Located in the mountainous regions around the Kathmandu Valley, White Gumba also known as Seto Gumba or Amitabha Druk monastery is the symbol of peace and spirituality. Its pristine white facade is decorated with intricate carvings that sparkle against the background of lush greenery. For those looking for a quiet place away from city life, White Gumba hiking trails offer the opportunity to get away from nature and culture.

The adventure begins on the path, where travelers will hear the rustle of trees and birdsong. The road winds through dense forests and provides a relaxing break from the noise and chaos of the city. When sunlight filters through the canopy, it creates a mosaic of light and shadow, enhancing the mystical atmosphere of the journey.

On the way, travelers can meet small villages where local people welcome their guests. The walk offers a glimpse into the traditional lifestyle of the local people, with terraced rice fields and beautiful houses dotting the landscape. Children are playing on the road, their laughter echoing in the valley.

As we continue to climb, Bai Gomba slowly comes into view. Panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys provide hikers with breathtaking views at every turn. The ascent is slow, but the hope of reaching the spiritual heavens keeps morale high.

After reaching Bai Gomba the traveler was happy. With its elegant architecture and meditative atmosphere, this monastery invites reflection and contemplation. Both pilgrims and visitors participate in the festivities that add spiritual power to the holy place.

The Descent is an imaginative journey that allows travelers to absorb the security of White Gumba and bring its essence back to the vibrancy of nature below. More than a physical adventure, White Gumba hiking is a lifelong experience that leaves an indelible mark on the hearts of those involved.
