If you are looking for a short and easy countryside trekking not so far from Kathmandu, Sundarijal-Chisopani-Nagarkot trek can be the best option. On this trek you will love hill walking through temperate forests and alpine pastures, beautiful villages viewing Himalayan mountain range. Early in the morning we make a 45 min drive from Kathmandu up to trail head at Sundarijal and then slowly walk uphill to Chisapani. The first two hours climb is 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 Himalayan mountain range including Ganesh Himal and entire Langtang range from this village. At chisapani, there are only few numbers of resorts and hotels available. The morning view of the mountain range from 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 and have an opportunity 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 a few number of grazing cattle. Nagarkot is considered one of the best spot to see 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 Nagarkot visit we return to Kathmandu and conclude the trip. This trek is suitable for trekkers of all levels and age.
