How to get to Saping

Saping Village is located approximately 60 km from Kathmandu.

There are several ways to reach the village. During dry season, it's possible to catch a bus from Kathmandu directly to Saping, via the towns of Dhologhat and Tar. This journey takes around 5 to 6 hours. The trip can also be made in a private 4WD. During the wet season, the only way to reach Saping is by a combination of bus and walking. You first take a bus to Dhologhat, then walk 2 hours up the mountainside to reach Saping village. 

Our guesthouse in Dhulikhel is on the way to Saping from Kathmandu, so visitors usually come first to the guesthouse and then we take you on to Saping.

To get to Innate Pension, in Dhulikhel, you catch a bus from Ratna buspark in Kathmandu to Dhulikhel (1.5 hours) and then walk 15 minutes up the Battidanda Road (towards Battidanda village) and you'll see the guesthouse. It's a big, red, brick building on the right-hand side of the road, five minutes past the police academy. Then the next day we will take you on a 1.5 hour bus ride to Dhologhat and a 2 hour guided walk up the mountain to Saping.

The walk to the village is steep, so visitors are welcome to leave excess luggage at the guesthouse.
