From Kathmandu: Guided Surya Chaur Day Hike w/ Hotel Pickup

Escape the city noise and immerse yourself in nature on a day hike to Surya Chaur. Enjoy panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley and snowcapped peaks.
Leave behind the noise of Kathmandu and immerse yourself in nature with a peaceful day hike to Surya Chaur, a hidden gem in the Shivapuri-Nagarjun National Park. Located just an hour’s drive from the capital, Surya Chaur offers pristine landscapes, stunning Himalayan views, and a chance to explore rural hill life all within a day.

Begin your journey with a scenic drive to Gurje Bhanjyang, the starting point of the hike, situated at the edge of the national park. As you ascend gently through cool pine forests and rhododendron groves, the trail offers panoramic vistas of the Kathmandu Valley to the south and snowcapped peaks like Langtang, Ganesh Himal, and Manaslu to the north on clear days.

After about 2 to 2.5 hours of moderate walking, reach Surya Chaur, a wide grassy meadow perched at approximately 2,100 meters elevation. True to its name “Surya” means sun this open hilltop is bathed in sunshine and offers sweeping views of Himalayan ridgelines, terraced fields, and remote villages dotting the hillsides. It’s the perfect place to relax, enjoy a packed lunch or local tea, and take in the tranquil beauty of Nepal’s countryside.

This hike is ideal for those seeking a short, non-technical trekking experience near Kathmandu, with the chance to experience nature, birdlife, and rural charm all without the crowds.
