Balthali Village Resort: standing on a plateau, just beyond Panauti about 40 km away from Kathamndu, is a small sleepy settlement of Balthali village which rests at the junction of Roshi and Ladku Khola (rivers). High above the southern ridge of this exceptional hamlet stands Balthali Village Resort (1650m)-an outstanding place of isolation and relaxation amidst a surrounding of typical Nepali countryside with terraced rice fields and ochre thatched farm houses. With snowy peaks of Dorjee Lhakpa, Langtang and whole range of mountains rests clear and bright on the northern horizon (subject to weather permit). Whilst the back yard is dominated by high hill of lush green Mahabharat Range which makes Balthali Village Retreat – a perfect for solitude and then to relax midst a countryside where times stands still, upper-turbid, almost like the middle ages. This is a place to rediscover what nature doest to you soul.
