Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a peaceful walk on this day hiking trip to Nagarkot. This gentle hike is suitable for the entire family!
We'll drive from Kathmandu to Sankhu, an ancient Newar and religious town. This is where we'll begin the Nagarkot hike. After crossing the river, the trail leads you through terraced rice fields before heading through dense woods. Take a rest in Kattike and then continue walking on a gradual uphill trail until you reach to Nagarkot.
The popular tourist hill of Nagarkot offers a fabulous view of Everest, Langtang and Gaurishanker region peaks. Stay an extra day if you choose, and enjoy the brilliant sunrise view over the Himalayas. The 1-day Nagarkot Hike ends at the hill before heading back to Kathmandu by vehicle.
Located about 7km north of Thamel, Nagarjun Hill is dominated by stone steps through lush woods. Escape from the city for a day, enjoy the fresh air and join us for this enchanting one-day hike to Nagarjun. The route takes about six hours up and down and passes through Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park.
The hike, also known as the hike to Jamacho Gumba, will reward you view breathtaking views from the top of the hill, once home to a former king. On a clear day, you can see the Everest, Gaurisanker and Langtang Himalayan range, lush hills, the picturesque Kathmandu Valley and all the surroundings.
If you don’t have enough time, are hiking with family, or prefer a short and easy adventure, this day hike from Pokhara to Australian Camp and Dhampus is a perfect choice. The journey begins with a 2.5-hour uphill hike from Kande through forests and villages, offering breathtaking views of Annapurna, Machhapuchhre, and Hiunchuli.
After a scenic lunch at Australian Camp, enjoy a gentle 45-minute downhill walk to Dhampus village. This Gurung village gives you a glimpse of local life, terraced fields, and traditional hospitality. It’s a great option for those seeking light hiking, nature, and culture—all in one day, close to Pokhara.
Nagurjun Hike is a day program with a hike to the nearby Nagarjun hill located 23 km north-west of Kathmandu city. Nagarjun hill is at 6300 feet above the sea-level and this program is one of the popular day hikes around Kathmandu Valley.
The hike is through Shivapuri National Park which has abundant flora and faunas. Upon reaching the top, the summit provides majestic panorama view of the entire Kathmandu Valley including the snow-capped mountains like Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, Ganesh Himal and other majestic Himalayan peaks.
Any age groups can participate in this and it gives a nice approach to what it’s like to be hiking in the Himalayan region, albeit much closer to Kathmandu City, compared with e.g. a trek to Annapurna Circuit.
We look forward to giving you a great day hike.
Join us on this guided day tour from Nagarkot to Dhulikhel. Get the chance to escape from the hustle and bustle of the Kathmandu Valley and enjoy great views along the route. Our guide & driver will pick you up from the hotel and drive you to Nagarkot. Hike to the top of the view tower to see the mountains (pray for a clear day). Walkthrough forests, past small villages and farmlands en route to Dhulikhel.
Reach Dhulikhel, another popular viewpoint for travellers wanting to see the mountains. Visit an old Newar settlement in Dhulikhel and see ancient Hindu temples and age-old houses as you walk down its narrow alleyways. Drive from Dhulikhel back to Kathmandu after that. We will drop you off at your hotel.
Start your day with a calm canoe ride on the Rapti River. You might see many birds and two special crocodiles—the Marsh Mugger and the fish-eating Gharial—resting by the water. After the ride, enjoy a guided walk through the jungle. You’ll learn about useful plants, see butterflies, and maybe spot some shy animals hiding in the trees. On the way back, you can watch—or even help—wash elephants in the river.
After lunch and some rest, embark on an exciting jeep safari in Chitwan National Park. Look out for the one-horned rhinoceros, various deer, wild boars, monkeys, leopards, sloth bears, and, if you’re lucky, the Royal Bengal Tiger.
In the evening, enjoy a Tharu dance show, a fun way to learn about the local people and their culture.
