Day 2 : Drive from Kathmandu to Sundarijal, then Hike to Chisapani 2375m/7791
We drive from Kathmandu to Sundarijal in the morning after a hurried breakfast. It’s a serene location surrounded by lush trees, pure water sources, and canopy cover. We truly begin our ascent to Chisapani at this point. We follow the trail through several towns and thickly forested areas, arriving at Chisapani after five hours.
Chisapani is home to the Sherpa highlanders, and from here, there are breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. To our surprise, as the evening is coming to an end, we are enthralled by a stunning sunset.
Day 3 : Trek to Nagarkot 2175m/7135ft.
This morning, after a hearty breakfast, we depart from Nagarkot for Chispani. Walking this specific trekking path is quite taxing. The route leads by dense forests and a range of topographical elements before reaching Chauki Bhanjyang. We hastily eat lunch and take a brief respite here. After a little break, we resume our journey through the breathtaking landscape of Nagarkot. As you approach the slope, amazing views of massive peaks appear, luring you in. Its beauty is enhanced by the sunset, which captivates your attention and awakens your senses. It is a powerful depiction of the Himalayas at its best.
