Champadevi Hike

Hiking is the preferred term, in Canada and the United States, for a long, vigorous walk, usually on trails (footpath), in the countryside.The idea of taking a walk in the countryside for pleasure developed in the 18th century, and arose because of changing attitudes to the landscape and nature associated with the Romantic moments.

On the morning of 18th august, we all gathered at kalimati. We took taxi from kalimati to bosan and had heavy breakfast and started our journey with full energy within us. For all its grandeur and immensity, planning a trek in hills isn’t as difficult as you might think. Trekking tourism has been popular in here for decades and Nepalis are excellent hosts. After 3 hours of walk we finally reached champadevi temple which is situated at an altitude of 2285m south-west of Kathmandu. It is a pilgrimage site having Buddhist stupa and a hindu shrine commands. Usually pilgrims visit this place on the full moon day. The trail goes gradually uphill for about half an hour towards the north ridge and then ascends further through the beautiful forest to Champadevi.

It took us almost 2 hours to reach on the top of the hill where we had our lunch. It was one of the best destination to see Kathmandu valley including  lalitpur and bhaktapur and beautiful eye catching mountain ranges such as Everest, ganeshhimal, Annapurna, langtang, gaurishankhar and many more .during hike you can also see bagmati river, khokana, pharphing which are historical places of Nepal. You can see fulchoki hill on your right, chandragiri hills which is the highest hill around Kathmandu on your left. We took some rest and continued our walk again.

It was one of the best, easy, short enjoyable one day hiking trips in the southern hill of Kathmandu valley. Walking through the lush pine forest we reached hattiban resort. When we were leaving the summit trail descends steeply down to the road. It goes through the dense forest which is rich with beautiful birds and other wildlife.
