Kathmandu Valley Trek

Travel to Nepal and enjoy a four-day adventure through some of the spectacular countryside surrounding Kathmandu. Trek from Shivapuri to Bhaktapur and meet with monks, watch a spectacular sunrise and explore medieval towns, always in view of the vast Himalayas. Along the way, stay in simple yet comfortable teahouses, and get an up-close look at Nepalese life.

Namaste! Welcome to Nepal. Your Short Break Adventure begins straight away at Hotel Marshyangdi at 8.30 am. Drive to the outskirts of Kathmandu to Sundarijal. When you arrive, you’ll head out for your first hike, starting with a long flight of steps. Follow the water pipeline to the entrance of the Shivapuri National Park, passing the water reservoir. Continue up more stairs to the strung-out village of Mulkharka. After a simple lunch at one of the wayside shops, you’ll pass an abandoned school and head into the woods. The shade will bring some welcome relief, and with weather on your side, you'll get your first glimpse of the mountains. Emerging out of the woods, you’ll make your way to your guesthouse in Chisapani.

It’s a long walking day today through beautiful countryside, including Shivapuri National Park – home to over 300 species of birds as well as rarely sighted bears, leopards and several species of deer. You’ll hike through settlements, lush vegetation and dirt tracks today, uphill and downhill to Nagarkot. When you arrive, enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the Himalayas.

Relish the sunrise view over the distant Himalayas that Nagarkot has built its reputation on. After breakfast, hike downhill to visit the oldest temple in Nepal – Changu Narayan. Legend suggests a temple has been on this spot since 325 AD. Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, the temple is revered by Hindu's all over Nepal. Continue by public bus along a scenic route through terraced paddy fields, villages and pine forests to the medieval town of Bhaktapur. This afternoon, wander the cobble stone streets of this 'city of devotees' and maybe try a delicious bowl of homemade yoghurt (a local specialty) before watching the comings and goings in ancient Durbar Square.

You have a free morning to explore Bhaktapur at your own pace before returning to Kathmandu. Your Short Break Adventure comes to an end in Kathmandu at approximately 1 pm this afternoon. No accommodation is included tonight, but if you’d like to extend your stay, just get in touch with your booking agent.

  • Get a taste of trekking in Nepal without the long commitment and high altitudes of an Everest Base Camp trek, enjoying diverse styles of accommodation and the ability to see all the different aspects of life in Nepal.
  • On Short Breaks, you maintain a good level of independence and freedom, with the added bonus of having the details sorted out for you. You’ll have lots of free time and you won’t be accompanied by a Trip Leader. This means that all included activities and tours will be run by different local Intrepid partners, and these may operate independently from each other. The included activities and transfers will operate on a join-in basis, which means that you could have your Adventure all to yourself, or others may join you along the way. If you would prefer to travel in a group with a dedicated Trip Leader, just get in touch with your booking agent and they will take you through some alternatives. While nowhere near as challenging as a multi-day trek at an altitude such as Everest Base Camp, you will still need excellent fitness for this trek as you will be trekking 5 to 7 hours a day on Days 1 to 3. Take note of the time of year you are trekking to know what to expect weather wise. While June-August is monsoon, weather conditions can be unpredictable at any time of the year including rain and fog which can make views cloudy and the ground muddy. A duffel bag is provided on this trip, along with a porter. Your porter can carry up to 8 kg per traveller. Other luggage can be left in Kathmandu.
