We can reach to Pharping via local bus from old buspark of Kathmandu. After reaching Pharping we have to start our hike. The best place to start our hike is from Dollu valley. Dollu valley is situated immediately north of Pharping. Fist of all our destination is to hike through the Champadevi Hill. This hill gets its name from the temple of goddess Champadevi situated on this hill. We have to travel north west crossing Hattiban Hight Resort. By crossing the dense pine forest we reached to grassy top of the hill.It takes around three to four hours to reach this place from Pharping. It is good idea to bring food and water during this hike.
From Champadevi we have to descend to reach Chandragiri. Cool and fresh air with no sound of urban area makes us feel as if we are far away from the town. The melodious song of birds and leaf of pine trees makes us to forget the difficult path and enjoy the gift of nature. After a hiking of two and half hour from Champadevi hill we finally reach to Chandragiri hill.
On a clear day the view from this hill attracts all the nature lover.It is the place from where we can view the four neighboring districts of Kathmandu. History says that King Prithivi Narayan Shah had seen the Kathmandu valley from this very place and and imagine to rule such a beautiful place.
After taking some images for memories and enjoy the view we have to hike downhill to reach Machhegaun. It takes around three hours to reach Machhegaun from where we can find local bus to return back to Kathmandu valley.
It is best place for short trip and enjoyment and one should have to consider this place in first priority for one day trip.
