Your adventure begins with a morning drive from Kathmandu to Gokarna or Jorpati, the common starting points for the Tarebhir hike. After a quick warm-up, you’ll begin ascending through a peaceful pine forest trail. The well-marked path offers glimpses of the Kathmandu Valley, occasional birdsong, and cool forest breezes.
As you reach Tarebhir Ridge, take time to soak in the stunning views of Shivapuri hills, the cityscape below, and surrounding greenery. You may also encounter small Buddhist stupas, prayer flags, and locals enjoying nature. After a packed or local lunch at a scenic rest point, begin your descent and drive back to Kathmandu by late afternoon—refreshed and reconnected with nature.
