the Sundarijal-Chisopani-Nagarkot trek can be the best option for you. On this trek you will love hill walking through temperate forests and alpine pastures, beautiful villages viewing the Himalayan mountain range. Early in the morning, we make a 45-minute drive from Kathmandu up to the trailhead at Sundarijal and then slowly walk uphill to Chisapani. The first two hours of the climb are very challenging, a straight continuous steep uphill path. During the first two hours of trekking, we traverse through Shivapuri National Park. After 3 hours of trekking, we will start moving downhill until we reach Chisapani. It is a very beautiful place to spend overnight. We can see the Himalayan mountain range including Ganesh Himal and the entire Langtang range from this village. In Chisapani, you will find many resorts and hotels for a night stay. The morning view of the mountain range from the hotel is awesome. The weather in Chisapani is always cool and pleasant as its name ‘ Chisapani’, literally means cold water. Here you will enjoy the real boon of nature being away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Despite this, trekkers can get a chance to interact with the local villagers and experience their culture and traditional lifestyle.

Leaving Chisapani village we head to our next destination- Nagarkot. On the way, you hear only birds chirping and find yourself on the trails except for a few numbers of grazing cattle. Nagarkot is considered one of the best spots to see the stunning Himalayas, sunrise and sunset. Even locals love to visit here to enjoy the beauty of nature and to rejuvenate their body, mind, and spirit in a tranquil environment. After the Nagarkot visit, we returned to Kathmandu and concluded the trip. This trek is suitable for hikers of all levels and ages.
