Phulchowki, meaning “Hill of Flowers,” is located in the southern part of Kathmandu Valley. The trail offers a gradual climb through dense subtropical forests filled with orchids, butterflies, and more than 250 bird species.
At the summit, travelers are rewarded with sweeping views of Kathmandu Valley and snow-capped Himalayan peaks. The hike also passes through Godavari Botanical Garden, adding an extra highlight for nature lovers.
This is an excellent choice for those who prefer less crowded trails, rich biodiversity, and panoramic mountain scenery.
