Posted on by Danphe Adventure

Champadevi Hike is a scenic journey to a religious site called Champadevi, offering a unique adventure experience. Starting from Kathmandu, you’ll drive about 19km south to Pharping, passing by the DakshinKali temple. The hike begins in Pharping, an ancient town known for its Buddhist monasteries, where Guru Rinpoche is said to have achieved enlightenment.

The hike takes you through lush pine forests, gradually uphill for about half an hour, until you reach the northern ridge. From there, you’ll continue ascending to reach Champadevi Temple, located on the highest hill surrounding the Kathmandu valley. The hike takes only a few hours to reach the top of the Champadevi ridge.

During the hike, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, including Ganesh Himal, Annapurna, Langtang, Dorje Lakpa, and Gaurishankar. After enjoying the scenery, you’ll descend the same way back to Pharping and return to your hotel.

Champadevi Hiking is best enjoyed during the spring (Mar-Jun) and autumn (Sep-Nov) seasons, when the weather is pleasant and the trails are accessible.

Our journey begins with a visit to Budhanikantha, located 8 kilometers north of Kathmandu. Here, you can explore the Budhanikantha temple, famous for its statue of Lord Vishnu sleeping in a pond. As we hike uphill, we reach the park entrance where we check our permits and enter. Along the way, you’ll hear the sounds of nature, from the crunching of leaves to the chirping of birds.

Inside the park, you’ll find a diverse range of wildlife, including over 500 species of birds and animals like Indian leopards, jungle cats, Hanuman Langurs, and wild boars. Our hike takes us to Nagi Gompa, the highest point at 2330 meters, where you can learn about Buddhism and interact with monks.

The hike is suitable for all skill levels, but the trails can be slippery, so it’s essential to be cautious. After exploring Nagi Gompa, we make our way back to the park entrance and return to our hotel, concluding our trip.
