Kalinchowk, at the height of 3700 meters, has a panoramic view of splendid mountains and the scenic beauty of nature. A six to nine (depends on the people) hours walk from the Charikot, Dolakha district; Kalinchowk bears a tremendous beauty that one must see during the lifetime.
Located at about 150 Kms from Kathmandu, buses ply to Charikot almost every hour. Places like Dolalghat, Khadichaur, Mude falls on the way to Charikot which has its own importance in terms of natural beauty and the height factor.
A six hour walk is worth reaching Kalinchowk. The places like Deurali, Chautari, Gairi and Kuri on the way to Kalinchowk are the rest points for the trekkers. Located at the height where the vegetation line ends one feels the height sickness and tremendous cold .
A very few houses can be seen on the way and the people carry all the load of foods with them when the winter arrive. They stock foods enough for about 3 months so that they do not have to bear the scarcity when the snow falls as there are least chances of getting out of the house during winter because of heavy snow.
But to the surprise the NEA (Nepal Electricity Authority) has been able to install the single phase line at the top i.e at Kalinchowk. People generally cut down the trees and sell the woods and timbre for living due to which the deforestation rate is going higher.
