Balthali resides 40 km east from Kathmandu, standing on a plateau, just beyond Panauti. There is a small settlement of Balthali Village which rests on a junction of Roshi and Ladku Khola rivers. This placed on the top hill can be a dreamland for the peace lovers. The view from the top of adjacent hills, Nepali countryside with terraced farmlands, and ochre thatched farm houses make anyone feel you are in the paradise. One can see the snowy peaks of Dorje Lhakpa, Langtang on the northern side.

The area is surrounded by the dense forest of rhododendron, magnolia, and tick trees. After dusk, myriad of flickering lights below the valley of Balthali Village Resort gives exotic feelings. Nature lovers and bird watchers can spend days exploring and discovering some exceptional species of wildlife, tradition and culture untouched by modernity.
