Nagarkot Trek is one of the most popular short treks done in and around Kathmandu Valley. Nagarkot, situated 32km far from the heart of the capital city, is a popular viewpoint from where you can get stunning views of the mountain panorama and mesmerizing sunrise.
Nagarkot and Chisapani trek will take you away from the pollution, and the hustle-bustle of the city to the refreshing hill of Nagarkot via Chisapani. This short trek done in the outskirts of Kathmandu will take you through lush jungles, settlement areas, water springs, and sections of Shivapuri National Park, and finally get you to Nagarkot Hill. The Chisapani village is a beautiful village situated at the hill ridge surrounding Kathmandu, where you can see the day-to-day life of people living around Kathmandu. The trek spans 3 days and 2 nights, allowing you to see a mesmerizing view of the mountain wall that stretches on the northern border of Nepal and glimpses of life around the capital of the country.
The trip begins with a 1-hour drive from Kathmandu to Sundarijal waterfall, the point from where the Bagmati river starts flowing in a rather flat land. You will trek through Mulkharka, a beautiful village from where you can get a breathtaking view of the Kathmandu valley, to Chisapani. From Chispani you will traverse through Haibung, Jhule, Jharsing pauwa finally to Nagarkot. At Nagarkot, you will get a breathtaking view of mountain peaks. You can also spot Mt. Everest from very far distance from Nagarkot. You then will spend a night in Nagarkot to enjoy the next sunrise view. Later you will then trek to Changu Narayan to explore this ancient artifact of a temple that reflects the traditional art and architecture.
Breakfree Adventures has a professionally designed Nagarkot Trek Itinerary and travel plan which further simplifies your expedition and ensures a high level of safety and security during the trek.
Nagarkot Trek is one of the most rewarding easy and short hikes done around Kathmandu valley. Despite being short and easy the natural and cultural immersion is no less than any trek done in high altitude. If you are already in the valley then the trek can be concluded in just 3 days. The elevation gain is also not significant so there is no chance that you will be overwhelmed by the difficulty of the trail. The ascend and descends are moderate, with frequent rest during the hike anyone can do this trek without any issues. Nagarkot Chisapani Trek can be a stand-alone trek or it can be add-on activities that you might want to do when you are in Nepal. Rejuvenate yourself after your long business meeting, work travel, or anything that might have slacked you. Have a time constraint? Don’t worry, this trek will take you amidst the lush forest taking you back to nature and giving you a chance to spot Mt. Everest from Nagarkot, a place which is not so far from the capital.
Nagarkot is one of the best vantage points along the Kathmandu Valley rim, elevated at 2175 m. Situated northeast of the Kathmandu valley, the hilltop provides an amazing view of a mountain range from Everest to the east to Annapurna to the west.
Langtang Range is the closest mountain range to Nagarkot and because of that the mountain peaks of Langtang Massif are prominent mountain peaks seen from Nagarkot. To name a few, Langtang Himal, Dorje Lakpa, Gangchempo, Tsangbo Ri, etc. along with mountain peaks of Langtang range mountains like Ganesh Himal, Gauri Shankar, Salsungo, and Pabil Peak are some mountains seen from Nagarkot. Along with the magnificent views of Langtang Range, one can also spot Mt. Everest on the eastern side of the mountain panorama very far.

Nagarkot Chisapani Trek will take you through verdant forests, watershed areas, and hill ridges, so you will get an opportunity to get closer to Nature.
