Day Hike - Sanga to Panauti

This one-day hiking route of 10 kilometers has a lot to offer, in terms of natural and cultural diversity. One of the under-trekked regions outside the Kathmandu Valley, this route offers the magnificent performance of the northern Himalayan range of Nepal, an invitation to the authentic lifestyle of the Tamang community, and occasions to dine with the local family in the Panauti Community Homestay.

Itinerary

We will conclude our hike in a Newar community, Panauti. It is a small, but a beautiful Newari town. Local folklore mentions Panauti was an offering from a King of Bhaktapur to his sister as a dowry gift. Surrounded by green hills and holy rivers, this spiritual town is full of, both, Hindu and Buddhist temple. For such reasons, Panauti is considered as a hidden-gem of Nepal. In Panauti, we will have a lunch in Panauti Community Homestay. Established by the local women of Panauti, Panauti Community Homestay is a paradigm of successful women empowerment/entrepreneurship in Nepal. In community Homestay, we will spend some tea-time with a local host family. It is a great opportunity to experience Nepalese local lifestyle, experience its authentic hospitality, taste the local food, and in the end, we are supporting and motivating local women-entrepreneurs just by appreciating their local culture and tradition.
