Gear up for an action-packed escape from the Kathmandu Valley rim! The trail from Sankhu to Nagarkot delivers a perfect blend of historic cultural immersion, lush pine forest singletracks, and sprawling terraced farmlands. Starting from an ancient Newari town, this steady uphill trek tests your legs with a rewarding gain in elevation, opening up to panoramic vistas of the Langtang and Ganesh Himal ranges. It is an unmissable day-hike for trail enthusiasts seeking fresh alpine air, serene village trails, and epic Himalayan backdrops.

Highlights

  • Panoramic views of the majestic Himalayan mountain range stretching along the horizon.
  • Steep singletracks passing through dense oak, pine, and rhododendron wilderness.
  • The sacred, pagoda-style Bhaleshwar Mahadev Temple perched right on the peak.
  • Historic significance where King Prithvi Narayan Shah once plotted the unification of Nepal.
  • An exhilarating 2.4 km aerial cable car ride flying down over the forest canopy.
Itinerary

08:00 AM – Matatirtha

Lace up your boots at the sacred ponds of Matatirtha. Dive straight into the trail, tackling an immediate and steady gradient through local farmlands before penetrating deep into the dense, cool forest canopy.

11:30 AM – Bhaleshwor Mahadev

Break out of the tree line and complete the final steep push to the top of Chandragiri Hill. Stand beside the sacred Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple, take in the 360-degree Himalayan and valley views, and recharge with lunch at the summit complex.

01:00 PM – Cable Car Station

Head over to the top cable car station. Swap the foot trek for a smooth, high-flying gondola ride that glides 2.4 kilometers down the mountain side, offering bird's-eye views of the forest to wrap up the adventure.

Please allow 1 hour to reach Lamatar, and 1 hour for the return journey to your hotel after the hike from Suryabinayak.
