Commencing from Sundarijal, a 45-minute drive from Kathmandu, the Chisapani Nagarkot Trek commences its journey.

The journey from Chisapani to Lapsi Phedi, amid lush jungles and echoing bird melodies, is a gratifying escapade.
Approximately 3 to 4 hours from Chisapani, a well-deserved lunch break awaits you, the hike proceeds to Nagarkot, an enchanting village adorned with standard hotels, lodges, and resorts. Witness the enchanting sunrise from Nagarkot, a spectacle casting golden hues upon the snow-clad mountains. Situated at an elevation of 2195 meters, Nagarkot offers panoramic views of both the mountains and the Kathmandu Valley.
The expedition includes a visit to Changunarayan Temple, one of Nepal’s oldest Hindu temples, providing a unique insight into the religious practices of the local populace. Concluding the adventure is a captivating tour of the medieval ancient town of Bhaktapur, ensuring an indelible and beautiful lifetime experience.
