Detailed Itinerary

Day 1

Drive to Sundarijal and Trek to Chisapani (2150 m)

Your journey starts with an hour-long drive to Sundarijal which is the origin of the water supply for Kathmandu. Once we are there, you will officially begin your Chisapani Nagarkot trek. You start hiking through the vertical stone-paved stairs making your way to the Shivapuri National Park where you will take a National park entrance permit to continue ahead. The trail gradually up with the forest of pine and oak. Shivapuri National Park is known for its diverse floras and faunas and local wildlife.

 

After taking the permit, you can continue your trek to Chisapani. As you are walking, you will come across several settlements from a variety of ethnic groups, including a unique Mulkharka settlement inhabited by Tamang people. Throughout the journey, you will be amazed by the stunning mountain views of Langtang Himal, Ganesh Himal, Mt. Gaurisankar, Dorje Lakpa, Everest Himalaya Range, Gaurishankar Range, and Annapurna range. It will take you 6 to 7 hours to reach Chisapani and once you get there, you will explore the hilly village throughout the day. Overnight stay at a guesthouse in Chisapani.

Day 2

Chisapani to Nagarkot Hiking (2195 m)

The next day you will wake up early in the morning before sunrise. Chisapani provides you with a spectacular viewpoint from where you can explore a magnificent sunrise with panoramic Himalayas vistas. Following a nourishing breakfast, you will continue your Chisapani Nagarkot trekking. Today will be an easy journey as you won’t have to climb much. However, you still have to walk a bit longer, and sometimes need to walk up and down through the dense forest, massive woodlands, an army camp, and small villages.

 

After walking for 3 hours, you will reach Chauki Bhyanjyang where you will have lunch. You will then continue walking on flatlands before ascending towards Nagarkot. There is a view tower in the area, Nagarkot View Tower that provides you with a more clear view of the Himalayas with the binoculars paired to it. You will have a good dinner in a hotel, either in an inexpensive or deluxe one, based on your preference, and stay overnight there.

Day 3

Nagarkot to Changu Narayan to Kathmandu (Drive)

This morning today is the highlight of your Chisapani Nagarkot Hiking because, on this day, you will witness a mesmerizing sunrise over 8 out of the 13 Himalayan ranges.  The view of the sun rising over the majestic mountains will leave you overwhelmed. This is what has made Nagarkot a top attraction among visitors for enjoying Himalayan views without a tough walk.

 

After exploring the beautiful sunrise, you will have breakfast and then hike for 4 hours towards Changu Narayan Temple. Following the exciting hike with beautiful views of local villages, you will finally reach Changu Narayan Temple. It is a pagoda-style Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu in his incarnation as Narayan.

The tour gave me such an amazing experience, especially about the cultural, historical and religious values of Nepalis. 2 colleagues and me went on 1 tour of NBM Travel, in 4 nights and 5 days in Nepal (Limbini, Nagarkot, and Kathmandu). Mr Sujit, the Manager was very supportive in arranging a customized tour for us, meeting all our requirements. He is very responsive and professional, with quite good connections to help us (our domestic flight was delayed, he managed to get us on board of an earlier flight)Mr Subash, the Tour Guide, was also responsible and hospitable. He always tried to make us enjoy the trip. He is also expertised in his job, knowing a lot of information about the tourist attractions. He was very ready to help when we want to buy local fruits, and very collaborative when we want to change the schedule.The tour gave me such an amazing experience, especially about the cultural, historical and religious values of Nepalis. In our tour, we also planned to see the Himalayan Ranges from our Hotel in Nagarkot and from Chandragiri Hills, but the weather was so cloudy during our stay. It may be a good reason for our come back to Nepal next time and enjoy the hospitality of NBM Team.

Fantastic We had such a fantastic experience in Nepal with this tour company. We were overwhelmed by how welcoming and warm Sudarshan and his team were from the moment we arrived. We felt so comparable and taken care of in the beautiful Nivas Botique home in Kathmandu. The rooms are beautiful and very comfortable. We enjoyed delicious, complimentary authentic Nepalese meals and had such a fanatic stay here. We travelled to Pokhara for 2 nights in very comfortable private transportation. We had a fantastic 2 days of activities including paragliding and white water rafting, all organised for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip and I couldn’t recommend using this travel company more. We will definitely be back in the future!

绝美风景,期待下次再见 不同于之前在国内看到的雪山,喜马拉雅山系的雪山绵延不绝,又高又长,能见度好的时候能看到一片的雪山,感觉自己第一次离雪山那么近,超震撼的感觉。看到了鱼尾峰的鱼尾巴,好美!雨林里山中的空气超级好,刚好走的那段路像原始丛林一般,很美空气很新鲜,竟然有点爱上这种雨中漫步的感觉~选的旅行社的老板人真的很好!安排的十分妥当,爱上这种异国他乡的快乐啦哈哈!不过这是我们第一次相遇,但绝对不是最后一次相聚!

很棒的旅游体验-Kathmandu 一直有想去尼泊尔旅行的想法,前些日子终于下决心仔细研究了,人生地不熟的,问了朋友的朋友有没有旅行社推荐,就推荐了这家,英文名NBM中文名大山旅游,老板中文名也叫大山,感觉对中国文化很有研究,让我们这种出国游的感觉很安心。老板很靠谱,给安排了懂中文的向导,沟通很顺利,人也很亲切。不得不说尼泊尔景色真不错,适合放松身心,有机会的话还会再来,也会多推荐大山旅游的。

Great if you have limited time to visit the city I was in Nepal in November and after a trek of 10 days I only had 1 and a half day to visit Kathmandu. I found out many places to visit in Kathmandu are far from each other (5 to 10 km) and walking between places is not an option (heavy traffic). So I decided to book a private tour (I was a solo traveller) and had a great experience. My guide Raj took me to all the important places , UNESCO sites, and explained everything about the place we were visiting. I would recommend this tour to anyone who has limited time to explore the city. -1 point as the guides will take you to shop/restaurant they have an agreement with, I didn't mind the shop as they don't force you to buy anything, but I would have wanted to choose the restaurant by myself

Cable Car Trip near Kathmandu Me and my friends travelled Kathmandu this July and we went for a short distance trip to Chandragiri Hill. Cable Car took us to Chandragiri hill, which is best to escape from hustle and bustle of Kathmandu. The view of Kathmandu was beautiful as rain cleared up the sky. The guide we were provided was professional and he told us incredible stories of the hill. Overall it was fantastic trip.

Trekking, Local, culture views and sites 5 days in Nepal trek was awesome. We went to Sundarijal, then to Chisapani walking a lot of stairs and then to Nagarkot. We could see beautiful peaks from Dhaulagiri to Everest. People at Sundarijal seem very friendly. All in all, our trek was very nice and we enjoyed it very much.

Amazing Trip! Thank you to the folks at NBM Travel for an awesome trip to Nepal! Shristi was incredibly helpful with coordinating everything and answering all of my silly logistical questions from the moment I booked the trip. My tour guide Mani provided so much support on the tour, from sharing his knowledge about Nepali culture and history, to helping me find souvenirs at a good price, to rearranging our itinerary when we had weather delays. I chose this tour specifically to learn about the many cultures and lifestyles of Nepal and was not disappointed. Each location was so different from the last - Kathmandu is the chaotic capital, Chitwan is a gorgeous jungle where you’ll see animals that you’d never expect to see up close in real life (still can’t believe how close I was to crocodiles and a rhino!), and Pokhara feels like a cute beach resort. We were unable to go to Lumbini due to weather, so we spent an extra day in Pokhara and an extra day in Kathmandu, which worked out fine for relaxing and shopping. Even the bus rides between cities were interesting because you could see examples of life in the countryside and some really cool landscapes. There was a decent balance of sightseeing and free time, and I really liked each of the hotels we stayed at. If you are interested in learning about Nepal beyond trekking, this is a great introduction. They have such an interesting diversity and unique history, I wish more people knew about it!If you go in July, like I did, you’ll likely catch some rain (monsoon season), so make sure you pack accordingly! Rain boots, rain coat, and quick dry pants worked well on rainy days and the boat tour/jungle trek in Chitwan, plus a few pairs of comfortable pants and a pair of sandals for sunny days. Don’t let the name “monsoon” scare you off from coming if this is the only time of year you can go. You’ll still see, do, and eat a lot! (Make sure you have dal bhat and momo while you are here...they are the best!)
