Chisapani and Nagarkot Hiking

Trip Overview

Chisapani and Nagarkot Hiking are the two popular hiking choices that one can stumble upon around the hills out of Kathmandu. The trail is easy,safe while combining the diverse local life, natural surroundings, landscapes and flora & fauna for people/hikers of all ages in the region.

The drive from Kathmandu to Sundarijal starts off the journey while the hike towards the Tamang Village i.e Mulkharka indicates the start of the hike on the journey. Then the hike continues towards Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park which was established in 2002 A.D. covering the landscape in Kathmandu, Nuwakot, Dhading and Sindhupalchowk districts of Nepal. The National Park is located in the subtropical and lowers temperate zone of Nepal with various floras like Schima-Castanopsis, Pine, Oak and Rhododendron dominating the vegetation.

A mix of cultural tradition and ethnicity of Brahmins, Tamangs, Gurungs, Sherpas can be enjoyed while hiking in the mid-hill section of this region. The hiking trail is safe, easy and well maintained and walking uphill and downhill is required mostly every day. So, hikers need to be prepared to walk a minimum of 5 to 7 hours every day. But the views one can get after long hours of walk to Chisapani Village and Nagarkot Hill is amazing as one can gaze upon Langtang Himalayas, Gauri Shankar and Jugal Himalayas ranges of the north-east of Nepal Himalayas.
