It is relatively close to Kathmandu (approx. 132 km from Kathmandu) and hence, popular among domestic travelers. \u2018Kalinchowk\u2019 is named after a hill-top temple in the area known as Kalinchowk Bhagwati dedicated to Kali (a Hindu goddess associated with power and destruction).

This temple, which lies on top of a steep hill is the best spot for the perfect panoramic view of the mountains.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Rhododendrons<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 640px;\" src=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/Kalinchowk-%20Rhododendron.jpg\" alt=\"Rhododendron in Kalinchowk\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The majestic beauty of Rhododendron has the power to awe everyone who lays his\/her eyes upon it. Kalinchowk trek gives the perfect opportunity to savor the beauty of various kinds of Rhododendrons like Sunpate (Rhododendron anthopogon) and Tree rhododendrons all over the trail to Kalinchowk. You can also see Bell rhododendron (Rhododendron campanulatum) in Kuri village.<br \/>\nTraditionally, people used rhododendrons as medicine for the treatment of inflammatory conditions, gastrointestinal disorders, common cold, etc.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Magnificent Mountain Panorama<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 640px;\" src=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/Kalinchowk-%20Mountain%20Panorama.jpg\" alt=\"Mountain scenery in Kalinchowk\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>From the top of Kalinchowk, one can bask in the beauty of the stunning panoramic view of different mountains.

If one starts the journey early, then one can reach Kuri village before nightfall in a private jeep.<\/p>\n<p>Another option is to take a bus from Kathmandu to Charikot, then take a jeep from Charikot to Kuri village. If you take a bus from Kathmandu, you will have to spend a night in Charikot. Since Charikot is the headquarters of Dolakha district, it is adequately developed in infrastructure. Dolakha Bhimsen temple is also a possible side-trip which is about 20 minutes driving distance from Charikot. The trek from Charikot to Kuri village takes around 10-12 hours which can be strenuous. The trail doesn\u2019t go downhill at any point and there aren\u2019t any hotels or lodges from Deurali to Kuri village, so it is recommended to start the trek in the early morning and reach Kuri before nightfall. The route from Deurali to Kuri village is the best spot for wildlife enthusiasts and birdwatchers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Route 1<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kathmandu- Mude- Charikot- Deurali Bhanjyang- Kuri- Kalinchowk-Kuri-Back to Charikot-Kathmandu<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alternate route<\/strong><br \/>\nKathmandu- Charikot- Kuri-Kalinchowk- Dolangsa- Karthali- Barahbise- Kathmandu<\/p>\n<p>One can get buses from Old Buspark with a choice of either public or Super Express bus to Charikot. Araniko Express, Gaurishanker Yatayat, Sagarmatha Yatayat are the regular buses that depart from Kathmandu to Charikot every day. Super Express buses usually leave at 6 am in the morning, but local buses leave in 2-3 hours\u2019 time interval.<br \/>\nDaily public buses go from Kathmandu to Charikot. It is, however, advised to inquire about the availability of buses and departure timings before starting the journey. It takes around five hours on a public bus to reach Charikot. The price range of a public bus from Kathmandu to Charikot is Rs.350-400\/-. Once one reaches Charikot, you can find off-road jeeps that go to Kuri village. Jeeps regularly traverse in the tourist season. The road to Kuri village was built recently so the ride may get bumpy at times.<\/p>\n<p>Super Express buses provide better convenience than public buses, but they are known to be notoriously punctual. So, if you arrive late then do not hope to catch the bus. It is recommended to reach the old bus park half an hour before the bus leaves. The ticket counter for Super Express is in the north-western corner of the bus park. Word of caution: The bus stops only once in the middle of the forest to allow passengers to relieve themselves then drops them off at Charikot, so it is a good idea to relieve oneself and be comfortable before boarding the bus.<\/p>\n<p>If you are in an organized group, it\u2019s better to arrange an off-road jeep from Kathmandu to Kuri village. There are no such jeep or bus counters in Kathmandu which go directly to Kuri village, so one has to rent a private jeep to reach directly to Kuri village.<\/p>\n<p>From Kuri, one can either walk to Kalinchowk Peak or take the cable car to the top for NPR 500.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Hotels in Kalinchowk<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It is recommended to plan and reserve hotels and lodges before you start your journey. If you plan to spend the night in Charikot, then you will have no problem reserving a lodge or hotel as Charikot has abundant facilities of hotels and lodges. However, you may have a hard time if you are planning to spend the night in Kuri village. There are a few selections of hotels\/lodges and information about the hotels and lodges in Kuri village are hard to find. Below is the detailed list of most hotels and lodges in Kuri village to help potential trekkers:<\/p>\n<p><u>Sangam Hotel and Lodge<\/u><br \/>\nContact number: 049-691274, 9844406414<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 640px;\" src=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/Sangam.jpg\" alt=\"Sangam Hotel and Lodge\" \/><\/p>\n<p><u>Danphe<\/u><u> Hotel and Lodge<\/u><br \/>\nContact number: 9844406858, 9844406864<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 640px;\" src=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/Danphe.jpg\" alt=\"Danphe Hotel and Lodge\" \/><\/p>\n<p><u>Ganga Hotel and Lodge<\/u><br \/>\nContact number: 9844301480<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 640px;\" src=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/Ganga.jpg\" alt=\"Ganga Hotel and Lodge\" \/><\/p>\n<p><u>Kalinchowk Country Villa Pvt.

Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is a common problem as Kuri village lies at an elevation of about 3450m. At 3,000 meters (10,000 feet), 75% of people have mild symptoms from Altitude Mountain Sickness. If one reaches directly to Kuri village via off-road jeep, then the sudden elevation increases the risk of AMS. Proper precautions for AMS is advised.<\/p>\n<p>Medical facilities in Kuri or Kalinchowk are non-existent so one should take care of all the medical needs in Charikot. The details of some major medical institutions in Charikot are given below:<\/p>\n<p><u>Tsho-Rolpa Hospital<\/u><br \/>\nCharikot, Lamabagar Rd<br \/>\n049-420904<\/p>\n<p><u>Gauri<\/u><u>shankar<\/u><u> hospital<\/u><br \/>\nCharikot, Lamabagar Rd<br \/>\n049 &#8211; 429130<\/p>\n<p><u>District Primary Health Service<\/u><br \/>\nCharikot, Lamabagar Rd<br \/>\n049-421125<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Equipment and Clothing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Down jackets and broken-in hiking boots are essential as the trekking trail is quite steep. During the winter season (Dec-Feb), there is a probability of snowfall so gloves, sunglasses, and extra clothing can be necessary. It is recommended to check the weather reports and temperature to choose the suitable equipment and clothing for the trek.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Local Treats<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The mountain scenery and Kalinchowk temple aren\u2019t the only attractions in the Kalinchowk area. We have compiled a list of relished local treats available in Kalinchowk:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tongba<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height: 480px; width: 640px;\" src=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/tongba_0.jpg\" alt=\"Tongba Kalinchowk\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Durkha<\/strong><strong> or Chhurpi<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height: 420px; width: 620px;\" src=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/durkhakalinchowk_0.jpg\" alt=\"Chhurpi Kalinchowk\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Durkha or Chhurpi is a hardened cheese consumed mainly in the Himalayan regions. It is usually made from Yak milk. Chhurpi is to Nepalese what chewing gum is to the outside world. A small block of Chhurpi, which generally has a bit tangy taste can be savored for hours. Chhurpi can be bought from shops in Kuri village at a reasonable price. Small tea houses in Kalinchowk also sell Chhurpi.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Yak <\/strong><strong>sukuti<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yak sukuti\u00a0is basically the dry meat of Yak. Since Yaks are only found in the highlands above 3000 meters, Kalinchowk trek can be a convenient option for tasting yak sukuti.
