This is an easy hike that takes you to the top of Champadevi Hill. This hill situates at an elevation of 2,285. The hill has a Buddhist and Hindu Shrine on the top. The locals perform their rituals on an auspicious day. After 3 hours of walk, we reach the top. Most of the walk along the ridge offers spectacular mountain views. Even the hill offers a superb view of the central and western Himalayan range including Langtang, Gauri Shankar, Jugal, Dorge, and Lakpa. Besides this, we can see the birds-eye view of Kathmandu valley and its dense settlement from the top. Therefore, the hike offers both a scenic and spiritual journey.
Tour Extension Option
Besides, you can add a few more days to the Champadevi hiking tour to visit neighboring destinations. The man-made Indrasarowar lake, beautiful Chitlang village, and the religious town of Pharping will be the other major attractions of the trail.
Every day, hundreds of visitors reach Chandragiri Hill using a modern cable car. The day tour connects with the cable car station at the top of Chandragiri hill. Hence, using a cable car to reach the top and hiking down to Pharping, is another option for the visitors.
What gears to carry
