Sundarijal Nagarkot Hike with Yoga

Sundarijal Nagarkot Hike with Yoga: Best Season

Our Sundarijal Nagarkot hike with yoga is suitable to take any time any day of the year. However, you will be practicing yoga sessions, deep breathing, and meditation each morning and evening outdoors amid the magical hills and Himalayas of Nepal.

Therefore, it is very important for the weather to be pleasant, mild, peaceful, and calm which can offer an exceptional outdoor setting for yoga.

This outdoor setting is achievable all the time during the spring of March, April, and May and the autumn of September, October, and November. The aromatic air, and the delicious landscape of Sundarijal, Chisapani, and Nagarkot will be enhanced while the Himalayas will shine with extra brilliance.

Winter mornings and evenings of December, January, and February will be chilly but tolerable. In Nagarkot, however, a bit of snow may fall in January, which can hinder our outdoor yoga.

Likewise, the rains in the monsoon of June, July, and August will also hinder your outdoor yoga practices and the long hike to Nagarkot through the Shivauri forest.

For whom the Sundarijal Nagarkot Yoga Hike is suitable?

The Sundarijal Nagarkot Yoga Hike is made for all yoga lovers and for those seeking a different walking nature trail in Nepal. This trip can be perfect to begin nurturing peace of your mind, body, and soul and also to encourage your children to appreciate the benefits of yoga and nature.

Older adults suffering from any kind of pain and bodily discomforts can also gain from this experience. With a bit of flair for hiking action on the mountain, this is equally perfect for hiking lovers be it the beginners or the experienced ones who are tired of typical walking trails.

This tour for a short moment also gives you a superficial insight of the Buddhist culture. Lasting only 5 days, our Sundarijal Nagarkot hike with yoga is also suitable for those with limited vacation time.

Altitude Sickness Threat in Sundarijal Nagarkot Hike with Yoga 5 Days

Acute mountain sickness/altitude sickness will not occur in our Sundarijal Nagarkot hike with yoga trip as you will always remain at a comforting altitude below 2200 m where oxygen content will be consistent.

Additionally, you will also be practicing deep breathing and yoga poses, which will further prevent acute mountain sickness. This is why even older adults with bronchitis, asthma, or other respiratory or heart conditions can participate in this trip, provided they take the Nagarkot hike at a slow and careful pace.

Is any training needed for our Sundarijal Nagarkot Hike with Yoga?

Sundarijal Nagarkot hike with yoga is fairly an easy journey but the two days of the hike that we have planned for you include a 13 km long walk for 4 hours to Chisapani from Sundarijal and an 18 km 7 hour long hike from Chisapani to Nagarkot.

Such a lengthy foot journey can be a bit exhausting for those who are accustomed to long hikes. Particularly on the route to Nagarkot, you will encounter several smaller ridges that require you to ascend and descend, which can be quite demanding.

So to make yourself ready for this long up-and-down walk, it is better that you start walking, stair climbing, and running one month before our Sundarijal Nagarkot hike with yoga starts.

Gradual progression in the duration and distance will be advantageous. No particular hiking techniques will be needed and if you are not fond of walking, then you can also play sports you enjoy or engage in exercises like squats, Pilates, or planks.

The aim is to involve yourself in any physical activities that you love doing to build the endurance of your leg and heart muscles.

Possibility of Lengthening your Sundarijal Nagarkot Hike with Yoga 5 Days Trip

We understand if you like to stay for a few more days and refine your skills in Yoga and meditation. Five days will not be enough to learn and master all the asanas of yoga which is actually quite vast and deep.

Besides, there are also other more perfect nature destinations in Nepal where you can connect more deeply with your inner being. So if you choose, you can also extend your Sundarijal Nagarkot hike with yoga to the peaceful Himalayan environment of Pokhara, Khopra Danda, or Mardi Himal.

Or, you may decide to explore further to remote corners of Upper Mustang or even Kailash. However, if you choose not to go that far, there are plenty of yoga destinations near Kathmandu as well such as Chandragiri, Phulchoki, Godavari etc.

Sleeping, Eating, and Travel Management

A twin sharing room of a deluxe accommodation in Kathmandu eagerly awaits your arrival. The garden and terrace of this accommodation will be the perfect outdoor setting for your early morning yoga sessions.

Outside Kathmandu at Chisapani, a basic mountain lodge will be organized where again a twin sharing room will be available to you. The utilities can be pretty basic but you may get an attached shower and toilet with paid WiFi and hot water.

In Nagarkot, the deluxe mountain resort will serve as your yoga and sleep retreat center. The garden and terraces overlook the magnificent Himalayan views thus giving you a perfect spot for yoga in the fresh Himalayan air.

When walking towards Chisapani and Nagarkot, breakfasts, dinners, and lunches will be served to you.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is not an obligatory requirement but we advise you to get one for our Sundarijal Nagarkot yoga hike. The trip contains simple walks and yoga practices near Kathmandu at a comfortable sea-level altitude. Still, you never know what you will go through in international lands because of new environments and unfamiliar foods.

During our Sundarijal Nagarkot hike with yoga, you will also be learning gentle yoga asanas, and if you are not careful enough, a wrong move can cause muscle strains or ligament injuries that may require medical attention.

Additionally, your trip may also get delayed by one day or so due to weather conditions and you may need to extend your hotel stay which can lead to unexpected personal expenses.

If you have travel insurance, all these international trip nuisances will be handled by your insurer and you will also get reimbursed for your unexpected expenses.

Therefore, when getting travel insurance for this trip, you should include hiking activities up to 2200 m elevation, medical transport, and treatment coverage along with extended stays and trip postponements.
