Chisapani Nagarkot Hike - 4 Days

Chisapani Nagarkot Hike

We welcome you to join this short trek to Chisapani and Nagarkot Hike. It is designed to provide you an unusual chance to explore the endless surprises of nature, rural Nepal and the awe-inspiring majesty and beauty of dramatic mountain views.

This trek starts after one and half hour driving from Kathmandu to Sundarijal.  It takes 4 to 5 hours walking to Chisapani. Your first destination is Chisapani where you will be enjoying the real blessing of nature being away from the noise of the city and your interaction with the villagers will add another experience. Nagarkot is the second destination at an altitude of 2175m. It is 7 hours walking from Chisapani to Nagarkot. The sunrise viewed from this hill present you the ever-refreshing memory of the majestic panoramic view of the Himalayan ranges from Dhaulagiri in the west and Mt. Everest in the east.  After that, we will drive back to Kathmandu which takes about 2 hrs.

Day 02: Kathmandu to Sundarijal (1 and a half hr drive) – Sundarijal to  Chisapani (4-5 hrs trek)

After having breakfast, early in the morning, we drive to Sundarijal. It is a busy picnic spot of the valley-dwellers on public holidays. Lush greenery, sources of water and serene environment greet us as soon as we reach there. From here, our hike to Chisapani starts. Walking through a few settlements and a lot of forest with variety of birds and chances of sighting animals, we arrive at Chisapani. There is an added fun of having packed lunch on the way. The total duration of the hike is nearly five hours. Chisapani is a Sherpa village, offering grand views of the mountains. Relieve yourself in the evening by watching a picturesque sunset from the village, and retire to a teahouse to spend the night.

Day 03: Chisapani to Nagarkot (6-7 hrs trek) – Nagarkot to Kathmandu via car (2 hrs drive)

We get up in the morning, have our breakfast and head towards Nagarkot from Chisapani. This is a relatively demanding day that requires you to walk for about 7 hours. But the trail passes mostly through dense forest of the national park, making you forget the tiredness. We pause our hike for a while in Chauki Bhanjyang or Jhule to have lunch and take a short rest. Then we continue along the idyllic countryside to Nagarkot, a hilltop to the east of Kathmandu offers unmatched scenery of innumerable peaks along a large section of the Himalayas. After that, we will drive back to Kathmandu from Nagarkot in a private vehicle, which takes about 2 hrs. Upon reaching Kathmandu, you will be transferred to your hotel.

Day 04: Final Departure

Our representative will drop you off at airport for your flight back home or to your next destination. If you want to extend your trip, or want to go for a one day adventure trip, we will arrange that for you.
