Sankhu - Bajrayogini - Manichur Hike | Hike for Nepal

Duration

10 to 12 hours

Overview

Sankhu is an ancient Newari town located just 17 km away from Kathmandu city. Once an important stop on the old trade route from Kathmandu to Lhasa, its rich cultural heritage and traditional lifestyle make it a must-visit place for anyone who wants to get away at least for a day from the humdrum of routine work and the pollution of Kathmandu city. The famous Vajrayogini Temple built by Hindu King Prakash Malla in 1655 is one of the best tourist attractions of Sankhu. We will start our hike from Sankhu visiting Vajrayogini Temple and ascend towards Manichaur passing through different villages and jungle with beautiful landscapes. We will walk uphill for about 3 hours. We will have a fun-filled introduction program at the top of the hill and will descend back to Sankhu bus park in about 2 hours.
