Description

This limestone wall stands tall on a hillside over looking a valley of Buddhist monasteries and village farms. For the most part of the day it is in direct sun light which gets rid of the morning bugs and may help with keeping the leaches away from your belay partner as you whip off your new project. Not many travelers know about this spot but it can be frequented by Nepali guides on their days off, making it a nice get away from the crowded streets of Kathmandu.

Getting There

Continue towards the Samya monastery(the big yellow building) and move right/north towards a goat trail up a gorge with eroding sidewalls. Keep following this trail and you will reach a number of switch backs leading up into the pines. Behind these pines you will find the wall. In all, this hike should take less than a half hour and the drive depending on the mode of transportation may take up to an hour so leave early if you want to have a full day or camp overnight.
