Kakani-Shivapuri- Nagarkot Trek
This trek offers excellent mountains view of Annapurna ranges, Manaslu mountain ranges, Ganesh Himal ranges , Langtang ranges, Dorje Lakpa, Melung-Tse, Gauri Shankar, Furi Cha-Chui, Lhotse, Everest and many other peaks. It also gives a rich insight into the rural life of the Nepalese people of the Kathmandu valley rim. We highly recommend this trek for those having very limited time in Nepal but want to do a short trek in the mountain. If weather permits, one can see the blossoming of rhododendrons along the ridge of the Shivapuri National Park during the trek. From Nagarkot you can watch a beautiful sunrise and sunset view.
