Chisapani Day Hike

Chisapani is a popular mountain view spot offering excellent close view of Everest and Langtang ranges. We first drive from Kathmandu to Sundarijal (1 hr) and walk for 4 hours to reach Chisapani ridge. The uphill walk is through the Shivapurai national park. On the way we pass through some ethnic settlements, otherwise the walk is mostly through forests .Once we reach Chisapani at the end of the hike, cool and beautiful hill with close view of eastern Himalayas will greet us. Next morning we watch sunrise on the Himalayas from our lodge. The lodge will be a family inn with good basic facilities but no luxury. The return walk is through very lovely, dense forest, a non touristy trail in totally natural atmosphere. During the winter, wildlives- specially spotted deers and wild fowls are seen as they come out of the forest in the open sun. We take our picnic lunch en route and catch our car back to Kathmandu once we emerge to the roadhead.
