Kathmandu: 4-Day Valley Ridge Trek with Homestay

Join today to hike Sundarijal to Nagarkot—local villages, Dhap Dam, and Himalayan views in just 4 days.
Join us for the Kathmandu Valley Ridge Trek, a short but unforgettable 4-day adventure that combines Himalayan scenery, peaceful forests, rural life, and cultural heritage—all just outside the bustle of Kathmandu. Designed for travelers with limited time, this trek offers ridge walks with mountain views, authentic local food, cozy homestays, and UNESCO heritage exploration.

The journey begins with a short drive to Sundarijal, the gateway to Shivapuri National Park. From the start, you’ll leave the city behind and step into nature—waterfalls, oak and rhododendron forests, and quiet Tamang villages where farming is still the way of life. By late afternoon, the trail brings you to Chisapani, a ridge-top village with sweeping views of the Langtang and Ganesh Himal ranges. Here, you’ll spend the night in a tea house or homestay, enjoying warm hospitality and freshly cooked meals.

On day two, the trek continues through ridge trails and open countryside toward Dhap Dam, a peaceful reservoir surrounded by greenery. This scenic spot has become a local favorite for its tranquil setting. From here, the path leads to Lapsiphedi and onward to Jarsing Pauwa, a traditional Newar settlement where you’ll spend the night. Staying here offers an authentic glimpse of rural culture, with homegrown food and friendly hosts making you feel at home.

Day three brings you along gentle ridge lines with terraced fields, rolling hills, and occasional glimpses of snowy peaks. The pace is relaxed, giving you time to enjoy the scenery and village encounters. By afternoon, you’ll arrive in Nagarkot, one of Nepal’s most famous hill stations. Known for its stunning sunrises and sunsets, Nagarkot offers breathtaking Himalayan views—Langtang, Dorje Lakpa, Gaurishankar, and even Everest on a clear day. As the sun sets, the peaks glow in golden hues, leaving a lasting impression.

The final day begins with Nagarkot’s sunrise, a highlight for many trekkers. After breakfast, you’ll descend along terraced fields and quiet paths to reach Changunarayan Temple, the oldest Hindu temple in the valley and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its stone carvings and rich history provide the perfect cultural finale to your trek. A short drive then returns you to Kathmandu.

Throughout the trek, nights are spent in tea houses and homestays run by local families. Accommodation is simple but welcoming, and meals are organic and hearty—rice, lentils, vegetables, and homemade pickles prepared with love.

This trek is not about luxury; it’s about connection—with nature, with people, and with the rhythm of rural life. Whether you’re new to trekking, traveling with family, or simply looking for a refreshing escape, the Kathmandu Valley Ridge Trek offers the perfect balance of adventure and comfort. You’ll return to Kathmandu inspired, refreshed, and filled with memories of Himalayan beauty and Nepali warmth.
