You will be picked up from your hotel in the morning and taken on a drive to Sundarijal. From here, we start our hike through the Shivapuri watershed and wildlife reserve to Chisapani coming across the first settlement on the way at Mulkharka inhabited mostly by Tamangs. Then heading down the ridge through oak and rhododendron forests we arrive at Chisapani where we will stay at guesthouse for the night.
In the morning, we have our breakfast and set off on our hike to Nagarkot. As we walk for two and half hours, we come across a place called Chauki Bhanjyang from where we continue on our trail to Nagarkot. One of the most popular destinations, Nagarkot is famous for the mesmerizing sites of sunrise and sunset. On a clear day, we can see the Himalayan range stretching from Dhaulagiri in the west to Everest in the middle to Kanchenjunga in the east. This view of the Himalayan range takes your breath away. In the evening, we will witness the awe-inspiring view of sunset.
We start our morning with the charismatic view of the first rays of the sun falling on the majestic Himalayan range. As we return back to our hotel, we are served hot breakfast to fulfill the need of our hungry tummy. Once our tummy is satisfied, we set on our hike to Changunarayan Temple, one of the most famous and oldest temples of Lord Vishnu in Kathmandu valley. From here, we will be taken back to Kathmandu marking the end of our three days hike.
