Dhulikhel is a natural and culturally rich place for tourists seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu and the perfect stopover on the way to the Tibetan border. With a ridge with a breathtaking view of the eastern Himalayas, the city is easily accessible from Kathmandu along the Arniko Highway, now it is a modern road; It was once an ancient trade route, where Dulichel was the main trading center between Kathmandu, Tibet and India.
Historically, Dulichel is a new settlement. Newars is the ethnic group of Nepal, inhabiting the Kathmandu valley. They are renamed to their outstanding craftsmanship and woodcarving, as can be seen in all the traditional houses around the old town and beautiful times and in the bazaars of the market. Newars are also arguably the oldest and most traditional of the ethnic groups in Nepal and have a culture based solely on religion, celebrated with the festival calendar, which even disgraces New Orleans.
In Dulihel
In addition to the breathtaking panoramic views of the Himalayas, stretching from Langtan to Everest and beyond, there are many interesting places in the city. Take a short walk and immerse yourself in the heart of the old city, where you can lose yourself in time into a tangle of cobbled streets, discover old houses with sagging wood framing, intricate carvings, hidden temples and thriving market squares. Discover the color and culture of this vibrant place when you wander through the old people smoking pipes, women's cotton dope, traditional wood workshops and hidden gardens through ancient arches. East of the city, past the local art gallery, you can find a picnic spot and relax for a while before climbing the Khazar Sindhi (a thousand steps) to the Kali Temple, where you can be inspired by the snowy peaks towering over the steep-terraced foothills .
