Maulakalika Hill: A Popular Hiking Spot

Chitwan. Exactly 4:30 in the morning, the city is fast asleep. But on the 1882 stone steps at the foothills of Gaindakot, the footsteps of hikers have already begun to echo. This climb to Maulakalika, once limited to religious rituals and worship, becomes quite bustling, especially on public holidays. For those seeking mental refreshment from the city's chaos and busy daily life, this hilltop is developing as a 'short hiking' destination.

Many choose to climb the hill of Maulakalika to manage the physical lethargy and mental stress caused by the modern urban lifestyle. Being close to the main cities of Bharatpur and Gaindakot, Maulakalika itself is becoming a 'Saturday hiking spot' for many.
