🗺️ Overview of the Trail
[Sankhu Bus Park] ──(Steady Climb)──> [Manichud Narayan Temple] ──(Short Walk)──> [Manichud Daha]
Our journey begins from the historic town of Sankhu. We will ascend through beautiful pine forests, terraced fields, and quiet tamang villages. As we climb higher, the trail opens up to spectacular views of the Kathmandu Valley.
At the top, we will reach Manichud Daha, a sacred pond located at an altitude of around 2,400 meters. Right next to the pond lies the peace-evoking Manichud Narayan Temple. We will spend time relaxing by the water, enjoying our packed lunch, and soaking in the tranquil atmosphere before heading back down.
