Trip Introduction: Nagarkot Changu Narayan Day hiking-1 Day

Nagarkot Changunaryan is a short day of hiking through the high hills to the temple with artistic design. It is one of the famous and classic hiking trails that take you to the beautiful and famous hill station Nagarkot. It is best for short-time travelers trying to escape from the rush of Kathmandu.

Nagarkot Changunaryan Day Hiking starts from Nagarkot, it’s a one-hour drive from Kathmandu to Nagarkot. Nagarkot is a small village 7200 ft above sea level, the most popular hill station near Kathmandu. From Nagarkot, our hike forwards through the terraced fields, dense Tamang traditional village, with typical countryside houses painted with locally found bricks. As walking ahead, we experience the culture and lifestyle of the native people on the trail. After that, we pass through the deciduous forest, a close watch on flora and fauna. We have to climb the first 20 minutes, and a normal flat countryside trail (2 hours). Then we finally reach Changunaryan, the ending point of this hike, one of the UNESCO world heritage sites in Nepal. Changu Narayan is the pleasant oldest Temple of Kathmandu Valley dating back to the 7th century and is listed in the UNESCO World Heritage sites. The downhill hike from Changunaryan to Cultural City Bhaktapur is downhill screening most of the majestic mountains and hills. Nagarkot Changunaryan day hiking offer amazing view of Himalayas like Ganesh Himal, Langtang, Shisha Pangma (8013m), Gang Chenpo (6397m), Dome Blanc (6830m), Dorje Lakpa (6990m), Lonpo Gang (7083m) and Purbi Chyachu (6658m), Gauri Shankar and Mt.

    Perfect one day hike from Kathmandu

    While in Kathmandu for a short trip we decided last minute to do a one day hike within the Kathmandu area. I sent out a few requests to different trekking companies but Dipak was very quick to response and had one of the most reasonable prices. Dipak organized a great one day hike up from Nagarkot to Changunarayan. The walking is easy with gradual downhill and fairly leveled path. It will take about 4 hrs to reach Changunarayan.

    Narayan, our guide was very knowledgable and had a good sense of humor.

    It was a perfect day to get out of the noise and pollution of Kathmandu.

    Dipak also arranged a last minute bungy jump excursion for the following day. He met me at the restaurant we were eating supper to sign forms and make sure I got registered and then met me at 5:45 am the next morning to make sure I got to the correct location. Awesome customer service.
