Highlights
Chandragiri-Champadevi Hiking is the best one-day hike to do in Kathmandu. Despite the huge traffic and busy city life, Kathmandu provides one of the best spots to go hiking. It is none other than the Chandragiri-Champadevi Hiking Trail. Chandragiri is a great religious destination for Nepalis, with extra flair provided by the most exquisite view of the whole Kathmandu Valley. From Chandragiri, continue walking up to Bhasmasur ridge for 1½ hours. Bhasmasur ridge (2,500 m) is the highest altitude viewpoint that provides an amazing view of the Himalayan range. Continuing the day hike with the forest and the views of Kathmandu on your left makes the hike even more worthwhile.

About Kathmandu
Kathmandu is Nepal's ancient, colourful capital, a valley city of temples, stupas and royal squares and the gateway to the Himalaya.
Kathmandu Durbar Square, the old royal square, is crowded with pagoda-roofed temples and palaces, and nearby lives the Kumari, the city's living child goddess. Thamel, the travellers' quarter, is a tangle of lanes selling trekking gear, prayer flags and handicrafts, busy with cafés and rooftop restaurants.
Top-ranked sights in Kathmandu: Namche Bazaar, Pashupatinath, Kathmandu Durbar Square (Basantapur).
