This a perfect retreat for those who wish to experience the mesmerizing beauty of hilly Nepal in a short period of time!

Through the stunning natural landscape surrounding the Shivapuri National Park, which is also home to a diverse cast of wildlife, we begin our journey heading for Chisapani for our first night on the go. Continuing on the forested trail, we make our way heading toward Nagarkot, which, for generations, has been the place to go when one needs to get away from the fast-paced life of the valley. The town of Nagarkot boasts stunning views of sunrise and is well known for the Nagarkot view tower which boasts a 360-degree view of the entire region.

On a day with clear skies, the Nagarkot viewpoint hosts views from Everest to the east and Annapurna to the west.

    • Just incredible! I would have 10 stars if I could!

      We could only do a short 3-day trek due to time constraints but Ganesh gave us the best experience possible with the time we had.

      We learned so much about the plants, the animals and the culture. The tea houses we stayed in were wonderful with amazing views, good food and even better company.

      Ganesh was so kind and generous with his time and went at a pace we felt comfortable. We walked through a mix of national parks, villages with amazing views, temples and tiny little paths across huge valleys.

      Highly recommend booking with Ganesh. We wouldn’t go with anyone else and when we return to Nepal, the first person we will call is Ganesh.
