Champa Devi, the third-highest hill around Kathmandu Valley at 2278 meters, is one of the best destinations to see Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur districts, beautiful eye-catching mountains and its ranges such as Mt. Everest, Ganesh Himal, Annapurna, Langtang, Gaurishanker, etc. For a person who has very little time to spend in Nepal and wants to see the whole Kathmandu Valley and the panoramic views of many beautiful mountains, the Champadevi Panoramic hike can be the right destination.
Kirtipur, an ancient Newar township, and the cultural place are situated 8 km southwest of Kathmandu. Its major attractions are the Chovar hill, a very scenic spot located near Kirtipur, the temple of Adinath, situated on the top of the hill, the Chilamcho Stupa, the temple of Bagh Bhairav, Uma Maheshwar temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva and Shri Kirti Bihara, a Buddhist Monastery. A visit to Kirtipur is cultural sightseeing where you can also enjoy the Newari traditional lifestyle.
