A year ago, in 2019, we visited Bethanchok for a quick weekend break. One of the best place for view and coolest places to go hiking around Kathmandu Valley is Bethanchowk, also known as Narayanthan, The hill is named as Narayanthan because of a sacred temple of Vishnu on the hill's top. According to the locals, the temple gets more crowdie on Fagu Purnima. Bethanchowk Hill at 3,000 m is the highest hill of Mahabharata Range in Kavre, a neighbor district of Bhaktapur. Also called as King of Hills, provides the best views of Himalayan Peaks, surrounding forested hills and valleys.
