Refresh & Reconnect: Community Hike to Telkot- Changu Narayan

[Sujan]

We are happy to invite everyone to join a hike to Changu Narayan, organized by Hira Kaji and Sujan.

Hira Kaji has been working as a freelance trekking and tour guide for the past 5 years, and Sujan has been involved in the adventure tourism industry as a motorbike tour planner for over 10 years. Together, we wanted to organize a simple community hike where people can enjoy nature, connect with others, and refresh their minds.

Over the past few months, life has been quite busy and demanding for many of us. Taking time away from the daily routine and spending time in nature can be a great way to relax and recharge. With that idea, we decided to organize this small hiking experience for anyone who would like to join.

This hike is completely free to join and is organized with the spirit of sharing nature and outdoor experiences with the community.
The hike will be led by Hira Kaji, with Sujan assisting during the hike.

Participants will only need to cover their own personal expenses such as transportation, meals, and entry tickets if required.
