Temples Heritage Valley Rim Trek combines the Temple and Heritage Trek and Valley Rim Trek. This trek is idyllic for those nature lovers who want to hit two targets with one arrow, visiting temples and heritage sites while hiking up through lush forests and enjoying panoramic views.

Temples Heritage Valley Rim Trek provides some great views of the Himalayas, with a lot of the latter stages of the trek to Dulikhel taking place along the valley ridge. Trek into the lush, forested trails of Shivapuri National Park, follow cascading rivers, and experience a glimpse of authentic village life. Some days are more energetic than others, but the tour as a whole provides a healthy stretch of the legs. Along the way, you pass through old valley settlements and many farming communities. Early sunrise views from Chisapani and especially Nagarkot are stunning. In Dhulikhel, the last stage of our Temples Heritage Valley Rim Trek, there is an opportunity to experience old Newari culture at its best. The town is very well organized, cohesive, and serves as a healthy habitat for the people who live there by Nepali standards. Panauti and Namma Buddha also stand out. The trip to Panauti takes you through a particularly beautiful valley. Namma Buddha, an extremely important destination for Buddhists, is set within a lush forest. A big bonus is that very few tourists trek the valley, so most of the time you are away from popular trails,be  prepared to be surprised!

Temples Heritage Valley Rim Trek Altitude Profile

FAQs

When’s the best time to visit Nepal?

The main seasons for trekking are the spring (Mar to May) and autumn (Sep to Nov) when you’ll have clear skies and superb mountain views. The winter (Dec to Feb) is also a great time to visit— these months offer a unique experience and fewer crowds but lower altitude treks are better at this time of year as its cold at night.

What’s it like during the monsoon season?

During the monsoon season (Jun to Aug), most of Nepal experiences heavy rain for a few hours each day. It’s humid, wet, and the trails in the lower regions (Ghorepani, Ghandruk, Langtang, etc) can be quite muddy. If you don’t mind the rain you’ll have the trails to yourself, the skies often clear up in the morning, and certain treks offer stone-paved trails that drain the rain and make for easy trekking. Also, certain regions, like Mustang and the upper reaches of Everest, lie in the rainshadow of the Himalaya and receive little rain but views however are still likely to be restricted.

What’s the difference between private and group tours?

Private tours are tailor-made itineraries built by us around your travel dates and personal interests, whereas group trips are pre-packaged and depart on specific dates. Group trips are also open for others to join, whereas private trips are just for you. You will find a list of fixed departure dates on our website.

How do I get my visa for Nepal?

For most nationalities, you can get your visa in Kathmandu. It takes around 45 minutes and is the most convenient way to get your visa you will need passport size photos.. You can also apply for a visa in advance from a local Nepali consulate in your country if you’d like to have everything arranged in advance. Cost15 Days – 25 USD / 30 Days – 40 USD / 90 Days – 100 USD

How much luggage can I take on domestic flights?

For mountain flights, you’re allowed 5 kg. carry-on to the plane and 10 kg. for checked-in luggage. For non-mountain sector flights, the check-in allowance increases to 20-25 kg.

How many days should I spend in Nepal?

If you’re mainly looking to experience Nepal’s cultural and natural highlights, you can have a great experience in 5-9 days, where you can visit two regions (likely Kathmandu and Pokhara perhaps go on Safari at Chitwan). If you intend to go trekking consider at least 10 days (more is better) to have enough time to reach higher altitudes and safely acclimatize if need be.To undertake one of the longer, classic treks in Nepal or to combine multiple regions and activities into one visit, think about 14-20 days and more if possible.

Are hotels included in the tour price?

Himalaya Heart organises complete tours, meaning everything is taken care of from the moment you arrive in Nepal to the moment you leave, including all of your accommodation in a three star Hotel. If you require better accommodation please let us know and we can arrange this and adjust the tour cost accordingly. Each of our tour pages shows clearly what is and what is not included in the tour price.

Are there any extra expenses not included in my tour price?

Personal expenses (tips, soft drinks, bar bills, laundry, telephone calls, donations, and extra snacks, etc) are not included in your tour price. When checking a particular trek page on our website we have clearly stated what is and what is not included. If you’re going trekking, the only things you’ll need to pay for out of pocket are wifi and battery charging (when available), extra meals outside of what’s included, alcohol, and soft drinks and perhaps hot showers.
