Michelle Della Giovanna Hiking to Balthali Overviewĭifficulty Level: Moderate – We chose to stay at the Balthali Eco Resort.The map shown in this blog should be used as a loose guideline as the map is missing a lot of side trails and towns. We went without an offline map since we planned to discover the “local route.” It was pretty difficult, so I’d recommend having the offline map () to follow even though we went a different less touristy direction.

So we walked to Namo Buddha from our hotel in the morning, explored the monastery and started the hike to Balthali around 11:00am.

It was one of the more difficult days on our Kathmandu Valley Trek however, it also felt like the most rewarding. Hiking from Namo Buddha to Balthali looks like a small distance on the map, but it feels like a proper trekking route as it goes over hills and down into river valleys.
