Chisapani Nagarkot hiking is the closest 3-day trekking destination from the capital city of Kathmandu. Chisapani trek is one of the most scenic and demanding treks among visitors and hikers, which starts after one one-hour (14km) drive to the east from Kathmandu valley called Sundarijal. Alternatively, you can start this trek after the short drive to Budhanilkantha (Sleeping Bishnu) Temple from the north of Kathmandu and end at Changunarayan Temple. This 3-day trek is best for those who have a short holiday time, a limited budget, are interested in hiking adventures, and are keen to experience the cultural blend and natural attraction with flora and fauna.

Chisapani (2300m), and Nagarkot (2175 m) both are the perfect vantage for sunrise, sunset, and close-up view of the Himalayas including the Ganesh Himal ranges, Manaslu range, and eastern Himalayas like Everest and Makalu. The trekking route to Chisapani is from Sundarijal-Mulkharka through the dense forest including Rhododendron Forest into the Shivapuri National Park. Nagarkot is another scenic hill station 32km away from Kathmandu. Nagarkot was also a part of the Kathmandu Valley and a few fort was built to monitor the internal and external activities in the valley. Later on, it was converted into a summer retreat center for the Royal families. The additional top-up of the trek is visiting Changunarayan Temple which is famous for its wood carving, stone carving, and metal carving. The Changunarayan Temple was built in the 2nd century during the Lichivi Dynasty in Pagoda style.
