From Chisapani the trail follows the valley rim east to Nagarkot — one of the best sunrise viewpoints in Nepal, with Everest visible on clear days. Three days, two nights in teahouses, all meals included, licensed guide throughout. Moderate walking — no technical sections, no altitude concerns. Around 5 to 6 hours per day on quiet forest trails.
