Trip Itinerary
The Champadevi Day Hike begins with an early morning departure from your hotel in Kathmandu around 7:00 AM. After about a one-hour drive by car, van, or bus, you reach Bhanjyang near Pharping, the starting point of the hike. If time permits, there may also be an opportunity to visit the peaceful Neydo Tashi Choling Monastery before beginning the trail.
The hike starts with a steep uphill walk along stone steps for about an hour, leading to Hattiban Resort. From here, the trail continues gradually through beautiful pine forests toward Deurali, offering refreshing natural surroundings and scenic views of the Kathmandu Valley and distant Himalayan ranges. After another gentle ascent, the final section becomes slightly steeper as you approach the summit of Champadevi Hill (2,180 m). From the trail to the top of the Hill, hikers are rewarded with spectacular panoramic views of the Himalayas, including the Ganesh Himal, Langtang, and Jugal ranges.
After enjoying the breathtaking scenery and a relaxing lunch at the summit, the hike descends along the same trail to Deurali. From there, the route follows a different path down toward Taudaha Lake before driving back to Kathmandu, completing a rewarding and refreshing day hike.
