Changu Narayan Hiking offers the intensive pleasure hiking and walking to the oldest temple pagoda-style Hindu temple Chnagunarayan Temple with glorious views of Himalayas.

Situated some 22km east from Kathmandu valley, Changu Narayan is a pagoda-style Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu in his incarnation as Narayan and is one of the oldest temples in Nepal.

For Sankhu route, it is a 40 minutes drive from Kathmandu and then a mild hike through the beautiful hills, wilderness areas and traditional rural villages with pristine rivers to the Changu Narayanhilltopp where the temple is situated. Or alternatively, we can drive to Telkot (45mins) and then start the hike to the temple through beautiful scenery with many Himalayan peaks forming the background.

ALTITUDE ACCLIMATIZATION

To get the most from your trek, and to stay safe, it is important to follow acclimatization guidelines. At Makalu Adventure, whenever possible, we follow the acclimatization formula set out by Drs Jim Duff and Peter Gormly; experts in Wilderness Medicine. "Above 2000m, altitude illness is a possibility and above 2500m it becomes common".
"As a rough guide, above 2500m the maximum daily height gain between sleeping altitudes should not exceed 400m, with a rest day every third day or after every 1000m of sleeping ascent".
"Avoid overexertion and breathlessness while acclimatizing, stay well hydrated, avoid alcohol, excess caffeine, salt and protein, your diet should be 70% carbohydrate above 3500m".

Excellent service and a welcome by Makalu Adventure

I've known and worked with Mohan and Makalu Adventure for nearly 15 years. In that time I've led many treks and high altitude expeditions to Nepal (15 expeditions over 8000m and counting). His company provides an excellent service and a welcome that I look forward to every season. The Thamel Eco Resort is a center of tranquility in Kathmandu and the perfect place to start and finish the Himalayan Adventure. The staffs are now like family and I hope to return for many years with the guarantee of safety and security that he offers in the mountains.
