On this day trip from Kathmandu you will go to Champadevi, the eastern summit of the southwestern rim of the Kathmandu Valley. Champadevi is elevated 7,496 feet (2,285 meters) above the sea level and is one of the most popular pilgrimage sites in the Hindu and Buddhist religions. It is another equally best, easy, short enjoyable hike in the southern hill of Kathmandu valley.
Experience of walking through the lush pine forest on well develop trail is really wonderful experience. The trail goes gradually uphill for about half an hour towards the north ridge and then ascends further through the beautiful forest to Champadevi. Most of the walk is along the ridge and offers a spectacular bird’s eye view of the Kathmandu valley and mountains. From here we can enjoy the superb view of central and western Himalayan range including Langtang, Gauri Shanker, Jugal, Dorge Lakpa and many others.

The hike to Champadevi was a highlight of our trip, with breathtaking views that made every step worthwhile. We loved immersing ourselves in the local culture, especially when we interacted with friendly villagers along the trail; however, a bit more guidance on the cultural significance of the sites we visited would have enhanced the experience.

The hike to Champadevi offered breathtaking views of the Kathmandu valley and a wonderful glimpse into local culture that our family truly cherished. We particularly enjoyed interacting with our guide, who shared fascinating stories about the area; however, a bit more information on the flora and fauna would have added to our experience.

We had a fantastic day exploring breathtaking views while hiking with a knowledgeable guide who shared fascinating insights about local culture. The only improvement we’d suggest is to include a few more rest stops to fully appreciate the scenery along the way.
