  About Trip 
Chisapani Trek
 is the most demanding, short and an adventurous smooth trek all at once. This is one of the most beautiful and classic trek which begins from 1 hrs drive to east of Kathmandu valley called Sundarijal and ends up on Changu Narayan. This trek best suits for those who has limited time, budget, and are a beginner who still prefer to experience the adventure in Nepal and it’s unspoiled gorgeousness. It is a perfect way of exploring blended, cultural and natural attractions. The dense walk thorugh the jungle, terrace farming, local lifestyle, world heritage sites and massif chain of the Himalayas surroundings are the major attribution of the trek. The trek is equally popular for internal and external tourists.

Chisapani along with Nagarkot is the finest view point for sunrise, sun set and close up view of the Ganesh Himal, langtan Himal and the Everest himalayan range. Nagarkot is situated 32 km East from Kathmandu valley and 2175m from the sea level. While it is situated on top of the strategic hill, Nagarkot was an ancient fort of the Kathmandu Valley, which was built to monitor the external activities of other kingdoms. Later it became, kind of a summer retreat for the Royal family before becoming well-knowned as an international hill station. Additionally the Nagarkot hill is quite known for a day tour too. Moreover, our final destination of UNESCO world heritage site Changu Narayan adds an extra value to the trek. Changu Narayan is also known as the second biggest God of Hindu called Bishnu.
