Highlights

Drive to Sundarijal (1 hour) and Trek to Chisapani, 2300 meters

Chisapani - After enjoying breakfast, the journey begins with a drive to Sundarijal (2200m) in a private vehicle. Upon arrival, the trek commences through Mulkharka village, inhabited by the Tamang community, passing through lush forests and ascending the eastern ridge to the Shivapuri forest, rich with oaks and rhododendrons, leading to Chisapani (2300m). Overnight accommodation is provided in a guest house in Chisapani.

Trek to Nagarkot

Nagarkot - In the morning, the northern mountain views captivate visitors. The trek begins towards Chauki Bhanjag, taking approximately 2.5 hours. The delightful trails continue towards Nagarkot. At 2175m, Nagarkot is a highly popular destination. In clear weather, the Himalayan range, stretching from Dhaulagiri in the west to Kanchenjunga in the east, including Everest, reveals its breathtaking majesty and beauty. Visitors enjoy the sunset over the mountains from the Nagarkot hill station. Nagarkot is favored by the urban residents of Kathmandu as a nearby weekend getaway, offering magnificent panoramic views of numerous Himalayan ranges, including the 8,848-meter-high Mt. Everest. An early bedtime is recommended to catch the mountain sunrise the following day.

Trek to Changu (3 hours) and drive back to Kathmandu

Changu Narayan - An early rise allows for witnessing the sunrise over the eastern Himalayan ranges, including Mt. Everest. After breakfast, the hike to Changunarayan begins, passing through terraced fields and traditional Tamang villages with ocher-colored houses. It’s fascinating to see how these villages, so close to Kathmandu, maintain a traditional lifestyle akin to remote areas. The initial part of the hike offers insights into the culture and lifestyle of the native people along the trail. There may even be an opportunity to observe locals making “Raksi,” a local wine, through a simple distillation process. The latter part of the hike is more nature-focused, traversing deciduous forests and offering close views of flora and fauna. The highlight is the panorama of distant snow-capped mountains set against this natural backdrop. The journey concludes at Changunarayan, the oldest pagoda-style temple in Kathmandu and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The temple is renowned for its exquisite stone sculptures. After exploring the temple area, the trip concludes with a drive back to Kathmandu.

10/10 - Everything went as amazing as possible! We did the Nagarkot Chisopani trek, some other city tours and Everest flight experience. Our guide, Chamar, was a great presence to be around. He's charming, kind and extremely knowledgable about the trails around Kathmandu and up to Everest base camp. The treks themselves were interesting routes with great views and tons of opportunities to see how locals live and eat. Furthermore, the staff at Outshine and especially Gokul were always professional, efficient and catered to our needs, even if it wasn't a part of their normal tour plans. The flight is must do for those that don't have enough time or energy to make it to base camp. All in all, I highly recommend Outshine!

Great company to trek with! - I thoroughly recommend this tour with Outshine Adventure. The tour guide Santos was fantastic - friendly, professional and caring. The trek was beautiful through villages and mountains going at my own pace. The accommodation was good. The company is honest, fair and professional in meeting all of your needs and for a great value price.

Mediocre, promises from Viator not kept by Outshine - We were very disappointed with this tour. The first day was fine, although we had no idea we would be climbing more than 100 flights of stairs to get to the first nights lodging. They served us saimin noodles for dinner. There was no attempt to accommodate us as far as food or cleanliness. The following morning we hiked on a rocky dirt road with the dust of passing jeeps and motor bikes. This is not a hike on a trail. It was an unpleasant walk on a road. Our guide was nice, but had no interest in sharing information about the plants. trees, history or topography, etc. as we walked..After 8 miles on this road, the guide flagged down a passing jeep that gave us a ride toNafarkoy. We were glad he did that as it was a very unpleasant walk. We had to pay out of pocket $42. US dollars for that. Once we got to the hotel, which was nice we were left to ourselves until the next morning when we were driven back to Kathmandu.At no point did we get the opportunity to see the areas around town. We would have liked to spend the morning hiking in the area which has interesting places to see but we were not given that option. As nice as guide was, he spent a lot of his time on his cell phone. We request partial compensation for this unpleasant experience. As an aside we manager of Outshine wanted $30 for bring us back to hotel, when it was clearly stated that they pick us up and bring us back to hotel. Overall mediocre and not as Viator offered.
