Kalinchwok is a virgin trekking trail for tourists; however, it's a famous pilgrimage destination for Nepalese people. Kalinchwok is a beautiful hillside (3800 m) located to the north of Kathmandu and near to the Tibetan border. In the past few years, Kalinchwok has focused on trekking routes for foreigners from the Nepal Tourism Board, the Trekking Agency Association of Nepal (TAAN), and local peoples from the Dolakha district.

Trip Facts

Kalinchwok Trek Highlights

  • One of the best Himalayan viewpoints in lower elevation.
  • The spiritual place for Buddhist and Hindu pilgrimage. 
  • Amazing landscapes, mountains, sunrise, and sunset viewpoints.
  • The scenic drive, waterfalls, lakes, and rivers.
  • Colorful rhododendron flowers during the spring. 
  • The best place to play with snow during the winter. 

Kalinchwok is easily accessed by roads; it is about 147 km from Kathmandu Valley. Kalinchwok is named after the Hindu goddess (Kali) known as Kalinchwok Bhagwati. Sunkoshi (Gold River) and Tamakoshi (Copper River) also originate from here. On this trek, we can see the Rolwaling range and the world's various highest mountain ranges, including Annapurna, Lamjung, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Shisha Panga, Langtang, Dorjee Lakya, Jugal Himal, Amabamori, Mt. Gaurishanker, Numbur Himal, and the Everest ranges. 

The Kalinchwok trek will give you an amazing experience of the culture and lifestyle of the Tamang, Sherpa, and Brahmin people in beautiful remote villages and a rare chance to get up close and personal with the Thami people (who can only be seen in this region). The Thami people are a small and little-heard community and offer you a rare glimpse into a unique lifestyle of their culture. The national flower of Nepal, Rhododendron (Ligurians), and the national bird, Pheasant (Danfe), can be seen during our trek. Kalinchwok is also famous for different kinds of rhododendrons and a good view of Kathmandu at night.

For Nepalese and Indian people, we organize 2-night, 3-day Kalinchowk tour packages; contact us for special group rates and services.
