Overview

Chisapani to Nagarkot trek ranges from the eastern side of Kathmandu. It is relatively easy venture compared to other hiking and trekking routes of Nepal.

The trek encompasses well known ventures like  Chisapani, Nagarkot, Dhulikhel, Navobuddha, Banthali, Panauti.


The literal translation of chisapani is “cold water”. For instance, you can take the word that the venture is an interesting romance with the beautiful views of Annapurna to Langtang range and starting and ending point of Helambu trekking.


Apart from Chisapani, Nagarkot is a jumble hunt for the exquisite views of mountain ranges and sunrise. If you are lucky and the weather is favorable, the place is a great catch for the majestic views of the Himalayas including Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Langtang, Dorje Lakpa and Gauri Shanker, Everest


Dhulikhel is  a diverse tapestry of beautiful forests, floras and faunas to add to. Legends have it that It is one of the older settlements of Nepal. You wouldn’t want to miss the amazing blend of newari settlements between the hustles of city life at the very spot.


Namo Buddha is another important site at kavre district commonly known for the Buddhist pilgrimage and Tibetan heritage. It stands at an elevation of 1750m. The Stupa and shrines built on the hillside is a perfect blend of tibetian antique culture and precepts. This place is filled with the legends of a hermit who would feed his flesh to a bunch of hungry and undernourished cubs. The stone slab right beside the stupa is a pleasant work of art to depict this incident.
