Champadevi sits at 2,285m on the southern rim of the valley, topped by a small shrine and a scatter of prayer flags. The climb starts near Pharping, an important pilgrimage area for both Hindus and Buddhists.
Because it faces north, the summit gives one of the best full-width views of Kathmandu, with the Himalaya rising behind the city on a clear day.
Trip Highlights
- A 2,285m summit on the valley southern rim
- One of the widest views back across Kathmandu
- The shrine and prayer flags at the top
- Pharping, with its Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage sites
- Pine forest and open ridge walking
- A half-day option is available from the lower trailhead
