For many, Champa Devi (2,285m) is at the top of the list when it comes to hiking around Kathmandu. It is the third tallest hills around Kathmandu valley and a pilgrimage site having a Buddhist stupa and a Hindu shrine. Champa Devi is significantly a good scenic point of city and mountain vistas. Enjoy the good view of the city of Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Patan along with monuments and artifacts. One can expect a glimpse of Ganesh Himal, Annapurna, Langtang, and Gaurishanker on a clear day.
First thing first – enjoy your morning breakfast at your hotel before we head out for the trip. On a private car/jeep, we’ll drive 16km south to Kathmandu, until reaching to a little town of Pharping. Form here, we’ll begin the hike along a gradual uphill trail. Follow the guideline and information provided by your hiking guide. You can feel the freshness of untouched nature while passing through the pine-forested area. It takes around 3 hours to reach the top of Champa Devi. Get some rest, visit a temple and enjoy the panoramic view of diversified nature. There is no lunch place on this hiking route, we recommend carrying some food from the city. Have your to-go food and continue downhill walk towards Hattiban in order to catch the ride and drive back to the city.
