9 Day Shivapuri – Nagarkot – Dhulikhel – Namobuddha – Panauti Hiking:

A representative from Everest Summit Treks and Expedition will meet you at the airport in Kathmandu and drive you to your three-star accommodations. You can relax at your accommodation or take a last-minute shopping and sightseeing tour of Thamel.

Following breakfast, we take the spectacular mountain path on the Trisuli road, which gives breathtaking views of green forests and mountain terraced farmland, for over an hour to reach Kakani. We reach the vantage point of Kakani, which is famous for its stunning views of Ganesh Himal on one side and Kathmandu City on the other. Mt. Gauri Shankar, Mt. Choba Bhamare, Mt. Mansalu, Mt. Himalchuli, Mt. Annapurna, and numerous other peaks are seen from the top of Kakani hill. With breathtaking views of Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Langtang, and Jugal Himal, we would be strolling through the forest and along the ridge.

Today, the walk from Aalendanda to Shivapuri is excellent, passing through a few villages, through a forest, and over a ridge with breathtaking views. Additionally, we can gain insight into the natives’ daily lives, culture, and religion. We may take in the breathtaking views of the Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Langtang and Jugal Himal, and Dorje Lakpa as we arrive in Shivapuri. We go to see the Nagi Gompan, which is situated in this beautiful area. Shivapuri Baba (hermit) Ashram is located close to Bagdwar, a couple of hours away from Nagi Gompa. For many years, the hermit used this place to contemplate. You will understand why the holy hermit decided to meditate here for so long if you take a stroll around Shivapuri’s tranquil woodland trails. Surrounding the Kathmandu valley is the second-highest hill, Shivapuri Watershed and Wild Life Reserve.

If you do not get up early, you will not have the opportunity to take pictures with the Himalayas and sunrise in the background. You are in a location that offers a beautiful view of the snow-capped Himalayan sunrise. We enjoy a filling breakfast and then begin our journey to Chisopani after taking in the Himalayan vistas. Another place to see sunrises and sunsets is Chisapani. From here, one can also see the Lantang region.

In the morning, the views of the mountains in the north entice you. Your journey starts at Chauki Bhanjag, which is about two and a half hours away. You continue on the charming roads that lead to Nagarkot. Nagarkot, at 2175 meters, is without a doubt one of the most popular destinations. When the weather is clear, the Himalaya range, which extends past Everest from Dhaulagiri in the west to Kanchenjunga in the east, rises out of the shadows to greet the thrilled tourist with its magnificent splendor. We enjoy the alpine sunset from the hill station of Nagarkot. Nagarkot, which offers stunning views of the entire Himalayan range, including the 8,848-meter summit of Mount Everest, is a popular weekend getaway destination for urbanites in Kathmandu. In order to witness tomorrow’s sunrise over the mountains, we get into bed early.

Get up early to see the sunrise because Nagorkot is a well-liked destination for sunrise and sunset views. Perhaps the greatest view of the Himalayas, including Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest) and many others, can be seen from Nagarkot. Choba Bhamree, Gauri Shankar, Shisa Pangma, Mansul, Ganesh, Langtang, and numerous others. Following breakfast, we begin our hike to Dhulikhel. The serene slopes are framed by an amazing view of the snow-capped middle Himalayas. Originally a Newari trading post on the way to the Tibetan plateau, it is now a popular destination for tourists who want to take in the natural surroundings, the way of life of the locals, the ancient Newari culture, and breathtaking scenery. Dhulikhel is well-known for its advantageous location for observing the Himalayan range, which stretches from Himalachuli in the west to Cho-yu in the east.

The trail ascends to the Kali Mandir from Dhulikhel, then descends to the settlement of Kavre, passing a row of stores and tea houses. After passing Phulbari, it climbs once more through pine forests before climbing and descending a few more hills to reach NamoBuddha (1750m), a significant Buddhist pilgrimage site in Kavre District, some 38 km east of Kathmandu. This quaint small hill is home to temples and a stupa that honor a long-standing sacred site where a mythological prince named Mahasattva offered himself to a starving Tigress who delivered multiple undernourished pups. Adjacent to a venerated stupa is a stone plaque that honors this legendary event.

Drive back to Kathmandu after trekking from Namobuddha to Panauti. The walk passes through some lovely villages, and after breakfast, we can explore some ancient temples and learn about the customs of the Newari people when we get to Panauti. Return to Kathmandu.

You will be transported from the hotel to Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport on the last day of your trip. At this point, your incredible journey will come to an end. You will leave with priceless memories of your hike in the breathtaking Nagarkot – Dhulikhel – Namobuddha – Panauti Hiking, whether you are flying home or continuing your journey. We wish you a safe journey and look forward to seeing you again soon.
