Dhulikhel |
Dhulikhel is a scenic and ancient town situated
30 kilometers east of Kathmandu on the Arniko Rajmarg (Kathmandu Kodari
Highway). From here one has a panoramic view of the Himalayan range.
From the main town, a short visit to Namobuddha, with the stupa and
Buddhist Monastery, is highly recommended. Panauti, a village noted for
its numerous temples with magnificent woodcarvings, is a short distance
from Dhulikhel.

Kakani |
Kakani is another good location for viewing the
mountain scenery. Only two hours north-west of Kathmandu, one can see
the mountain landscape of central Nepal, a vast collection of majestic
peaks stretching from Ganesh Himal to the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri
ranges. There is an unusually perfect blending of the imposing mountain
scenery with the more sylvan environment of the lower valleys.
Rhododendrons growing wild on the mountain slopes begin to bloom in late
winter and stay in bloom for several months, giving the village even
more charm.

Everest, there is no better place than Daman. It lies eighty kilometers

Rajpath and has a view tower fitted with a long range telescope.
