Babarmahal-11, Kathmandu (Near King's College)
An affordable one-day guided hike from Kathmandu with transport,
breakfast and lunch included. Packages from NPR 1,500 per person.
Fixed departure every Saturday morning from Babarmahal.
At NPR 1,500 per person by Deluxe Bus, the Saturday package includes two-way transport, breakfast, lunch and guide support, making it an accessible organised day trip for travellers looking for a short escape from Kathmandu. Personal expenses, additional drinks and temple offerings are not included.
This makes it genuinely accessible for students, young travelers, first-time hikers and anyone who wants to experience Nepal’s hill landscapes without a large travel budget.
The destination is the Latarambeshwor Mahadev Temple - a sacred Shiva shrine set on a forested hilltop in Makwanpur, revered by Hindu pilgrims from across the region.
The temple has a peaceful, spiritual atmosphere - far from the crowds of Kathmandu's busy temples. Reaching it through a quiet forest trail makes the darshan feel earned and meaningful.
The route is an easy-to-moderate forest hike with sustained uphill and downhill sections. No previous trekking experience is required, but basic fitness and reasonable mobility are recommended. The total hiking time is approximately 3-4 hours at a comfortable pace.
The hike can suit beginners, active families and older travellers who are comfortable walking for several hours on uneven hill trails.
Scheduled group departures are available every Saturday, subject to availability, weather and operating conditions.
WhatsApp us, confirm your seat and show up at your nearest pickup point on Saturday morning. Everything else is handled.

However the trail can be slippery after heavy rain.
Autumn and spring offer the most comfortable conditions.
The temple entrance is framed by trees and prayer flags - a peaceful and atmospheric shot unique to this destination. Best in early morning light when the forest is quiet.
The hiking trail itself offers beautiful forest scenery, filtered sunlight and natural walking shots. Classic trail photography opportunity - wide angle works best here.
Group hiking and resting moments along the route create authentic travel memories and social media photos.
The surrounding hills are visible from the temple area. Green and layered in monsoon.
