Sundarijal hike Kathmandu

Sundarijal, it is about 15 km away from central Kathmandu. It is located in north - east of Nepal. The term Sundarijal is the mixture of two Nepalese words "Sundari" and "Jal" which means beautiful water. Certainly when you will be at Sundarijal, you'll see the giant waterfall and the beautiful river streaming downwards to the holy Baghmati River. Similarly, people believe that Sundarijal was named from the temple of Sundarimai whereas every day Hindu devotees go there to worship the goddess of Sundarimai.

We can easily excess to Sundarijal. The road is well concreted all the way so that regularly the public transportation operated from old bus park, near to the Ratna Park. The bus takes around one hour to reach Sundarijal but, sometime it may take more time because of heavy traffic jam. If you have private vehicle, you can go any time without any hindrance.

The small area is occupied by Sundarijal buspark, side of the buspark, there is a small market cover the surrounding. One can eat something before the beginning of hiking and buy something as hiking appetizer. Not the best hotel in the bupark area but, least the hotel's foods and services you would be catered fresh and clean.

The main attraction of Sundarijal is the giant waterfall, the biggest waterfall in Kathmandu valley and the streaming white river that ultimately mix to the holy Bagmati River. It is most popular area because of the green landscape and the wet land as well. Many domestic and international tourists are attracted here by the beauty of Sundarijal. We can organize many activities such as Canyoning, hiking, nature trekking, naturephotography, swimming, birding, cycling, biking, bush walking and so on. At the autumn season, most of the domestic people go there for picnic with their family and friends.

Sundarijal is also a get way of many popular trekking routes like Langtang valley, Gosaikunda, Helambu and one of the short Chisapani trek.
