Chisapani Nagarkot Trek uniquely designed trek encircles the three great trekking places, guaranteeing the best feeling of nature coupled with picturesque views of neatly terraced villages & fields and spectacular mountains. Together, they make up a great trekking experience!
We start our trek from Sundarijal, which is only an hour drive from the center point of Kathmandu. Even though, it’s the near to the hustle and bustle of the city, Sundarijal is largely hilly in its terrain with few flat areas, totally covered by dense forests. The vast amount of ‘Sundarijal’ falls under ‘Shivapuri national park’. Hence, its vegetation consists of mostly pine, oak, rhododendron, and other forest types. Wildlife recorded in the area includes the Himalayan Black bear, leopard, jungle cat, and rhesus monkey. The area around Sundarijal is the habitat of 177 species of birds, which includes at least nine threatened species, 102 species of butterflies with several endangered species, and 129 species of mushrooms
Apart from the rich bio-diversity, the ever so beautiful natural high water springs, rivers and the encircling snow-capped mountains on the backdrop, adds to the excitement of this trek. From Sundarijal, we hike upwards to Chisapani (2194m), which is yet another marvelous view-point of sunrise and sunset. We ascend towards ‘Nagarkot’ from Chisapani; Nagarkot at an elevation of 2175 m is the most popular hill-station of Kathmandu. Nagarkot is so much more than just a view-point of sunrise or sunsets; it’s a great place to relax your mind and body and for once escape the daily routine hectic life.

Embarking on the Chisapani Nagarkot trek was an absolute delight! The trek provided a refreshing escape into the tranquil beauty of the Nepalese countryside. The serene landscapes, friendly locals, and stunning mountain vistas made it an unforgettable experience.
The trekking trail was well-maintained and offered a good balance of ascending and descending sections. The moderate level of difficulty made it accessible to a wide range of trekkers. The lush forests, terraced fields, and charming villages along the way showcased the natural and cultural diversity of the region.
One of the highlights of the Chisapani Nagarkot trek was reaching the viewpoint at Chisapani Nagarkot itself. From there, I was rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the Himalayas. The sight of snow-capped peaks bathed in the soft light of the rising or setting sun was simply mesmerizing.
The interactions with the local communities were heartwarming. The villagers were welcoming and eager to share their customs and way of life. Staying in cozy teahouses and enjoying delicious local meals added to the authenticity of the experience.
The peacefulness and tranquility of the Chisapani Nagarkot trek made it a perfect getaway from the noise and chaos of the city. It allowed me to connect with nature, rejuvenate my senses, and gain a deeper appreciation for the beauty of Nepal.
