Sundarijal

The Sundarijal Waterfall, often known as “beautiful water,” is situated 17 kilometers northeast of Kathmandu. The Sundarijal Waterfall is particularly well-known among local tourists who cycle, swim, picnic, and walk there. You can enjoy breathtaking vistas of the Kathmandu Valley and the lovely Tamang village of Mulkharka after a few hours of hiking. It also supplies Kathmandu with water and electricity through the Sundarijal Hydroelectric Power Station.

It’s the gateway to the Shivapuri National Park and the famous Kathmandu Valley Trekking. The journey to Chisapani starts from Sundarijal, about a 5-6 hour hike; this area is famous for cycling and trekking trails for local and foreign tourists. It takes 4-5 hours to ride from bike cycling. During Chisapani cycling, we can see the hidden valley and snow-capped mountains. 

Chisapani is where you can hike and trek to a different location. For example, there is a hiking route to Nagarkot and a trekking trail to Langtang Valley and Gosaikunda.
