Although this region is close to Kathmandu, there is not much crowd, as most tourists visiting Nepal go to the Annapurna and Everest regions. Driving from Kathmandu takes about 40 minutes to reach Sundarijal or 6–7 hours to drive to Dhunche or Sabru Benshi, where we can start trekking. Trekking for Tamang heritage and Ganesh Himal trekking starts from Sabru Benshi. Landscaping by driving between Kathmandu and Sabru Benshi offers a natural paradise.
