You step out of Kathmandu's traffic noise into a cool ceiling of rhododendron and oak; the trail from Sundarijal slips immediately into Shivapuri National Park, where streams dare you to pause and listen. By midday you move through terraced fields and small settlements, the village of Chisapani appearing like an open balcony that frames a long seam of Himalayan peaks. The first day's five-hour walk ends in a teahouse; the second, a demanding seven-hour stretch, delivers you to Nagarkot in time for a sunset that stains the snowcaps.

Participants should have steady cardiovascular fitness and be comfortable walking 5–7 hours on varied terrain for consecutive days.
Moderate fitness is required: expect back-to-back days of 5–7 hours walking on uneven, sometimes steep terrain; regular walkers should manage comfortably.
No high-altitude acclimatization is necessary; maximum elevations are in the lower Himalayan foothills, though you may feel shortness of breath if unfit.
Nights are in basic teahouses or guesthouses (twin sharing) until Nagarkot, where you stay in a hotel; amenities are simple but adequate for this short trek.
Shivapuri National Park requires an entry fee and local regulations apply; your operator typically handles permits and briefing as part of the tour.
Changunarayan Temple near Bhaktapur is an early medieval (Licchavi-period) Hindu temple and one of the valley's oldest pilgrimage sites.
