We had a great trek. Sam the guide was really good and very patient with us all, especially my parents who are older and were a lot slower. There were about a million stairs on the first day (it seems) but we all got there finally....
Few people trek around the Kathmandu valley. Yet it offers a rich insight in to the lives, history, culture and religion together with the picturesque daily toil in the fields of its inhabitant. The valley rim lies between 1800m and 2800m and in spring offers early flowering rhododendrons. In autumn and winter there are wonderful mountains vistas, which can, form certain viewpoints, stretch from Everest in the east to Annapurna in the west. when you will arrive Nagarkot it offers spectacular Mountain View as well as a panoramic view of Kathmandu valley. This is one of the best spots to view Mount Everest as well as other snow-topped peaks of the Himalayan range of eastern Nepal
