Dhulikhel
धुलिखेल
A hill town about 30 km east of Kathmandu where old Newar streets survive. From the ridge you can see a Himalayan panorama, from the Langtang range to the Everest region.
Dhulikhel sits along the Arniko Highway, the road to the Nepal–China border. It is quieter than Nagarkot, and many resort hotels are built on the hillsides. You can wander the old town's Harisiddhi Temple and pond, climb to the summit of the Kali Temple to watch the sunrise, or hike about 3 hours to Namo Buddha. Entry is free. A taxi from Kathmandu takes about 1.5 hours. It works well as a two-day trip combined with Namo Buddha and Panauti.
