Start the Journey
The Chisopani Nagarkot Trek starts from Kathmandu with a short drive to Sundarijal one of the less populated areas on the outskirts of the capital. Here our short trek in Nepal commences. We hike up to Chisopani exactly translated to Cold Water. Being higher then Kathmandu the weather is mostly refreshing colder, hence the name Chisopani. From here the real adventure starts.

Now the Chisopani Nagarkot Trek takes a cultural side as we head down to the Changunarayan Temple deep in the forest. After roaming around this medieval temple we take a vehicle to Bhaktapur. Once an old Newari Kingdom, Bhaktapur has a lot to offer. A visit to the old royal durbar square is just what we need. Explore around the small alleys and visit the old palaces, museums and temples.
