Ranikot Village Day Hike from Kathmandu Overview
The Ranikot Day Hike offers scenic views along with an average trekking experience. The day starts with an early morning drive from Kathmandu via Suryabinayak to the start of the hike. From there, one takes on a well-defined trail that heads to the Ranikot viewpoint for stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The track runs, bending through the green hills, allowing glimpses of the far-away mountains capped with snow amidst a peaceful and rejuvenating atmosphere.
The trek reaches a viewpoint from where the further trek would be heading towards Rayale Village, a beautiful spot with its tranquil environment and rich natural beauty. You get a scrumptious lunch here so you can rest and enjoy the breathtaking view of the surroundings.
