Kalinchowk Bhagwati is a special place for Hindus, found high up at 3,842 meters in Charikot, Dolakha. It’s a serene spot, part of the Gaurishankar Preservation region, with rivers SunKoshi and TamaKoshi flowing nearby.
Many visitors come here for its religious significance. Kuri Village below the hill is famous for its beauty, especially when it snows in winter and everything blooms in spring.
In spring, the trails leading to Kalinchowk Hill are like a colorful garden with lush plants and vibrant rhododendrons. It’s a great place for those who enjoy snowy winters and short hikes. You can easily enjoy stunning mountain views without much effort.
Kalinchowk attracts visitors all year round, but winter and spring see the most footfall. The panoramic view of the Himalayas, including Mt. Kanchenjunga, Mt. Langtang, and others, is breathtaking, especially on clear days.
The best time to visit is winter, from December to February, when you can play in the snow. Climbing Kalinchowk Hill can be a thrilling experience.
Kuri Village gets about 3 to 5 feet of snow each year, which is why houses have triangular roofs to let the snow slide off easily.
The picturesque views of Kuri Valley have earned Kalinchowk comparisons to parts of Switzerland. The temple looks stunning when it snows, especially on Tuesdays and Saturdays, which see the most visitors.
People come here during festivals like Dashain and Janai Purnima to tie sacred threads at the temple’s foundation.
