Itinerary Introduction

Soak up Himalayan vistas without the risks of high-altitude hiking on this 3 day Nagarkot trek, known for its panoramic views of the Himalayas. This trek departure is daily all year round. If the weather is clear, soak up views of the Himalayas including Langtang and more. Day 1: Drive to Sundarijal (1,460 meters) and Chisapani (2,165 meters) (1 Hour drive and 5-6 hour hike) You'll begin by being met at your hotel, from where you will drive for an hour to your trek's starting point of Sundarijal. From Sundarijal, your trek begins uphill following a large water pipe coming down from the Sundarijal Reservoir. Following that you will enter the Shivapuri National Park from where you will proceed further to reach the Mulkharka Village. The trail then passes through Tamang Village before reaching Chisapani, from where you can spot great views of Langtang Lirung, Annapurna, Ganesh Himal, Manaslu, and Everest. In the evening you'll witness beautiful sunset views over the mountains, before spending the night at a lodge. Day 2: Chisapani to Nagarkot (2,175 meters) (6-7 hours hike) Following breakfast, the trek continues by ascending through a lush forest before descending down to Jhule and Chauki Bhanjyang. The trail then crosses some villages and terraced fields before reaching Kattike Bhanjyang. You will be required to ascend up to reach Nagarkot from Kattike Bhanjyang, which will offer great views of Kanchenjunga in the east, Dhaulagiri in the west, and Everest. Day 3: Nagarkot to Changu Narayan (1541m) & drive back to Kathmandu (3-4 hours hike & 1 hour drive) Your final day will begin with an early morning wake-up to observe the beautiful sunrise over the Himalayas. Following breakfast you will hike to Changu Narayan, where the trail descends downwards via Telkot. En route, you will encounter a bird’s eye view of both Bhaktapur and Kathmandu, before encountering the 323-A.D. Temple of Changu Narayan. Once at Changu, you will meet with your vehicle before driving back to Kathmandu to be dropped off at your hotel.
