Chisapani is about 16 kilometers away from Kathmandu, and its name means "Cold Water," indicating the perpetually chilly air. Chisapani Nagarkot trek is our ultimate destination for the day and is 16 kilometers from Sundarijal. We kickstart our morning at the hotel in Kathmandu with a hearty breakfast. Our journey begins with private transportation to the northeast of Kathmandu, reaching Sundarijal in about an hour.

At the check post, we present our permits for Shivapuri and Nagarjuna National Parks, allowing us access.
This leads us to Pani Muhan, a water supply point for the people of Kathmandu. Following this, we steadily climb cemented steps to Mulkharka. Approximately two and a half hours later, we reach the summit of Mulkharka and enjoy a delightful lunch in the local village. Post-lunch, we follow a trail that gradually ascends through a serene rhododendron and oak forest, culminating at the ridge of Deurali. Passing Deurali, we are treated to a picturesque view of snow-capped peaks such as Langtang, Ganesh Himal, and more.
After savouring the mountainous vistas, we continuously descend towards our final destination, Chisapani, in the lap of Shivapuri and Nagarjuna National Park. Upon reaching the hotel, we are greeted by greenery, countryside landscapes, and hilly terrain, all complemented by a clear, stunning Himalayan panoramic view featuring many snow-capped mountains, including the majestic Mt Everest.
