Starting from Gokarna forest, this is a pleasant day hike through the pristine forest and farming communities within the Kathmandu valley rim

Home to an oversized statue of a Sleeping Vishnu, the hike to Budhanlkantha  is best undertaken on a Saturday morning when Hindus flock to the temple and its black statue (carved from a single stone and reportedly the largest sculpture in the Valley) to pray and give sacrifices. The god is depicted as resting on the snake Ananta, before Brahma and the rest of creation starts growing out of his navel. The whole lot seems to float on the waters of a rather big pond, often covered with yellow and red flowers. This is one of our favourite sites for people watching in the whole Valley. There are also a number of short yet rewarding hiking alternatives around the surroundings during this program.
