Kathmandu Valley Tour

6 Days 5 Nights

The Kathmandu Valley Ridge Hike is a short yet enriching 4-day trekking experience along the scenic ridgelines surrounding the Kathmandu Valley. Ideal for those seeking a taste of trekking without going too far from the city, this route offers stunning Himalayan views, charming villages, and peaceful forest trails.

The journey begins with a short drive from Kathmandu to Sundarijal, the entry point to Shivapuri–Nagarjun National Park—Nepal’s youngest national park. From there, a 5-hour trek leads you to Chisapani, a peaceful village offering your first overnight stay and sweeping views of the mountains.

The next day, continue the hike from Chisapani to Nagarkot, a popular hill station known for its sunrise and sunset views over the Himalayas. The 6-hour trek passes through serene forests, traditional villages, and terraced fields, giving you a real taste of rural life in Nepal.

Wake early the following morning to catch the spectacular sunrise from Nagarkot, then begin your hike to Dhulikhel, a culturally rich town known for its Newari heritage and panoramic mountain scenery.
