The Chisapani Nagarkot hike can enhance the intriguing sensation of being close to nature, cooperative rural Nepalese people, and heartbreaking views of the White Mountains, including Gaurishankar Range, Manaslu Range, and the Langtang range, from both Chisapani and Nagarkot. The trek's wonderful draw is also the view of the dawn from Nagarkot. Numerous stunning Buddhist Gompas and Hindu temples are located in the area.The people' unique culture and traditions make Chisapani Nagarkot Trekking a well known sport.

This quick Chisapani to Nagarkot hike, which is available throughout the year, is an ideal way to explore Kathmandu and get away from the city for the weekend. This is a fantastic method to unwind the body and the mind whether you are a local of Kathmandu or a visitor. Chisapani may be reached by walking for roughly 4-5 hours, after a 1:30 minute drive from  Kathmandu to Sundarijal 32 km. The climb, which is located in Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, leads through leafy forests, waterfalls and through bubbling springs. 

The Chisapani Nagarkot Trek is carried inside the Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, and entry to the park without a permit is illegal. The 159 sq km Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park is located on the northern edge of the Kathmandu Valley and Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park is separated by a 14-kilometer distance from the city centre.The actual distance on the road to Shivapuri is 35.7 kilometers. In 2002, the region was established as the eighth national park of Nepal. It was governed by the Shivapuri Watershed Development Board before becoming a national park, and it eventually became the Shivapuri Watershed and Wildlife Reserve. 

Moreover, if you travel counter-clockwise, Chisapani is the first camp on the Langtang Gosainkunda trek, a famous Hindu pilgrimage site: if you travel clockwise, it is the last destination. Furthermore, trekkers can depart from here and take a trip to Helambu trek expedition. The Chisapani Nagarkot trek can be concluded within a 3 days trip. At the end of the first day's climb, we will arrive in Chisapani, where we will be greeted by a cool, lovely hill with a close-up view of the eastern Himalayas. The next morning, we  will hike to Nagarkot to watch the sunrise over the Himalayas. And on the final day we will descend down to Changunarayan for three to four hours after breakfast. In Changu Narayan  we will  take this opportunity to explore the temple, sculpture and images dedicated to Lord Vishnu, one among three supreme gods in Hindu mythology, known as  the god of protection. After our visit to the Changu Narayan Temple, we will depart to Kathmandu by  private vehicle, which includes an hour drive.
