Sometimes,
you don’t need to travel far to find peace and happiness. Some places are so
beautiful that they make you forget the busy routine of everyday life. Bhundol is one of those places.
I recently
visited Bhundol with my friends for a hiking trip, and honestly, the
experience was wonderful. As soon as we reached there, it felt like stepping
into a different world, almost like arriving in a little paradise surrounded by
nature.
The beautiful
green grasslands, fresh breeze, open spaces and peaceful environment make
Bhundol a perfect destination for anyone who wants to spend quality time away
from the noise and crowds of the city.
Where is Bhundol?
Bhundol is a beautiful nature destination that can be reached from Kathmandu in
approximately one hour, depending on your starting point and mode of
transportation.
It is a
greet option for people looking for a short getaway, hiking experience, or a
relaxing weekend picnic with friends and loved ones.
How to Reach Bhundol from Kathmandu?
Getting to
Bhundol is relatively easy, and the route is quite enjoyable.
Based on
my experience, you can reach Bhundol through the Chobhar and Pharping route.
- · Start your journey from Kathmandu and head towards Balkhu.
- ·
From
Balkhu, you can take a bus. The journey takes approximately one hour.
- ·
After
getting off the bus, you may need to hike for around 25 minutes to reach the destination.
- ·
If
you travel by bike, you can reach closer to the destination, followed by a
short hike of approximately 10 minutes.
While
travelling through Chobhar and Pharping, you will need to take a turn near a
temple towards an off road route leading to Bhundol.
The
journey itself is enjoyable, especially if you love exploring natural places.
My Experience at Bhundol

and spend time with friends without worrying about everyday responsibilities.
What I
loved most was the natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere. It is one of those
places where you can simply sit, enjoy the view, talk with your friends, and
appreciate the little things around you.
