one of Nepal's shortest and most
beautiful trekking. Unlike other short treks in Nepal, like the Poonhill
trek and Mardi Himal trek, which lies in the Annapurna region,
this lies in the beaten region of the Gaurishankar Conservation Area.
It’s
a three
days trek package and starts from Kathmandu. We take
a scenic drive of 6-7 hours towards the
east from the city, bypassing very beautiful villages,
valleys, crystal clear rivers, bridges, spiral roads, and some beautiful
viewpoints like Khari Dhunga on the way. Then we finally reached the starting
point of our trek, Makaibari. This is also the destination for our first
overnight stay. The place is nearby Charikot which
is also the capital of Dolakha district.
The
next day, we started our hike toward our destination. Today's hike takes 6-7
hours to reach the beautiful village of Kuri. On the way,
you will witness panoramic mountain views of the local people, their
traditions, and their culture. The trekking trail is somehow vehicle friendly,
but during Kalinchowk snowfall, it’s very hard to take a drive and make it to Kuri
village. After reaching this amazing village, we’re done for
today and taking an overnight stay here.
Another
day is the most important day of our Kalinchowk Trek -3 days. We wake up early
in the morning and hike to the top of Kalinchowk, where you see Kalinchwok
temple, praying flags, and bells dedicated to the famous Kalinchowk
Bhagawati. This hilltop offers breathtaking panoramic
views of Langtang Himal, Ganesh
Himal, Shisha Pangma, Dorje Lakpa, Jugal Himal, and Gauri Shankar, etc. can
even see the Kathmandu valley on a clear day. This hilltop of
Kalinchowk holds the maximum elevation(3780 m approx.) during our Kalinchowk
trek -3 days.
