Our Nagarkot Chagunarayan Hiking is very popular day hiking near Kathmandu valley that gives you amazing mountain views.  The short sweet hike begins at Nagarkot (2195m), a scenic hilltop in the foothills of Nepal’s might Himalayas. Though Nagarkot is just a hop and a skip from Kathmandu, you’ll get surprisingly incredible views of the world’s tallest mountains. From Dhaulagiri (8167m) in the west to Mount Everest (8848m) and Kanchenjunga (8586m) in the east (the 7th, 1st, and 3rd tallest peaks in the world, respectively), you’ll be blown away by the sheer size and beauty of these mountains.

We begin our hike here, passing through quaint villages and verdant forests.  It does not take long to realize that the speed of life here is much different than in Kathmandu.  Not to mention, the pure air of the forests refreshes us.  Continuing on the relaxed hike, we reach Changunarayan Temple, an UNESCO World Heritage site and a revered place for Hindus, who come here to worship Vishnu.  Actually, it is the oldest temple in Kathmandu, believed to be constructed over 1,500 years ago! After we visit the temple, we head back to Kathmandu.
