Kathmandu Valley Trek - 3 Days - Detailed Itinerary

The trek begins with a steep climb along stone steps, passing by small hydroelectric dams, streams, and lush forests. As you ascend, you’ll encounter villages of Tamang and Chhetri communities, terraced farmlands, and rhododendron forests.

    After about 4–5 hours of trekking, you’ll reach Chisapani, a small village perched on a ridge. Chisapani offers spectacular views of the Langtang and Ganesh Himal ranges.
