Find my trekking partner

Chisapani Nagarkot Trek is a 3-day trek in the Kathmandu Valley region of Nepal that climbs to 2,175 m. Foreign trekkers can find a partner for it on FindTrekkingPartner by posting a trip with their dates, budget and pace. Matches stay private until both trekkers agree, and the service is free. At mid-range rates a licensed guide costs about USD 28 per person over 3 days when four trekkers share, against USD 112 for one trekker alone. The best seasons are Oct–Nov, Mar–Apr. The Nepal Tourism Board April 2023 rule requires a licensed guide in national parks and conservation areas. Local practice differs (checked 19 October 2026): the Khumbu municipality opted out and issues its own trek card, and day hikes are rarely checked, but follow the rule and hire a guide; confirm with your agency. Last verified: October 19, 2026. Sources: Nepal Tourism Board, DNPWC, Department of Immigration.

Partner tips for Chisapani Nagarkot Trek

  • Checkpoint practice on open routes like this one is looser than the written rule, but follow the rule: most partners hire a guide. Decide as a group before you buy permits.
  • Match on the start day before anything else: on Chisapani Nagarkot Trek a one-day difference at the start changes every lodge booking and acclimatisation stop.
  • Agree the pace for the longest days and the highest nights, not for the easy start. Ask partners how they handled their last trek above 3,000 m.
  • Put the guide fee, porter share and tip split in writing before you book. The three-line template in our guide takes five minutes.
  • Decide now what happens if someone turns back: who keeps the guide, and how costs are split for the days walked.

Chisapani Nagarkot Trek: questions trekkers ask

Find my trekking partner

Yes, the rule applies in Kathmandu Valley: a licensed guide through a registered agency is part of the permit (Department of Immigration). National parks and conservation areas: the Nepal Tourism Board rule of April 2023 requires a licensed guide. Local practice differs: 2026 operator reports say checkpoints check for a guide in Annapurna and Langtang, while Khumbu (Everest) uses a municipal trek card instead. Follow the rule: trek with a licensed guide through a registered agency in every region. Most solo trekkers hire a guide and then pay for it alone; with partners you split that cost.

With 4 trekkers the licensed guide works out at about NPR 3,750 each instead of NPR 15,000 alone (estimate, mid-range, 3 days). Jeeps and porters split the same way.
