The Hundred Hillocks
Wave-like grassy summits, each with its own shrine, each with a slightly different Himalaya.

Rolling green summits and 360-degree Himalayan panoramas in Nepal's least-crowded hill country.
Sailung means a hundred hillocks, and the name is exact — wave upon wave of grassy summits rolling toward a horizon stacked with Everest, Langtang, and Rolwaling peaks.
Shrines crown the highest mounds, prayer flags stitching ridge to ridge across grazing land that glows emerald after the monsoon. On the clearest days the panorama runs nearly the full length of the eastern Himalaya, with the plains shimmering far below.
Few travelers make it here, which is precisely the point. Nepora pairs Sailung's open ridges with unhurried walking, village tea stops, and nights in the quiet highland settlements below the crest.

“Most viewpoints show you a mountain; Sailung shows you the entire arrangement of the world.”
The hillocks are sacred as well as scenic — local pilgrims circle the summit shrines, and the ridges carry centuries of foot-worn devotion beneath their grass.
Standing on the highest mound at dawn, with cloud seas in the valleys and ice on every horizon, the usual language of viewpoints fails. Visitors tend to fall quiet, which the hills seem to prefer.
