Best Time to Experience:


You should undertake the Chisapani Nagarkot hike during the enchanting seasons of autumn and spring. These periods, which span from September to November and March to May respectively, reveal Nepal's natural beauty at its finest. Similarly, the months during these seasons feature clear skies, comfortable temperatures, and optimal visibility of the surrounding Himalayan peaks. The lush greenery and vibrant blooms bring the picturesque landscapes to life, crafting a captivating backdrop for your trek.
However, it's important to note that the hike can be enjoyed throughout the year. While autumn and spring offer the most favorable conditions, other seasons have their own unique charm. Summer provides a chance to experience the vibrancy of Nepal's landscapes, but it's essential to be aware that the monsoon season, which falls between June and August, can present challenges. During this time, the trails may become muddy and slippery, and the captivating views can occasionally be obscured by mist and rain.
