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.

What you'll see and do
Chandragiri Hill
We begin our journey with a short ride to the Chandragiri Cable Car bottom station. Soaring above lush green hills, the cable car ride offers breathtaking views of the Himalayas and the Kathmandu Valley. Once at the top, we begin our forest hike, soaking in the peaceful ambience of the hills. After approximately 2 hours of walking through serene woodlands, we reach Chapdanda, a perfect spot to unwind, relax, and take in the beauty of nature. We'll enjoy a delicious lunch here before continuing our trek. Another 2-hour scenic walk leads us to Bhasmasur Hill, a spectacular viewpoint offering a panoramic view of snow-capped peaks and surrounding landscapes. From here, we descend toward the sacred Champadevi Temple, a spiritual destination with incredible vistas of the mountains and Kirtipur city. After a one-hour walk, we will reach the road connecting to Kathmandu, then we will return via private transfer.

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chandragiri Champadevi Day Hike: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Chandragiri Champadevi Day Hike cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Chandragiri Champadevi Day Hike take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.
Is Chandragiri Champadevi Day Hike worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chandragiri Champadevi Day Hike?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Chandragiri Champadevi Day Hike suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chandragiri Champadevi Day Hike?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chandragiri Champadevi Day Hike start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?
+
On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kathmandu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Chandragiri Champadevi Day Hike?
+
Included: Lunch; English Speaking Guide; One way cable car ticket; 2 Bottles of water for each client; and Private transportation. Not included: Hiking equipments; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Chandragiri Champadevi Day Hike include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Chandragiri Champadevi Day Hike offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Chandragiri Champadevi Day Hike?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Chandragiri Champadevi Day Hike if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
