At just 40km and an hour drive from the capital city Kathmandu, Balthali village is located in the Kavrepalanchok District of central Nepal. The Balthali village trek is a short trip for trekkers who wants to explore the beauty of nature and wildlife in a short period of time. The trek offers traditional, cultural, and religious values untouched by modernization. The houses are built in a Pagoda style with different colors which are quite rare in this present world. The village is mostly settled by the Newar and Tamang communities so, you will have an opportunity to explore their history, culture, and tradition. Throughout the trek, you will enjoy the view of dense green forest covered with rhododendron, pine, and saal trees. This short trek will offer you majestic views of the Himalayan ranges like Langtang Himal, Ganesh Himal, Mt. Manaslu, Mt. Gaurishankar, and Mt.Everest on the northern horizon. Since the trek is short, you are not required to have any past trekking experiences to enjoy this trek. We would recommend you to plan this short trek to the Balthali village, get rid of the noisy city life, and enjoy a peaceful environment with beautiful nature.
