The trip starts from Chisapani
After a 45-minute drive from Kathmandu, you reach Sundarijal from where this trip begins. From there, after a 5-hour walk, you reach Chisapani. Chisapani means “cold water” where the weather is always cold and you will enjoy the real gift of nature.
To reach Chisapani, you walk through the lush forest areas of Shivpuri National Park and see some of the beautiful ethnic settlements in the area. Chisapani village is a mixed settlement of Tamang, Gurung, Sherpa, Chhetri, and Brahmins where you will have a good opportunity to interact with the locals and engage with the village lifestyle.
Lodges in Chisapani are family-friendly and have good basic amenities but are not a luxury. On the second night of your trip to Nagarkot, you can find good luxury hotels. You spend one night in Chisapani and then travel to Nagarkot. The road from Chisapani to Nagarkot is already connected but it is not busy.
The next day you start the journey for the UNESCO heritage site Chagunarayan Temple which takes 4 hours. It is the most ancient temple built in the 5th century in the Kathmandu Valley. After visiting Changunarayan, drive to Kathmandu to end the trek.
This is to be an amazing experience for anyone who wants to see the true beauty of nature in a short and easy trek near the Kathmandu Valley. If you have time, trekking can extend to Dhulikhel and Namo Buddha for 1-2 days.
The Autumn and spring seasons are good for the Nagarkot trek. But you can do it throughout the year due to the easy short-distance trek. Normal fitness is enough for the Nagarkot trek and you don’t need any previous trekking experience.

Have just returned from my fourth trip to Nepal and as always Odyssey Treks organized everything superbly. We visited Makalu relatively late in the season and were rewarded with empty trails and amazing weather. Karma was as entertaining, friendly, and informative as ever along with Ang Dawa Sherpa who together made the three weeks perfect.
They also organized a few days to Helambu at short notice as I had some time spare, all done easily and professionally. Thanks for the company both and I will be back again. I cannot recommend Odyssey highly enough as a genuinely friendly, locally based company that provides not only unforgettable experiences but also great service at a very reasonable cost.
Thanks.

I have just returned from the trip of a lifetime. Always wanted to visit and see the Himalayas and to have completed the trip with the most excellent hosts really made the trip come alive. Odyssey took care of everything and ensured that we experienced real Nepalese hospitality. We climbed up to 3700 meters, saw Ganesh Himal, experienced true excitement on the trek, ate superbly produced fresh food along the route..and above all met some amazing people. Thanks to Karma, Rinji, and our fantastic porters…without you guys it wouldn’t have happened!! All the best. Alex
